Progression of retinitis pigmentosa

2 December 2019 | | Retina / Uvea / Vitreous | fundus autofluorescence, microperimetry, multimodal imaging, disease progression, optical coherence tomography

This retrospective study evaluates the rate of progression of retinitis pigmentosa (RP) using multimodal imaging, including spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT), fundus autofluorescence (FAF) and microperimtery (MP). Traditional tests used to evaluate RP, for example, Goldmann visual fields and ERG...

Effect of refractive corneal surgery on IOP and glaucoma progression

1 December 2018 | | Glaucoma | Refractive corneal surgery, glaucoma progression, intraocular pressure

Accuracy of intraocular pressure (IOP) measurement depends on the biomechanical properties of the cornea, including its thickness central corneal thickness (CCT) and keratometry (K). Fifty-six eyes of 56 patients with primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) who had a history of...

Reducing myopia progression

1 April 2018 | | Paediatric Ophthalmology / Strabismus | atropine, bifocal spectacles, myopia, orthokeratology, progression, progressive additional lens spectacles, soft bifocal contact lenses

This paper reports a literature review to discuss the environmental considerations and treatment options that can prevent the progression of myopia, including time spent outdoors, reduction of near vision activities, spectacle types, contact lens type and pharmacological treatment. The review...

Importance of visual fields for detection of progression in glaucoma

1 October 2017 | | Glaucoma | EMGT, glaucoma stage, open-angle glaucoma, optic disc, progression, visual field

Early detection of progression of glaucoma, and escalating treatment is vital to maintain vision in patients. In this paper from the Early Manifest Glaucoma Trial (EMGT) group they compared the earliest detection of progression in visual fields and monoscopic optic...
