Visual limitations assessment in patients with glaucoma.
EDITOR,—It is well known that patients with glaucoma develop defects in their field of vision. It is generally assumed that these defects interfere with the aVected individual's visual function. This study explored the relation between visual field loss and the perception of visual disabilities in patients with glaucoma. A questionnaire designed to identify vision associated limitations in dail...

متن کاملStructural and Functional Brain Changes beyond Visual System in Patients with Advanced Glaucoma
In order to test the hypothesis that in primary open angle glaucoma (POAG), an important cause of irreversible blindness, a spreading of neurodegeneration occurs through the brain, we performed multimodal MRI and subsequent whole-brain explorative voxelwise analyses in 13 advanced POAG patients and 12 age-matched normal controls (NC). Altered integrity (decreased fractional anisotropy or increa...
متن کاملManagement of dyspnea in patients with far-advanced lung disease.
Dyspnea is a common problem among patients with interstitial fibrosis, lung cancer, cystic fibrosis, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The slow but steady progression of such diseases, often punctuated by acute exacerbations or secondary illnesses, can lead to decision-making dilemmas among patients and their caregivers, such as when to accept mechanical ventilation, when to forgoe agg...
متن کاملMisleading statistical calculations in far-advanced glaucomatous visual field loss.
OBJECTIVE In this study, the capability of statistical analysis indices to characterize static automated visual fields (VFs) accurately in cases of far-advanced glaucoma was assessed. DESIGN Retrospective observational case series. PARTICIPANTS Sixteen eyes of 15 patients with end-stage glaucoma and evidence of collapse of VF statistical analysis indices were included in the study. METHOD...
