Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate reading performance in patients with mild to moderate primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) and explore its correlation with visual field measurements, microperimetry, and optical coherence tomography (OCT) parameters.
- Researchers compared the reading abilities of 30 POAG patients to 21 age-matched controls using various testing methods, and assessed the relationship between reading metrics and glaucoma severity indicators.
- Results showed significant links between maximum reading speed (MRS) and specific OCT measurements, with worse reading performance in patients’ poorer eye, while other visual field measures did not correlate with reading ability.
Prcis: Pupillary dilation with 0.5% tropicamide and 2.5% phenylephrine resulted in a statistically significant decrease in foveal avascular zone (FAZ) metrics in glaucoma eyes.

Methods: A total of 107 patients aged <12 years with ≥6 months follow-up were included in the study. The variables of age at onset of deviation, duration of deviation before treatment, the amount of uncorrected distance and near deviation, hyperopia, anisometropia, and accommodative convergence to accommodation ratio (AC/A) were evaluated.
Purpose: To investigate inter-eye retinal vessel density and thickness asymmetry in unilateral pseudoexfoliation syndrome and understand its use for the early detection of glaucoma.
Methods: Thirty patients with unilateral pseudoexfoliation syndrome were enrolled in our study. Optical coherence tomography angiography macular scans were used measure the retinal vessel density, and optical coherence tomography scans were used to assess the thickness parameters of the peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer and the macular ganglion cell complex.
Objective: To compare and correlate retinal sensitivities measured with macular integrity assessment microperimetry (MAIA-MP) and Humphrey field analyzer (HFA) 10-2 tests with structural parameters obtained from optical coherence tomography (OCT) in primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) and ocular hypertension.
Methods: This study included 63 participants (22 with POAG, 20 with ocular hypertension, and 21 control individuals). All participants underwent HFA 10-2 and MAIA-MP (macular retinal sensitivity tests) and measurements for optic nerve head (ONH), peripapillary retinal nerve fibre layer thickness (PRNFLT), and ganglion cell inner plexiform layer thickness (GCIPLT) using OCT.

Introduction: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is a novel virus causing an ongoing pandemic in 2020. Although the symptomatic patients infected by SARS-CoV-2 generally show respiratory distress, atypical manifestations such as conjunctivitis are also observed. A series of cases are reported in which reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) testing on tears had demonstrated the presence of the virus.

Design: Retrospective, cross-sectional study.
Participants: 1113 optic nerve stereophotograph pairs of 562 consecutive patients.
Purpose: To show the prognostic value of foveal microstructures using optical coherence tomography (OCT) for the restoration of inner segment/outer segment (IS/OS) junction layer following resolution of diabetic macular edema (DME).
Methods: Forty-one eyes of 39 patients with IS/OS damage at the time of DME that showed complete resolution of DME were included. Eyes were divided into 2 groups based on the IS/OS integrity at final visit, when edema was completely resolved: always damage group (damage at baseline and at final visit) and initial damage group (damage only at baseline).
Purpose: To compare optic nerve head parameters, the thicknesses of the peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (pRNFL), the macular retinal nerve fiber layer (mRNFL), the ganglion cell complex (GCC), and the ganglion cell-inner plexiform layer (GCIPL) in macrodisks and normal-sized healthy disks using spectral domain optical coherence tomography.
Patients And Methods: A total of 88 healthy eyes (42 macrodisks and 46 normal-sized disks) were prospectively enrolled in the study. Optic nerve head parameters as well as pRNFL, mRNFL, GCC, and GCIPL thicknesses were measured in all subjects.
Purpose: To evaluate the relationship between visual outcomes and the determinants detected by spectral domain optical coherence tomography (OCT) in eyes with epiretinal membrane (ERM) and/or taut posterior hyaloid (TPH) that underwent pars plana vitrectomy (PPV).
Materials And Methods: A total of 30 participants with diabetic ERM and TPH were included in the study. All study participants underwent PPV.
Purpose: To evaluate the vision-related quality of life (QoL) of glaucoma patients in terms of the correlation between visual field (VF) loss and National Eye Institute Visual Functioning Questionnaire-39 (NEI VFQ-39) survey.
Materials And Methods: A total of 244 glaucoma patients were examined with monocular Humphrey 24-2 central full threshold and Esterman binocular VF tests. Patients were grouped according to their monocular VFs done by Advanced Glaucoma Intervention Study (AGIS) classification and Esterman binocular VF efficiency scores.
Purpose: To investigate the influence of preoperative antiglaucoma medications on trabeculectomy outcome.
Methods: Two hundred fifteen eyes, which underwent primary trabeculectomy, were retrospectively analyzed. The average follow-up was 39.
