Glaucoma awareness
… thesis investigates three different aspects of glaucoma awareness using both quantitative and qualitative methods. Patient Awareness: This qualitative study looked at patients perceptions of glaucoma. Participants (N=28) reported low levels of awareness of glaucoma prior to their diagnosis and …

Bioenergetic neuroprotection in experimental glaucoma
Glaucoma refers to a group of ocular conditions united by a clinically characteristic intraocular pressure optic neuropathy and associated degeneration of the retinal ganglion cells (RGCs). It is a leading cause of blindness worldwide. Although the pathogenesis of the most common variant, primary …

Glaucoma: neuroprotección basada en lentes intraoculares
… de neuroprotección para la patología del glaucoma basada en la luz y en lentes intraoculares. Se empieza analizando una situación en la que la lensectomía precoz asistida por láser de femtosegundo debería aportar, en principio, ventajas en términos de enfermedad glaucomatosa: la cámara …

Improving measurements in perimetry for glaucoma
Glaucoma is a leading cause of visual impairment and, if untreated, irreversible blindness. Perimetry is the clinical tool for assessing the functional ‘seeing’ part of the field of view (visual field) and is widely used in the detection and clinical monitoring of glaucoma. These measurements rely …

Multipronged Approach to Study Glaucoma-Associated Phenotypes
<p> Glaucoma refers to a group of conditions characterized by death of RGCs, increase in intraocular pressure is usually a precursor to glaucoma and irreversible optic neuropathy leads to visual impairment and blindness. Recent advances have seen a surge of new ideas and technologies to aid in the …

Machine Learning Algorithms for Improved Glaucoma Diagnosis
Primary open angle glaucoma, one of the leading causes of blindness in the world, constitutes a slow progressing condition characterized by damage to the optic nerve and retinal nerve fibre layer, and results in visual field defects afflicting the visual function. Highly specific and sensitive …

Longitudinal Evaluation of Retinal Capillaries in Experimental Glaucoma
Purpose: Glaucoma is a leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide. The loss of radial peripapillary capillaries (RPCs) has been hypothesized to play a role in retinal ganglion cell axon degeneration in glaucoma. Previous histological work has shown that structural alterations and losses of …

Evaluating The Estimation of Neuronal Loss in Glaucoma
… widely used in the diagnosis and monitoring of glaucoma and other optic neuropathies. With spectral domain OCT (SD OCT), cross-sectional images of the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL), optic nerve head (ONH) and the macula can be acquired at high resolutions and quantified with excellent …

Knowledge Mining In The Clinical Assessment Of Glaucoma
Glaucoma is a leading cause of irreversible blindness and visual impairment. In the clinic, glaucomatous damage can be characterized by structural changes in the optic nerve head (ONH) and retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL) that can be evaluated by various retinal-imaging techniques such as scanning …

Modulation of Inflammation Driven Wound Healing after Glaucoma Surgery
… ocular function and healthy vision are reliant. Glaucoma filtration surgery, corneal stromal injury, proliferative vitreoretinopathy and age-related macular degeneration are major contributors to ocular morbidity – all with myofibroblast transdifferentiation and pathognomonic scarring activity at …

Studies on real world visual field data in glaucoma
Glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness. As a progressive condition, it is important to monitor how the visual field (VF) changes over time with perimetry in preventing vision from deteriorating to a stage where quality of life is affected. However, there is little evidence of how clinical …

Reclaiming the periphery: Kinetic perimetry in patients with glaucoma
… 30˚ is the most often used visual field test in glaucoma patients. Short test durations are achieved by focusing on a central region, which constitutes ~20% of the visual field. However, ignoring the periphery may sacrifice information on how patients are affected functionally. Peripheral vision …

Optic Nerve Head Image Analysis for Glaucoma Progression Detection
Glaucoma is a leading cause of visual disability across the world and when diagnosed the glaucoma patient will spend the rest of their life receiving treatment in managed clinical care. In the glaucoma clinic, retinal and optic nerve head (ONH) imaging can be used to help the clinician to manage …

En face OCT imaging for the assessment of glaucoma
Glaucoma is a leading cause of irreversible vision loss globally, and demands early and accurate diagnosis. OCT has become a key investigative technique in glaucoma, and, although it provides invaluable clinical support, detection of early glaucoma remains imperfect. Recent OCT developments enabled …

Smart Ocular Implant for Monitoring IOP in Glaucoma Patients
Glaucoma is often called the ’thief of sight’ or the ’silent blinding eye disease’. As the world’s second most blinding eye disease and the number one irreversible eye disease, numerous studies have shown that pathological IOP is a significant risk factor. A single clinical examination of vision …

Image Processing of OCT Glaucoma Images and Information Theory Analysis
<p>Glaucoma is a group of optic nerve disease with progressive structural changes leading to loss of visual function. A careful examination and detection of changes in the optic nerve is the key to early diagnosis of glaucoma. Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is one of the known techniques of …
