PURPOSE To determine the value and accuracy of 24-hour intraocular pressure (IOP) phasing using Icare ONE rebound tonometry (RTONE), in subjects with normal tension glaucoma (NTG). METHODS Eighteen consecutive patients with treated NTG were studied, all subjects had undergone 24-hour IOP phasing during a 1-year period. Each patient had daytime (08:00 to 16:00) IOP phasing with Goldmann applan...

PURPOSE To investigate the utility of the Corneal Visualization Scheimpflug Technology instrument (CST) to assess the progression of visual field (VF) damage in primary open angle glaucoma patients. METHOD A total of 75 eyes from 111 patients with primary open-angle glaucoma were investigated. All patients underwent at least nine VF measurements with the Humphrey Field Analyzer, CST measureme...

AIMS To determine the influence of prostaglandin analogues (PGAs) on corneal biomechanical properties in patients undergoing chronic treatment for primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG). METHODS Prospective, interventional case-control study. 70 eyes from 35 patients with POAG on chronic PGA therapy were recruited. One eye per patient underwent PGA cessation for 6 weeks while the contralateral ey...

PURPOSE To assess the prevalence and types of glaucoma in an Asian Malay population. METHODS The Singapore Malay Eye Study is a population-based, cross-sectional survey that examined 3280 (78.7% response) persons aged 40 to 80 years. Participants underwent a standardized clinical examination including slit-lamp biomicroscopy, Goldmann applanation tonometry, and dilated optic disc assessment. ...

PURPOSE To examine the differences between Goldmann Applanation Tonometry (GAT) and Dynamic Contour Tonometry (DCT) associated with latanoprost use. METHODS Twenty-four eyes (of 24 patients) treated with latanoprost monotherapy (latanoprost group, LG), 11 eyes (of 11 patients) not receiving prostaglandin analogs (nonlatanoprost group, NLG), and 20 eyes of 20 nonglaucomatous patients (control ...
