Progression to blindness in 20 years among patients with glaucomatous visual field loss in a tertiary hospital in the Philippines.

Objective: To determine visual field (VF) rates of change among patients with glaucomatous VF loss and proportion of those becoming blind based on residual life expectancy and factors associated with fast progression.

Methods And Analysis: This was a retrospective study of the VFs of patients with glaucomatous VF defects in at least one eye. Baseline and final VFs were reviewed.

Trabeculectomy Can Improve Long-Term Visual Function in Glaucoma.

Purpose: To measure the magnitude and direction of visual field (VF) rates of change in glaucoma patients after intraocular pressure (IOP) reduction with trabeculectomy.

Design: Retrospective, comparative, longitudinal cohort study.

Participants: Patients with open-angle glaucoma.

Evaluation of Choroidal Thickness, Intraocular Pressure, and Serum Osmolality After the Water Drinking Test in Eyes With Primary Angle Closure.

Purpose: We evaluated changes in choroidal thickness (ChT), IOP, ocular biometry, and serum osmolality after the water drinking test (WDT) in subjects with previous acute primary angle closure (APAC) and primary angle closure glaucoma (PACG).

Methods: We evaluated 38 subjects, including 21 with APAC and 17 with PACG. Each subject underwent IOP measurement, A-scan biometry, spectral domain-optical coherence tomography (SDOCT), anterior segment-optical coherence tomography (ASOCT), and osmolality measurements at baseline, 30, and 60 minutes after consuming at least 10 mL/kg of water.
