Purpose: To determine whether 24-h IOP monitoring can be a predictor for glaucoma progression and to analyze the inter-eye relationship of IOP, perfusion, and progression parameters.
Methods: We extracted data from manually drawn IOP curves with HIOP-Reader, a software suite we developed. The relationship between measured IOPs and mean ocular perfusion pressures (MOPP) to retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness was analyzed. We determined the ROC curves for peak IOP (T), average IOP(T), IOP variation (IOP), and historical IOP cut-off levels to detect glaucoma progression (rate of RNFL loss). Bivariate analysis was also conducted to check for various inter-eye relationships.
Results: Two hundred seventeen eyes were included. The average IOP was 14.8 ± 3.5 mmHg, with a 24-h variation of 5.2 ± 2.9 mmHg. A total of 52% of eyes with RNFL progression data showed disease progression. There was no significant difference in T, T, and IOP between progressors and non-progressors (all p > 0.05). Except for T and the temporal RNFL, there was no correlation between disease progression in any quadrant and T, T, and IOP. Twenty-four-hour and outpatient IOP variables had poor sensitivities and specificities in detecting disease progression. The correlation of inter-eye parameters was moderate; correlation with disease progression was weak.
Conclusion: In line with our previous study, IOP data obtained during a single visit (outpatient or inpatient monitoring) make for a poor diagnostic tool, no matter the method deployed. Glaucoma progression and perfusion pressure in left and right eyes correlated weakly to moderately with each other.

Glaucoma is a pathologically irreversible eye illness in the realm of ophthalmic diseases. Because it is difficult to detect concealed and non-obvious progressive changes, clinical diagnosis and treatment of glaucoma is extremely challenging. At the same time, screening and monitoring for glaucoma disease progression are crucial.

Introduction: In diabetics, glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists (RA) may protect against microvascular alterations and oxidative stress, both of which have been implicated in glaucoma. Multiple studies suggest a possible relation between GLP-1 RA use and the development of glaucoma. This study performs a systematic review of the literature regarding the incidence of glaucoma development in type 2 diabetes patients treated with GLP-1 receptor agonists compared to a control group.

Objective: Study of neuroimaging changes according to MRI morphometry and their comparison with the structure and severity of cognitive impairment (CI) in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG).
Material And Methods: The study involved 90 patients who were divided into two equal groups of 45 people and who early had diagnosis of AD (group 1; median age - 71 [66; 77] years) and POAG (group 2; median age - 68 [64; 77] years). 71] years).

Purpose: To investigate the relationship between the characteristics of optic disc rotation and visual field (VF) progression in patients with myopic open-angle glaucoma (OAG).
Methods: We included 53 eyes from 53 myopic OAG patients who were followed-up over a 3-year period. The characteristics of optic disc rotation including the degree of optic disc rotation, direction of optic disc rotation, and optic disc rotation-VF defect correspondence were investigated.

This study assessed the impact of race and ethnicity on longitudinal test variability and time to detect glaucoma progression using standard automated perimetry (SAP) and optical coherence tomography (OCT). The sample consisted of 47,003 SAP tests from 5402 eyes and 25,480 OCT tests from 4125 eyes, with 20% of participants self-identifying as Black or African American and 80% as White; 29% as Hispanic or Latino and 71% as Not Hispanic or Latino. Variability was measured using standard deviations of residuals from linear regression models for SAP mean deviation (MD) and OCT retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness over time.
