Purpose: To compare the detection and rates of progressive retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) and ganglion cell-inner plexiform layer (GCIPL) loss with spectral-domain (SD) OCT and visual field (VF) loss using Guided Progression Analysis (GPA; Carl Zeiss Meditec, Dublin, CA) in glaucomatous eyes classified using International Classification of Diseases (ICD) diagnosis codes.
Design: Retrospective cohort study.
Participants: Glaucoma patients with at least 3 years of follow-up and a minimum of 4 SD OCT and 5 reliable VF examinations.
Purpose: This study examines the incidence of visually significant cystoid macular edema (CME) after glaucoma drainage implant (GDI) surgery and analyses risk factors associated with developing CME and prognosis with treatment.
Materials And Methods: In total, 185 eyes from 185 glaucoma patients (mean age, 72.46±13.
Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to investigate whether obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is linked to the progression of glaucoma and how the severity of OSAS impacts the loss of visual field (VF).
- - After analyzing 141 patients with both OSAS and glaucoma, only 25 were enrolled, revealing that 44% of eyes were "progressors" with more severe initial VF loss, but age and other factors were similar between progressors and non-progressors.
- - Ultimately, the findings indicate no significant relationship between OSAS and glaucoma progression, as there was no correlation between the severity of OSAS and the rate of VF loss.
