Objectives To explore the acceptability of home visual field (VF) testing using Eyecatcher among people with glaucoma participating in a 6-month monitoring pilot study. Design Qualitative study face-to-face semistructured interviews. Transcripts were analysed thematic analysis. Setting Participants recruited UK through an advertisement International Glaucoma Association (now UK) newsletter. Twe...

glaucoma is the second leading cause of irreversible blindness and a neurodegenerative disease with a complex pathogenesis. increasing evidence suggests that oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction have crucial roles in most neurodegenerative diseases such as glaucoma. the conventional clinical treatment for glaucoma is lowering the intraocular pressure (iop). some patients have normal i...

OBJECTIVE: To determine the changes in glaucoma prescriptions during a single visit real-world situation at Al-Shifa Trust Eye Hospital, Rawalpindi, Pakistan. METHODS: This cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted Glaucoma Department of Pakistan from September 1st, 2015 to February 29th, 2016 after ethical approval. Of total 876 consecutive participants, 868 were included study. Complete...

purpose: to evaluate the outcomes of cataract extraction by phacoemulsification and posterior chamber intraocular lens (pciol) implantation in patients with chronic angle closure glaucoma (cacg). methods: consecutive cacg patients with co-existing visually significant cataracts were included in this noncomparative interventional case series. after obtaining informed consent, clear cornea phaco-...

Purpose : to summarize the experience of development and application artificial neural networks (ANW) in early diagnosis primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG). Material methods . A total 690 patients (918 eyes) were tested. The training clinical group consisted 459 examples (459 eyes), which 369 eyes had an initial stage POAG 90 no glaucoma. testing was represented by 131 (131 110 belonged with 21...

Glaucoma is a disease that affects the optic nerve. This disease, over period of time, can lead to loss vision. Which known as ‘silent thief sight’. There are several methods in which be treated, if detected at an early stage It not possible for any technology, including artificial intelligence, replace doctor. However, it develop model based on classical image processing algorithms, combined w...

BACKGROUND Glaucoma is an important cause of blindness. OBJECTIVE To report the distribution of various types of glaucoma among patients presenting to a tertiary eye hospital in Nepal. MATERIALS AND METHODS All new patients visiting the hospital between March 2007 and February 2008 underwent a comprehensive eye examination. Whenever glaucoma was suspected, patients were referred to fellowsh...

Inherited missense mutations in the myocilin olfactomedin domain are causative for early-onset glaucoma, via a toxic gain of function. We have elaborated atomic-level details misfolding relevant to glaucoma pathogenesis. Pathogenic olfactomedin-resident mutations, which account 90% all documented disease variants, destabilized and undergo templated amyloid-like aggregation under mild physiologi...

purpose : to compare the intraocular pressure (iop) lowering effect and side effects of xalatan with generic latanoprost (xalabiost) in adults with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension methods : this was a two-center prospective randomized, crossover clinical trial. eligible patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension were sequentially randomized to two parallel study groups ...

Introduction: Cataracts and Glaucoma are the leading causes of irreversible blindness worldwide. Lens extraction using Phacoemulsification technique can be an effective IOP-lowering treatment for all types glaucoma.
 Objective: To study was to measure Intra-Ocular Pressure before after phacoemulsification determine mean change in Pressure.
 Methodology: This included 53 glaucoma patie...
