Analysis of Clinical Profiles of Chinese Patients With Normal Tension Glaucoma

Glaucoma

To obtain demographic and baseline ophthalmic parameters (such as Intraocular Pressure profiles, disc morphological characteristics, central corneal thickness, peripapillary retinal nerve fibre layer thickness and its serial changes, visual field changes, severity of any medical associations-e.g. hypertension, migraine, strokes, silent cerebral infarcts) with non-invasive measurements, in Chinese Patients with Normal Tension Glaucoma

Prevalence of Ocular Surface Disease in Malaysian Glaucoma Patients

Primary Open-angle GlaucomaPrimary Angle-Closure Glaucoma3 more

This is a prospective, multi-centre, cross sectional observational study to determine the prevalence of ocular surface disease (OSD) in glaucoma patients, nationwide. The study also analyses sub group of OSD prevalence, stratified according to the treatment types (i.e. preserved, preservative-free, and combination of preservative-free and preserved eyedrops), and illustrates the patient perspective on OSD.

Study the Signs of Ocular Degeneration in a Population Cohort (Dijon 3C Montrachet Cohort)

AMDGlaucoma

The aim of the study proposed in Dijon is above all to focus on the possible relationship between age-related ocular pathologies (AMD and glaucoma) and et les degenerative neurological and cardiac pathologies. The principal objective is to seek in subjects who have undergone cerebral MRI and echocardiography, associations between the thickness of postganglionic fibers measured by Optical Coherence Tomography at the 7th year (n=1500) and signs of cerebral impairment (psycho-cognitive tests, circulation time, MRI signs). This association will be studied after taking into account the principal environmental (particularly dietary) and genetic risk factors.

The Effect of Body Posture on Intraocular Pressure in Progressive Glaucoma

Glaucoma

Glaucoma is a condition where the optic nerve (the nerve responsible for sight) shows progressive damage with characteristic loss of visual field. Glaucoma is very commonly associated with raised pressure in the eye (intraocular pressure [IOP]). IOP has been shown to increase when lying down in normal subjects as well as patients with glaucoma. It is possible that this effect can make glaucoma worse. This study is designed to investigate the effect of body posture (particularly when sleeping) on the IOP fluctuation in the eye. Each patient will be required to attend for 2 separate 24 hour visits. On one visit the patient will be required to sleep flat and on the other visit at a 30° head up sleeping position. During this time the patient will be required to wear a soft contact lens (SENSIMED Triggerfish®) which has a special sensor on it that monitors the IOP continuously. The IOP measurements are wirelessly transmitted to a recorder.

Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Thickness Analysis With Cirrus HD OCT Versus Stratus Optical Coherence...

Glaucoma

The Cirrus HD OCT, a new spectral domain optical coherence tomography (OCT), has better resolution than the previous time domain Stratus OCT. Discriminating ability of these two OCTs for diagnosis of glaucoma and judgement of disease progression will be studied.

Is Recombinant Growth Hormone Therapy Associated With Increased Intraoccular Pressure?

Growth Hormone TreatmentGlaucoma

Recombinant growth hormone is a common therapy in the pediatric population. A number of associated side effects have been described. Several years ago, a case report was published concerning a child that was treated with RGH and developed acute glaucoma. To date no study has evaluated the connection.

Diagnostic Innovations in Glaucoma Study

Primary Open Angle GlaucomaMyopia

The overarching goal of our research study is to evaluate changes in visual function and optic nerve topography (the structure of the back of the eye) in patients with glaucoma (increased susceptibility to pressure inside the eye that can cause loss of vision) or those with an increased risk of developing the disease. The purpose of this study is to determine the best methods for detecting the presence or progression (worsening over time) of glaucoma in patients with and without myopia and its effects on daily and visual function and quality of life. With several sources of NIH and foundation funding over the last twenty years we have designed a robust research protocol to address the most challenging aspects of glaucoma management. The most recent focus of this research is 1) to improve our ability to detect open angle glaucoma in individuals with myopia and in individuals of European and African descent, 2) to determine whether monitoring of the retinal vasculature with new optical imaging instruments can improve glaucoma management and elucidate the pathophysiology of the disease, and 3) to differentiate between age-related changes and glaucomatous progression. The grants supporting this project include 3 NIH funded studies, 1) the University of California, San Diego UCSD -based "Diagnostic Innovations in Glaucoma Study" (DIGS funded since 1995): 2) the "African Descent and Glaucoma Evaluation Study" (ADAGES funded since 2002), 3) the Brightfocus Foundation National Glaucoma Research Program and 4) the UCSD-based "Diagnosis and Monitoring of Glaucoma with Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography" (funded since 2018). The ADAGES is a multi-center study with data collection also conducted at 2 other academic sites, the University of Alabama at Birmingham, and Columbia University. Enrolled healthy participants, glaucoma suspects and glaucoma patients are generally asked to return for two or more visits a year for several years. We then analyze whether the glaucoma patients are progressing and what factors influence their glaucoma status compared to healthy subjects and individuals suspected of having glaucoma.

Vitreopapillary Interface and Optic Disc Morphology

Posterior Vitreous DetachmentVitreomacular Traction2 more

The vitreous fills the posterior chamber of the eye and is firmly attached, at the posterior pole, to the macula and the optic nerve head (ONH). With formation of a stepwise posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) exerted tractional forces could influence retinal functioning. Especially in patients with glaucoma the influence of vitreous traction to the ONH could mask progression, interfere with current imaging techniques and even be a cause of ONH hemorrhages. Therefore the aim of this study is to investigate whether vitreopapillary traction has a significant effect on diagnosis and follow up of glaucoma patients.
