To determine whether frequency-doubling technology (FDT) perimetry detects visual field loss in perimetrically normal eyes of patients with open-angle glaucoma (OAG) and whether these visual field defects subsequently are detected by standard automated perimetry (SAP), and to explore the relating factors of the progression from abnormalities based on FDT to visual field loss based on SAP.

Usefulness of frequency-doubling technology for perimetrically normal eyes of open-angle glaucoma patients with unilateral field loss.

To compare the ciliary body morphology between the Caucasians and Chinese, and to determine the associated anterior segment parameters.

To detect the relationship between infusion pressure and postoperative ganglion cells function.

Effect of infusion pressure during cataract surgery on ganglion cells measured using isolated-check visual evoked potential.

Standard automated perimetry does not sufficiently detect early open-angle glaucoma (OAG) in the clinic. New visual function tests for early glaucoma damage are therefore needed. The present study evaluated whether an isolated-check visual evoked potential (icVEP) could be used to detect visual function abnormalities in early-stage OAG and to explore potential related factors.

Applications of Isolated-Check Visual Evoked Potential in Early Stage of Open-Angle Glaucoma Patients.

To explore the long-term intraocular pressure (IOP)-lowering effect of monocular selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) in the untreated fellow eyes of open-angle glaucoma (OAG) patients. This was a retrospective observational study. Consecutive Chinese OAG patients who received monocular SLT treatment were included in this study. One hundred and eighty degree SLT was conducted as adjunctive treatment when anti-glaucoma medication was not sufficiently effective after clinical evaluation. Treatment success was defined as more than 20% IOP reduction of the baseline IOP levels. IOP-decreasing amplitude and SLT success rate of both eyes were investigated during the 3-year follow-up period. Age, gender, baseline IOP levels, number of medications, and SLT energy parameters were analyzed to determine its influence on IOP reduction effect and treatment success rate. A total of 32 Chinese OAG patients were included in this study and 25 of them completed the 3-year follow-ups. Their pretreatment IOPs were 18.85 ± 2.81 mmHg in the treated eyes and 17.38 ± 2.37 mmHg in the fellow eyes. At the 3-year follow-up visits, IOP decreased to 2.76 ± 3.72 mmHg (14.16%) in the treated eyes and 2.16 ± 2.73 mmHg (11.95%) in the fellow eyes, with a success rate of 47.83% (11 in 23 cases) and 44.00% (11 in 25 cases), respectively. IOPs of both eyes decreased significantly after SLT from 6 months and lasted to 3 years after treatment. Baseline IOP level was positively correlated with IOP reduction in the treated eyes and other factors were not correlated with IOP reduction and treatment success. Monocular SLT treatment as adjunctive treatment could lower IOPs not only in the treated eyes but also in the untreated eyes in poor medication-controlled OAG patients. In addition, its IOP reduction effect could last to 3 years after treatment in clinical practice.
