Visual field defects and changes in macular retinal ganglion cell complex thickness in eyes with intrachoroidal cavitation are similar to those in early glaucoma.

Background/aims: To examine the characteristics of visual field defects and optical coherence tomography (OCT) findings in eyes with intrachoroidal cavitation (ICC) and investigate the similarities between these results and glaucomatous changes.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed patients diagnosed with ICC based on peripapillary radial cross-sectional scans performed with OCT. Visual field was measured with the Humphrey automated visual field analyzer SITA standard central 24-2 program, and macular ganglion cell complex (GCC) thickness was measured in 9×9 mm areas on OCT.

Sustainability of Intraocular Pressure Reduction of Travoprost Ophthalmic Solution in Subjects with Normal Tension Glaucoma.

Introduction: We examined the sustainability of the intraocular pressure (IOP)-lowering efficacy of travoprost (0.004%) ophthalmic solution in subjects with normal tension glaucoma (NTG).

Methods: Travoprost ophthalmic solution was given once daily at 9 PM to subjects with newly diagnosed NTG or with NTG who had not received any ocular hypotensives within the previous 30 days.

In vivo confocal microscopic evidence of keratopathy in patients with pseudoexfoliation syndrome.

Purpose: To measure the density of cells in different layers of the cornea and to determine whether morphologic changes of the subbasal corneal nerve plexus are present in eyes with the pseudoexfoliation (PEX) syndrome.

Methods: Twenty-seven patients with unilateral PEX syndrome and 27 normal controls were investigated. All eyes underwent corneal sensitivity measurements with an esthesiometer and in vivo confocal microscopic study.
