BACKGROUND To determine the stage of primary open angle glaucoma at presentation at a tertiary eye unit, to assess patient's knowledge of glaucoma and acceptance and subsequent adherence to treatment. METHOD Information collected prospectively on new glaucoma patients aged 30 or more years included distance from residence and what they knew about glaucoma and its treatment. Treatment offered ...
PURPOSE To determine the associations between the use of antithrombotic drugs and incident open-angle glaucoma (OAG). METHODS Ophthalmic examinations including measurements of the IOP and perimetry were performed at baseline and follow-up in 3939 participants of the prospective population-based Rotterdam Study who did not have OAG at baseline. The use of antithrombotic drugs was monitored con...
RISK FACTORS Glaucoma is recognized as a neurodegenerative disease in which the accelerated loss of retinal ganglion cells (RGC) and their axons is a significant clinical feature. RGCs do not have the capacity to regenerate following an insult, which renders them susceptible to apoptosis.1 While the precise pathogenesis of glaucoma remains unclear, repetitive insult to the RGC axons, particular...
Microinvasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) is emerging as a new therapeutic option for glaucoma patients who wish to reduce their medication burden and avoid the postoperative complications of conventional glaucoma filtration surgery. These devices differ in terms of their efficacy and safety profile. Schlemm's canal devices have the most favorable safety profile at the compromise of modest efficacy...
BACKGROUND Improving adherence to ocular hypertension (OH)/glaucoma therapy is highly likely to prevent or reduce progression of optic nerve damage. The present study used a behaviour change counselling intervention to determine whether education and support was beneficial and cost-effective in improving adherence with glaucoma therapy. METHODS A randomised controlled trial with a 13-month re...
As they grow older, most children with glaucoma must eventually face the transition to self-administering medications. We previously reported factors associated with better or worse medication adherence in children with glaucoma, using an objective, electronic monitor. Utilizing the same data set, the purpose of the current study was to determine whose report (the caregiver's or the child's) co...
AIM To compare quality of life and treatment satisfaction between patients who had selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) and those on medication. METHODS A prospective clinical trial on 143 glaucoma patients that received SLT and a control group that continued using anti glaucoma medication was conducted. Tear break-up time (BUT), punctuate keratitis, need for help, use of artificial tears an...
OBJECTIVE To assess glaucoma medication adherence in children, hypothesizing that poor parental health literacy and eye drop instillation by the child are associated with worse adherence. METHODS This prospective, observational study enrolled pediatric patients with glaucoma who were prescribed eye drops. Parent(s) reported who was responsible for eye drop instillation (parent vs child), took...
OBJECTIVE To examine resource consumption and the direct costs of treating glaucoma at different disease severity levels. DESIGN Observational, retrospective cohort study based on medical record review. PARTICIPANTS One hundred fifty-one records of patients with primary open-angle or normal-tension glaucoma, glaucoma suspect, or ocular hypertension (age > or =18 years) were randomly selecte...
