The aim was to elucidate whether goniodysgenesis is more frequently observed in elderly patients with glaucoma, and furthermore, which signs of goniodysgenesis are of importance and most unanimously detected. Thus, 3 examiners evaluated 21 glaucoma patients and 19 non-glaucoma patients in a masked fashion. None of the patients had a first-degree heredity. Gonioscopy, slit-lamp examination and measurements of the corneal and pupillary diameter were performed, in all 26 variables. Significantly (P less than 0.05) more frequent in glaucoma were an increased corneal diameter, scleral overriding, hypoplasia of the pupillary seam, abnormal Schwalbe's line and an opaque pretrabecular membrane (one examiner). Less frequent were a peripupillary yellow pigment ring and pigment stars on the lens. Inter-observer variation was small regarding e.g. corneal diameter but rather large regarding e.g. the pretrabecular membrane.

Glaucoma is the leading cause of irreversible blindness globally. Research indicates a disproportionate impact of glaucoma on racial and ethnic minorities. Existing deep learning models for glaucoma detection might not achieve equitable performance across diverse identity groups.

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.

Objective: This study investigates the incidence and causes of diagnostic changes from primary open angle glaucoma suspect (POAGS) to primary open angle glaucoma (POAG), and vice versa, in clinical practice.
Design: This is a retrospective, single site, case-control study.
Participants: It includes patients over age 40 diagnosed with either POAG or POAGS between 2013-2020.

: This study assessed the efficacy of intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy for treating meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), a key contributor to evaporative dry eye disease (DED), by comparing outcomes in patients with idiopathic MGD versus those with MGD induced by glaucoma medications. : In a retrospective analysis of 45 patients, divided into groups based on glaucoma medication use (20 patients) and non-use (25 patients), all underwent four IPL sessions combined with meibomian gland expression (MGX) at 3-week intervals. Key metrics evaluated included Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) scores, tear breakup time (TBUT), Schirmer I test scores, and meibography scores, pre- and post-treatment.

Background: Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) has become the dominant keratoplasty procedure. However, the impact of high intraocular pressure (IOP) on the DMEK prognosis in patients without preexisting glaucoma remains unknown.
Methods: Non-glaucoma patients who underwent DMEK in Peking University Third Hospital between July 2017 and March 2023 with a follow-up duration longer than six months were included in this cohort study.
