Prediction of 10-2 Visual Field Loss Using Optical Coherence Tomography and 24-2 Visual Field Data
Conclusions:
In this study, the presence/absence of 10-2 glaucomatous VF loss was highly predictable using standard functional and structural clinical metrics. These findings suggest that 10-2 VF testing is not needed to reliably recognize and confirm central VF involvement in most eyes with glaucoma. Whether error related to identifying second hemisphere involvement in 10-2 VF loss is important requires further study. (Source: Journal of Glaucoma)

Agreement Between 10-2 and 24-2C Visual Field Test Protocols for Detecting Glaucomatous Central Visual Field Defects
Precis:
Moderate to substantial agreement between 10-2 and 24-2C perimetry for detecting central field defects suggests that adding central test points to the 24-2 protocol may improve efficiency of visual field (VF) testing for glaucoma management.
Purpose:
The purpose of this study was to assess agreement between Humphrey Visual Field Analyzer 10-2 and 24-2C test protocols for detecting glaucomatous defects in the central 10 degrees of the visual field (CVFDs).
Materials and Methods:
VFs from 165 eyes of 18 healthy individuals, 12 glaucoma suspects and 62 glaucoma patients who completed 10-2 and 24-2C V...

Kahook Dual Blade Ab-interno Trabeculectomy Compared With Conventional Goniotomy in the Treatment of Primary Congenital Glaucoma: 1-Year Results
Conclusion:
One-year results show that KDB ab-interno trabeculectomy is at least as effective as goniotomy in the treatment of PCG. Eyes with bilateral glaucoma had a tendency to fail both procedures. (Source: Journal of Glaucoma)

Ocular Hypotension and Epiretinal Membrane as Risk Factors for Visual Deterioration Following Glaucoma Filtering Surgery
Precis:
Postsurgical hypotension at 1 week and the presence of an epiretinal membrane (ERM) were significant risk factors for the deterioration of postsurgical visual acuity (VA) at 3 and 12 months, respectively.
Purpose:
The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of an ERM and postsurgical hypotension (Source: Journal of Glaucoma)

Need for Additional Glaucoma Surgery and Complications Following Glaucoma Drainage Device Surgery
Conclusion:
Glaucoma type did not significantly affect post-GDD cumulative rates of reoperation, corneal graft, and VT-complication among the OAG, PXE, and NVG groups. For all eyes, cumulative rates of reoperation, corneal graft, and VT-complications increased beyond 5 years. The Ahmed FP7 had a significantly higher cumulative reoperation rate compared with the Baerveldt 350 over time. (Source: Journal of Glaucoma)
