News Flashes IGR 5-3

Normotensive mice will have lost 50% of their ganglion cells by 18 months of age

Optineurin was found in only 1% of patients with non-familiar NTG

IOP measurement using Dynamic Contour Tonometry proved unaffected by changes in CCT after LASIK

SITA-SWAP reduces examination time and inter-subject variance and increases the dynamic range

37.5% of unaffected hemifields were abnormal on mfVEP

Some HRT parameters show a much lower variability ratio than visual function indices

MFVEP is unable to follow progression beyond a SAP defect of -6 to -10 dB; for following up progression defects of less than -6 dB, MFVEP may be more sensitive than SAP

Sleep apnea may not be associated with glaucoma

Senile sclerotic glaucoma showed a slower rate of progression than other subtypes of glaucoma

The width of the anterior chamber angle was significantly inversely associated with IOP

NPFS has a higher success rate in exfoliative glaucoma

The success rates of trabeculectomy and Ahmed glaucoma valves were comparable

NPG patients with vaso-occlusive traits or genetic susceptibility to vaso-occlusive disease may not have the same benefit from IOP reduction as other NPG patients

Different progression programs yield quite different progression results

Changes in HRT parameters over time need confirmation

AAV-BDNF is neuroprotective in animal experiments

Target pressures are mentioned in half the charts of general ophthalmologists

Latanoprost upregulates MMPs and TIMP2

Goniopuncture after NPFS may not be entirely problem-free (iris prolapse)

Glaucoma implants showed much better results than MMC trabeculectomies in childhood glaucoma
