Top-Four from the Fifth Polish Glaucoma Symposium

April 20-22, 2006, Wroclaw, Poland

Maria Hanna Nizankowska

The Fifth Polish Glaucoma Symposium was organized by the Glaucoma Section of the Polish Ophthalmological Society, in collaboration with the Department of Ophthalmology of the Wroclaw Medical University.

• A new software-based compensation method, Enhanced Corneal Compensation Algorithm (ECC) used on GDx-VCC instruments, which significantly reduces atypical polarisation pattern and Motion Detection Perimetry (Moorfields MDT), could be useful for early detection of the anatomical and functional changes in glaucoma neuropathy.
• Color Doppler Imaging suggests that decreased ocular perfusion is partly responsible for the retinal ganglion apoptosis seen in POAG. The levels of perfusion pressure leading to optic nerve hypoxia in the laboratory, correspond to the levels increasing the risk of glaucomatous optic nerve atrophy in human glaucoma patients.
• The scleral flaps shape and suture placement have a role in reduction of a number of thin-walled, avascular cystic blebs. Morphological assessment of filtering blebs following trabeculectomy using the HRT II Cornea Module and the Würzburg Bleb Classification Score is a useful method in postoperative management
• Focus on individualized care for those patients with glaucoma with crucial problems affecting their quality of life, such as risk of non-compliance to glaucoma therapy, lack of IOP control due to poor adherence.
