Evaluating the effect of pupil dilation on spectral-domain optical coherence tomography measurements and their quality score.

Background: Spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) provides fast scan speed and high scan resolution improving its diagnostic accuracy. The purpose of this study was to evaluate if SD-OCT measurements and their quality score are influenced by pupil dilation.

Methods: Retinal nerve fiber layer thickness (RNFL), ganglion cell complex (GCC) and optic nerve head (ONH) were measured in one eye of 57 glaucoma patients and 36 healthy subjects using spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) before and after pupil dilation.

Effects of Topical Bimatoprost 0.01% and Timolol 0.5% on Circadian IOP, Blood Pressure and Perfusion Pressure in Patients with Glaucoma or Ocular Hypertension: A Randomized, Double Masked, Placebo-Controlled Clinical Trial.

Purpose: To compare the 24-hour (24h) effects on intraocular pressure (IOP) and cardiovascular parameters of timolol 0.5% and bimatoprost 0.01% in open angle glaucoma and ocular hypertensive subjects.

Blindness and Glaucoma: A Multicenter Data Review from 7 Academic Eye Clinics.

Purpose: To evaluate frequency, conversion rate, and risk factors for blindness in glaucoma patients treated in European Universities.

Methods: This multicenter retrospective study included 2402 consecutive patients with glaucoma in at least one eye. Medical charts were inspected and patients were divided into those blind and the remainder ('controls').

Treatment with citicoline eye drops enhances retinal function and neural conduction along the visual pathways in open angle glaucoma.

Purpose: To evaluate the retinal function and the neural conduction along the visual pathways after treatment with citicoline eye drops in patients with open angle glaucoma (OAG).

Methods: Fifty-six OAG patients (mean age 52.4 ± 4.
