News Flashes
★ Lower parapapillary choroidal vessel density (VD) with B-zone parapapillary atrophy (PPA) at baseline is associated with future visual field progression
★ Isometric training with heavy loads (triggering Valsalva) is associated with IOP increase
★ Corneal deflection amplitude is an interesting corneal behavior that may be related to glaucoma progression
★ Bleb grading systems are fraught with error by nature of their subjectivity
★ Examining features of imaging, other than thickness, e.g., texture or voxel intensity, may provide additional value for glaucoma detection and monitoring
★ Prior to the landmark Zhongshan Angle Closure Prevention (ZAP) trial, the benefit of treating PACS eyes with LPI was unclear
★ The LiGHT trial supports the use of a second SLT when an initial SLT is not enough to reach the target IOP or when the IOP further goes up
★ GRS-based genetic risk estimates may aid in early disease detection, thereby allowing for timely initiation of preventive treatment and management strategies
★ One can now safely say MYOC is no longer only a gene associated with only high IOP
★ Differing patient characteristics may have directed the surgeon toward insertion of the tube into the AC or PP, and this is a potential source of selection bias
★ In-vivo ONH strains are thus more representative of what ONH cells directly experience
★ Moving forward, it is becoming clearer that glaucoma subjects would benefit from a clinical test to assess the robustness of their ONHs
