Purpose: To compare the glaucomatous optic nerve damage in primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG) with acute attack (acute PACG; AACG) and PACG without acute attack (chronic PACG; CACG).
Methods: The study subjects were 84 normal individuals, 130 AACG patients, and 86 CACG patients. Color optic disc photographs were evaluated for the presence or absence of 10 qualitative signs to differentiate between normal and glaucomatous optic discs.
Results: Abnormally shaped rim width (alteration of ISN'T rule), bared circumlinear vessel, vessel bayonetting, rim width narrower than the temporal sector, and zone beta (nasal and superotemporal sectors) were detected more frequently in the CACG group than in the AACG group (P<0.05). The most accurate qualitative sign was abnormally shaped rim width in both groups. The specificity and sensitivity of abnormally shaped rim width were 71.4% and 60.8% for AACG, and 71.4% and 81.4% for CACG, respectively.
Conclusions: The optic disc damage is greater in CACG than in AACG.

Treatment of pseudophakic aqueous misdirection syndrome.
Sci Rep

Department of Ophthalmology, Inselspital, Bern University Hospital, University of Bern, Freiburgstrasse, 3010, Bern, Switzerland.
To describe the management and clinical course of 12 cases of pseudophakic aqueous misdirection syndrome (AMS). Twelve eyes of 12 Patients diagnosed with pseudophakic AMS between 2021 and 2022 were included. Best-corrected visual acuity, refraction, intraocular pressure (IOP), anti-glaucomatous medication, spectral domain ocular coherence tomography (SD-OCT) and postoperative complications were evaluated.

Human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-based disease modeling can be successfully recapitulated to mimic disease characteristics across various human pathologies. Glaucoma, a progressive optic neuropathy, primarily affects the retinal ganglion cells (RGCs). While multiple groups have successfully generated RGCs from non-diseased hiPSCs, producing RGCs from glaucomatous human samples holds significant promise for understanding disease pathology by revealing patient-specific disease signatures.

Objectives: Femtosecond laser image guided high precision trabeculotomy (FLigHT) is a novel open-angle glaucoma treatment. The procedure non-invasively creates aqueous humor (AH) drainage channel from the anterior chamber (AC) to Schlemm's canal (SC) through the trabecular meshwork (TM) to decrease intraocular pressure (IOP). The purpose of this study was to develop a 3D finite element model (FEM) of the FLigHT procedure and to simulate clinical results for different drainage channel cross-sectional areas.

Objective: To explore the impact of glaucoma on the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) optical density ratio (ODR) by volumetric optical coherence tomography (OCT) under different analytical radii.
Methods: Twenty-five eyes identified as healthy and 57 eyes with a glaucoma diagnosis (23 mild and 34 moderate-advanced cases) underwent volumetric OCT scans centered at the optic nerve head. Cross-sectional images were obtained through 5 distinct analytical circles with varying radii.
Evaluating the Influence of Clinical Data on Inter-Observer Variability in Optic Disc Analysis for AI-Assisted Glaucoma Screening.

December 2024
Department of Ophthalmology, Cliniques Universitaires Saint Luc, UCL, Brussels, Belgium.
Purpose: This study aims to evaluate the inter-observer variability in assessing the optic disc in fundus photographs and its implications for establishing ground truth in AI research.
Methods: Seventy subjects were screened during a screening campaign. Fundus photographs were classified into normal (NL) or abnormal (GS: glaucoma and glaucoma suspects) by two masked glaucoma specialists.
