Comparison of retinal nerve fiber layer thickness measurements using time domain and spectral domain optical coherence tomography, and visual field sensitivity.

Purpose: To investigate the relationship between the peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness, as measured by Stratus time domain optical coherence tomography (OCT) (Stratus OCT) and Cirrus spectral domain OCT (Cirrus HD-OCT), and the severity indices of the visual field (VF) defects in glaucoma patients.

Methods: This was a prospective, cross-sectional study. Correlations between the individual VF sensitivity at 52 test points and the Stratus OCT and Cirrus HD-OCT, which determined peripapillary RNFL thicknesses from 6 sectors, were calculated in 54 eyes with open-angle glaucoma and 22 normal control eyes.

Effect of trabeculectomy on intraocular pressure fluctuation with postural change in eyes with open-angle glaucoma.

Purpose: To investigate the effect of trabeculectomy on the intraocular pressure (IOP) fluctuations caused by the postural change in patients with open-angle glaucoma.

Methods: Prospective, nonrandomized study. Ten eyes of 10 patients with primary open-angle glaucoma and 3 eyes of 3 patients with normal-tension glaucoma who underwent trabeculectomy were studied.

Unintentional displacement of the retina after standard vitrectomy for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment.

Objective: To study unintentional displacement of the retina after standard vitrectomy for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD).

Design: Prospective interventional case series.

Participants: Forty-three eyes of 43 consecutive patients with cystic RRD involving 1 or more quadrants underwent successful standard vitrectomy with 20% sulfur hexafluoride gas injection.

Risk factors for developing avascular filtering bleb after fornix-based trabeculectomy with mitomycin C.

Purpose: To investigate risk factors for developing avascular filtering blebs after primary fornix-based trabeculectomy with mitomycin C (MMC).

Methods: One-year observational case series. Ninety eyes of 90 patients who underwent primary trabeculectomy with MMC and a fornix-based conjunctival flap were examined.

Stratus optical coherence tomography study of filtering blebs after primary trabeculectomy with a fornix-based conjunctival flap.

Purpose: To investigate the relationship between filtering bleb function and Stratus optical coherence tomography (OCT) images.

Methods: We studied 72 eyes of 65 consecutive patients who had a fornix-based conjunctival flap in primary trabeculectomy with mitomycin C (MMC). Filtering blebs with various types of glaucoma were examined using Stratus OCT.
