Glaucoma Screening and Referral Risk Factors in a High-Risk Population: Follow-up Study of the Manhattan Vision Screening Study (NYC-SIGHT).
J Glaucoma
November 2024
Columbia University, Department of Ophthalmology, Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons, 630 W. 168th Street, New York, NY 10032.
Prcis: Community-based eye health screenings that incorporated fundus photography and optometric exams in a high-risk NYC population effectively identified a higher than average number of participants that required an in-office glaucoma evaluation.
Purpose: To report glaucoma screening rates and risk factors associated with referral for in-office glaucoma evaluation in the Manhattan Vision Screening and Follow-up Study (NYC-SIGHT).
Methods: In this 5-year, cluster-randomized clinical trial, eligible individuals aged 40 and older were recruited from affordable housing developments and senior centers.
Hospital to community in Wales: What is the value of optometrists playing a greater role in managing neovascular AMD and glaucoma in primary care?
Ophthalmic Physiol Opt
January 2025
Division of Population Medicine, PRIME Centre Wales PRIME, Cardiff University School of Medicine, Cardiff, UK.
Purpose: To evaluate the value of enhanced optometric services for managing neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) and glaucoma in primary care optometry services, instead of hospital eye services (HES).
Methods: Seven enhanced optometric service pathways in primary care in Wales were assessed with a mixed-methods approach: three for nAMD and four for glaucoma. The methods were a patient-related experience measure (PREM), a Realist Review and Evaluation involving both patients and staff, a discrete event simulation model estimating the economic impact of the pathways and a workforce survey of optometrists to gauge capability and capacity.
Reference Database for a Novel Binocular Visual Function Perimeter: A Randomized Clinical Trial.
Ophthalmol Sci
July 2024
Viterbi Family Department of Ophthalmology, Hamilton Glaucoma Center, Shiley Eye Institute, San Diego, California.
Purpose: To construct a comprehensive reference database (RDB) for a novel binocular automated perimeter.
Design: A four-site prospective randomized clinical trial.
Subjects And Controls: Three hundred fifty-six healthy subjects without ocular conditions that might affect visual function were categorized into 7 age groups.
Retinal Ganglion Cell Content Underlying Standard Automated Perimetry Size I to V Visual Sensitivities in the Non-Human Primate Experimental Glaucoma Model.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how visual sensitivities to different sizes of white-on-white stimuli relate to the number of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) in a non-human primate model of glaucoma.
- Researchers induced glaucoma in seven primates, monitoring changes with advanced imaging techniques, and correlated RGC counts with visual sensitivity data collected from various retinal locations.
- Findings suggest a connection between visual thresholds and RGC density, offering a model to estimate RGC content based on standard visual tests, with implications for understanding glaucoma effects on vision.
Raman spectroscopic analysis of human blood serum of glaucoma patients supplemented with macular pigment carotenoids.
J Biophotonics
August 2024
FOCAS Research Institute, Technological University Dublin, Dublin, Ireland.
As all major dietary carotenoids are contained in blood, it is a suitable substrate to evaluate their content, in vivo. Following 18-month supplementation of open-angle glaucoma patients with macula-pigment carotenoids (Lutein, Zeaxanthin and Meso-Zeaxanthin) in the European Nutrition in Glaucoma Management trial, Raman spectroscopic analysis of the carotenoid content of pre- and post-supplementation participant blood serum was carried out, to investigate the systemic impact of the supplementation regimen and explore a more direct way of quantifying this impact using routine blood tests. Using a 532 nm laser source for optimal response, a consistent increase in serum carotenoid concentration was observed in the supplemented serum, highest in patients with initial high baseline carotenoid content.
