Glaucoma Clinic Monitoring Over 6 Months Using Online Circular Contrast Perimetry in Comparison with Standard Automatic Perimetry: The Developing-World Setting.

Purpose: Online circular contrast perimetry provides visual field testing on any computer or tablet without additional hardware. This study compared outcomes of online circular contrast perimetry (OCCP) and standard automated perimetry (SAP) in a developing world setting.

Methods: The longitudinal and observation study was conducted on patients sampled during 2023 at Hanoi Medical University Hospital.

Integrating Genetics in Glaucoma Screening.

Prcis: As additional glaucoma genes are identified and classified, polygenic risk scores will be refined, facilitating early diagnosis and treatment. Ensuring genetic research is equitable to prevent glaucoma blindness worldwide is crucial.

Purpose: To review the progress in glaucoma genetics over the past 25 years, including the identification of genes with varying contributions to the disease and the development of polygenic risk scores.

Prospective, Randomized Controlled Trial of Cataract Surgery vs Combined Cataract Surgery With Insertion of iStent Inject.

Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of combined cataract surgery with insertion of an ab interno trabecular microbypass device (iStent Inject, Glaukos Corporation) compared to cataract surgery alone in patients with mild-to-moderate glaucoma.

Design: Prospective, randomized, assessor-masked controlled trial at a single centre.

Participants: Eyes with visually-significant cataract and mild-to-moderate glaucoma with preoperative intraocular pressure (IOP) of 12 to 30 mmHg on 0 to 3 ocular hypotensive medications.

Online Circular Contrast Perimetry: A Comparison to Standard Automated Perimetry.

Purpose: The aim was to validate and compare the diagnostic accuracy of a novel 24-degree, 52-loci online circular contrast perimetry (OCCP) application to standard automated perimetry (SAP).

Design: Prospective cohort study.

Methods: Two hundred and twenty participants (125 normal controls, 95 open angle glaucoma patients) were included.

Daily Meditation Practice for Managing Glaucoma Patients' Attitudes and Acceptance.

Prcis: Overall, 63% of glaucoma patients agreed to 45-60 minutes of daily meditation. Predictors of accepting meditation included previous meditation practice, a diagnosis of glaucoma <1 year, and having a marital status of "single".

Purpose: To explore patients' acceptance and barriers towards 45-60 minutes daily meditation for glaucoma management and to identify glaucoma patients with higher perceived stress levels who may benefit more from meditation practice.

Online circular contrast perimetry via a web-application: optimising parameters and establishing a normative database.

Purpose: To establish a normative database and optimise parameters for personal-computer based perimetry via a web-application using circular contrast targets.

Methods: Online 24-degree 52-loci perimetry was delivered through a web-application using circular flickering contrast targets. Embedding contrast differentials within targets allows calculation of relative decibel (rdB) per 256-bit greyscale level differential.
