Objective: To understand the risk factors of primary angle-closure glaucoma.

Methods: One to one matched case-control study was conducted in this study. One hundred and ninety two PACG cases and 192 controls, matched by age and gender, were collected from Department of Ophthalmology, Affiliated Hospital of Nantong University. All of the participants were investigated for their demographic information, behavioral habits, disease history, glaucoma family history and received clinical ocular examinations. The difference between these two groups was analyzed.

Results: Several factors, including hypertension (OR = 2.004, P = 0.009), glaucoma family history (OR = 6.726, P = 0.003), presbyopia (OR = 3.192, P = 0.031), shallow anterior chamber (OR = 12.804, P = 0.000) and high cup-to-disc ratio (OR = 9.401, P = 0.007) were associated with PACG by multiply Logistic regression. The results did not support that smoking, drinking, myopia, diabetes mellitus and blood style were related to PACG.

Conclusion: Follow up the populations with glaucoma family history, shallow anterior chamber or high cup-to-disc ratio are the main procedures for the decrease of incidence of PACG.

Purpose: This study evaluates the effect of 6° horizontal gaze tolerance on visual field mean sensitivity (MS) in patients with glaucoma using a binocular head-mounted automated perimeter, following findings of structural changes in the posterior globe from magnetic resonance imaging and optical coherence tomography.

Methods: In this cross-sectional study, a total of 161 eyes (85 primary open-angle glaucoma [POAG] and 76 healthy) from 117 participants were included. Logistic regression and 1:1 matched analysis assessed the propensity score for glaucoma and healthy eyes, considering age, sex, and axial length as confounders.

Longitudinal Changes of Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer and Ganglion Cell-Inner Plexiform Layer in Highly Myopic Glaucoma: A 3-year Cohort Study.

Ophthalmology

January 2025

State Key Laboratory of Ophthalmology, Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center, Sun Yat-sen University, Guangdong Provincial Key Laboratory of Ophthalmology and Visual Science, Guangdong Provincial Clinical Research Center for Ocular Diseases, Guangzhou 510623, China. Electronic address:

Purpose: To describe the longitudinal changes in peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (pRNFL) and macular ganglion cell-inner plexiform layer (mGC-IPL) thicknesses in highly myopic eyes with and without glaucoma, and to investigate the effects of high myopia (HM) on the sectoral patterns of pRNFL and mGC-IPL thinning.

Design: Longitudinal cohort study.

Participants: A total of 243 eyes from 243 individuals with 3-year follow-up were included in this study: 109 eyes in the HM group, 64 eyes in the open-angle glaucoma (OAG) group and 70 eyes in the highly myopic glaucoma (HMG) group.
