News Flashes IGR 5-2

The incidence of IOP > 21 mmHg was 13% after four years, > 24 mmHg: 5.8%, >28 mmHg: 1.5%

In a screening study one out of seven screened persons with glaucoma had advanced defects

The thickness of the RNFL is predominantly determined by genetic factors

37.5% of unaffected hemifields were abnormal on mfVEP

Longitudinal increase of IOP was associated with age, blood pressure and diabetes

VFD in POAG and PACG are different

In pigment dispersion syndrome the five-year risk of converting was 10%, the 15-year risk 15%

A 40% successrate of viscocanalostomy was reported

Physiologic and anatomic changes of uveoscleral outflow with age correlate nicely

Mueller cells may provide direct neurotrophic support for the retinal environment during times of activity

Neckties may raise IOP

Substances targeting the adenosine system might be useful for glaucoma treatment

It is proposed that altered hemodynamics may predict progression

OCT showed no abnormalities in unaffected hemifields

The incidence of conversion from pseudoexfoliation syndrome to glaucoma varies widely among different populations

UBM ciliary body thickness is reduced after latanoprost treatment

A seton was developed to direct aqueous from the AC to the suprachoroidal space

Miniature horses have an IOP of 26 and a CCT of 786 mmHg

Surgical reduction of IOP reduces the frequency of disk hemorrhages in NTG (AOGS)

An association between glaucoma and death is not apparent in a longitudinal study

We badly need objective evaluation of progression

In contrast to earlier reports retinal vascular diameter was not predictive of progression
