Risk factors for optic disc hemorrhage in the low-pressure glaucoma treatment study.

Purpose: To investigate risk factors for disc hemorrhage detection in the Low-Pressure Glaucoma Treatment Study.

Design: Cohort of a randomized, double-masked, multicenter clinical trial.

Methods: Low-Pressure Glaucoma Treatment Study patients with at least 16 months of follow-up were included.

Correlation between intereye difference in visual field mean deviation values and relative afferent pupillary response as measured by an automated pupillometer in subjects with glaucoma.

Purpose: To evaluate the effectiveness of a new binocular infrared computerized pupillometer in the quantitative measurement of the relative afferent pupillary response in patients with glaucoma by assessing the correlation of the intereye difference in visual function as measured by standard automated perimetry (SAP) with the intereye difference in the afferent pupillary response.

Methods: Twenty-three patients with glaucoma underwent examination with a prototype, automated, binocular pupillometer. Correlation between the intereye difference in the afferent pupillary response and the intereye difference in mean deviation (MD) was explored.

Risk factors for visual field progression in the low-pressure glaucoma treatment study.

Purpose: To investigate risk factors associated with visual field progression in the Low-pressure Glaucoma Treatment Study, a prospective trial designed to compare the effects of the alpha2-adrenergic agonist brimonidine tartrate 0.2% to the beta-adrenergic antagonist timolol maleate 0.5% on visual function in low-pressure glaucoma.

A randomized trial of brimonidine versus timolol in preserving visual function: results from the Low-Pressure Glaucoma Treatment Study.

Purpose: To compare the alpha2-adrenergic agonist brimonidine tartrate 0.2% to the beta-adrenergic antagonist timolol maleate 0.5% in preserving visual function in low-pressure glaucoma.

Comparison of stereo disc photographs and alternation flicker using a novel matching technology for detecting glaucoma progression.

Background And Objective: To compare agreement of automated alternation flicker and serial stereophotograph inspection for detection of progressive glaucoma.

Patients And Methods: Serial photographs of patients with glaucoma with at least 36 months of follow-up and perimetry every 4 months were assessed by four graders using predefined criteria with both flicker and stereophotography. The main outcome measure was progressive neuroretinal rim deterioration as identified by each technique.
