Agreement Between Trend-Based and Qualitative Analysis of the Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Thickness for Glaucoma Progression on Spectral-Domain Optical Coherence Tomography

Introduction: To evaluate the agreement between trend-based analysis and qualitative assessment of the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness for glaucomatous progression on spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SDOCT).

Rates of Glaucomatous Structural and Functional Change From a Large Clinical Population: The Duke Glaucoma Registry Study.

PURPOSE: To investigate rates of structural and functional change in a large clinical population of glaucoma and glaucoma suspect patients. DESIGN: Retrospective cohort.

Impact of Artifacts From Optical Coherence Tomography Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer and Macula Scans on Detection of Glaucoma Progression.

PURPOSE: To determine the prevalence of artifacts on segmented spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SDOCT) images and assess their impact on the interpretation of glaucomatous progression in the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) profile an

Reticular Bullous Epithelial Edema in Corneas Treated with Netarsudil: A Case Series.

PURPOSE: To describe the patient characteristics and the clinical course of an unusual reticular pattern of bullous epithelial corneal edema in a series of patients treated with netarsudil. DESIGN: Retrospective case series.

Recurrent Tube Erosions with Anti-Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Therapy in Patients with Age-Related Macular Degeneration.

Purpose

To determine the rates of primary and recurrent glaucoma tube shunt erosions in patients with age-related macular degeneration (AMD) receiving anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) intravitreal injections.

Fixed-Dose Combination of Netarsudil and Latanoprost in Ocular Hypertension and Open-Angle Glaucoma: Pooled Efficacy/Safety Analysis of Phase 3 MERCURY-1 and -2.

INTRODUCTION: New open-angle glaucoma (OAG) and ocular hypertension (OHT) therapies that reduce treatment burden and improve outcomes relative to currently available agents are needed.

Netarsudil/Latanoprost Fixed-Dose Combination for Elevated Intraocular Pressure: 3-Month Data From a Randomized Phase 3 Trial.

PURPOSE: To compare the ocular hypotensive efficacy and safety of a fixed-dose combination (FDC) of the Rho kinase inhibitor netarsudil and latanoprost vs monotherapy with netarsudil or latanoprost.

Factors Associated with Interventions after Laser Peripheral Iridotomy for Primary Angle-Closure Spectrum Diagnoses.

PURPOSE: To assess factors associated with receipt of subsequent medical, laser, or surgical interventions after laser peripheral iridotomy (LPI). DESIGN: Retrospective review.

IDENTIFICATION OF POSTERIOR SEGMENT PATHOLOGY WITH EN FACE RETINAL IMAGING USING MULTICOLOR CONFOCAL SCANNING LASER OPHTHALMOSCOPY.

PURPOSE: To assess posterior segment findings on multicolor confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscopy by correlation with spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) and to quantify agreement between these imaging modalities.

Possible Undiagnosed Glaucoma Detected by MultiColor Imaging of Retinal Diseases.

PURPOSE: To evaluate for the presence of visible retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) defects consistent with undiagnosed glaucoma in MultiColor images (Heidelberg Engineering, Heidelberg, Germany) obtained at clinicians' discretion for the diagnosis
