The effects of topical latanoprost 0.005% treatment on microvascular changes in the optic nerve head and macula.

Purpose: This prospective study aimed to assess the impact of topical latanoprost 0.005% treatment on the microvasculature of the macula and optic nerve head (ONH) in primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG).

Methods: Fifty-seven eyes of 31 subjects were enrolled.

The comparison of corneal densitometry in cases with glaucoma following childhood cataract surgery and juvenile glaucoma.

Purpose: To compare the corneal densitometry (CD) in pediatric cases with glaucoma following childhood cataract surgery and juvenile open-angle glaucoma (JOAG).

Methods: This prospective comparative study involved 13 eyes with JOAG, 12 eyes with pseudophakic glaucoma, 13 eyes with aphakic glaucoma, and 15 control subjects. Pentacam HR Scheimpflug corneal topography was employed to evaluate corneal thickness (CCT) and CD values.

The Assessment of Radial Peripapillary Capillary Vessel Density in Adult Children of Patients With Primary Open Angle Glaucoma.

Prcis: The observed decrease in radial peripapillary capillary vessel density among adult children of individuals with primary open angle glaucoma, in comparison to controls, suggests the possibility of early microvascular alterations in the eyes of these at-risk individuals.

Purpose: To compare the radial peripapillary capillary vessel density (RPCVD) and peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness values of eyes between healthy adults with a maternal or paternal history of primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) and age-matched healthy controls without a family history of POAG.

Materials And Methods: RPCVD values and RNFL thicknesses in the peripapillary region and 4 quadrants (superior, inferior, nasal, and temporal) were evaluated using optical coherence tomography angiography among 30 adult children of patients with POAG and 30 age-matched healthy controls without a family history of POAG.

Macula vessel density and its relationship with the central visual field mean sensitivity across different stages of exfoliation glaucoma.

Clinical Relevance: Alterations in ocular microvasculature may contribute to pathogenesis of exfoliation glaucoma (XFG) and may improve monitoring this aggressive type of open angle glaucoma.

Background: This work aims to compare the macula vessel density and the relationship between macula vessel density and central visual field mean sensitivity between eyes with XFG and eyes with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) of different stages.

Methods: In this cross-sectional observational study, the macula vessel density values were compared among 52 POAG cases (26 early stage, 26 moderate to advanced stage) and 53 XFG cases (27 early stage, 26 moderate to advanced stage).

Intraocular Pressure Elevation After Posterior Subtenon Triamcinolone Acetonide Injection in Pediatric Non-Infectious Uveitis.

Objectives: The objectives of the study were to evaluate non-infectious pediatric uveitis patients developing elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) and glaucoma following posterior subtenon triamcinolone acetonide (PSTA) injection.

Methods: The data of 26 pediatric (<18 years) patients with active uveitis were retrospectively evaluated. Exclusion criteria were patients with a previous IOP >21 mmHg and previous subtenon or intraocular steroid injection.
