Stem Cells in Glaucoma Management
Glaucoma is the leading cause of preventable blindness worldwide. Despite tremendous advances in medical and surgical management of glaucoma in the recent years, the prevalence of glaucoma related blindness is anticipated to increase in the future decades because of the aging population. Stem cells have the potential to change the glaucoma management in several ways. There are several areas of ...
متن کامل[Clinical correlation between structural and functional assessment in glaucoma: Armaly cup to disk ratio and Brusini glaucoma staging system].
PURPOSE To evaluate the correlation between Armaly's structural systems with Brusini's functional staging in glaucomatous patients. METHODS Seventy-eight eyes of forty-two patients with primary open-angle glaucoma underwent visual field testing with the Humphrey Field Analyzer II (program SITA 24-2) and optic disc evaluation with the 78D Volk lens by two independent observers. Optic disc was ...
متن کاملOptic Disc and Optic Cup Segmentation for Glaucoma Detection
Glaucoma is an eye disease that leads to vision loss. The symptoms of the glaucoma occurs when disease is quite advance. Glaucoma is called ‘silent thief of sight’ so, that early detection of glaucoma is very essential. In existing approach three methods are used to detect glaucoma namely Assessment of raised intraocular pressure (IOP).Assessment of abnormal visual field. Assessment of damaged ...
متن کاملAssessment of Structural Glaucoma Progression
PURPOSE To provide an update on the role of optic nerve head and peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer imaging in monitoring glaucoma progression. METHODS Review of literature. RESULTS Imaging technologies, such as optical coherence tomography, scanning laser polarimetry, and confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscopy, objectively and quantitatively measure the structural change associated wi...
متن کاملA New Glaucoma Severity Score Combining Structural and Functional Defects.
Background In order to assess glaucoma severity and to compare the success of surgical and medical therapy and study outcomes, an objective and independent staging tool is necessary. A combination of information from both structural and functional testing is probably the best approach to stage glaucomatous damage. There has been no universally accepted standard for glaucoma staging. The aim of ...
متن کاملGait parameters, functional mobility and fall risk in individuals with early to moderate primary open angle glaucoma: a cross-sectional study.
OBJECTIVE This study investigated the influence of early to moderate primary open angle glaucoma on gait, functional mobility and fall risk. METHODS Thirty-three participants in the early and moderate stages of primary open angle glaucoma and 34 asymptomatic controls participated in the study. Spatiotemporal gait data were obtained with the GAITRite system and included: velocity, cadence, ste...
