Purpose: This report describes a case of bilateral primary angle closure (PAC) progressing to unilateral end-stage primary angle closure glaucoma (PACG) associated with treatment for coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) infection.

Methods: A 64-year-old man came to our attention because of blurred vision after a 2-month hospital stay for treatment of COVID-19 infection. Examination findings revealed PACG, with severe visual impairment in the right eye and PAC in the left eye due to plateau iris syndrome.

Purpose: We compared the performance and usability of the Fundus Automated Perimetry (FAP) and Humphrey Field Analyzer (HFA) in patients with glaucoma, ocular hypertension, and healthy subjects.

Materials And Methods: A total of 60 participants, divided in three groups of 20, glaucoma (POAG), ocular hypertension (OHT), and controls group, underwent a HFA test 24-2 SITA standard and a FAP test 24-2 ZEST sequence, in randomized order. The mean differences between perimeters of mean deviation (MD), pattern standard deviation (PSD) were correlated using the -test and the Bland-Altman plot while execution time, Glaucoma Staging System 2 (GSS2), Hodapp-Parrish-Anderson staging system, localization of the defect, false positives (FP), and false negatives (FN) were compared with -test analysis.

Purpose: To assess the choroidal thickness in advanced primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) comparing patients affected by advanced glaucoma and normal subject using spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT).

Methods: In total, 35 eyes of 35 patients affected by POAG with advanced perimetric defect (mean deviation worse than -12 dB) were prospectively enrolled and underwent a complete ophthalmologic examination, including enhanced depth imaging SD-OCT. One eye of 35 healthy subjects served as control group.

Purpose: To present an unusual case of simultaneous bilateral acute angle-closure (AAC) glaucoma in a patient with subarachnoid hemorrhage due to an aneurysm involving the right middle cerebral artery.

Methods: A 60-year-old woman with a clinically inexplicable bilateral nonreacting mydriasis after brain surgery underwent an ophthalmologic consultancy. The bilateral mydriasis was diagnosed as an unusual clinical presentation of simultaneous bilateral AAC glaucoma.
