Community-based screening programs have had limited success in preventing vision loss from glaucoma due to overall low prevalence of glaucoma, screening limitations, and barriers to follow-up appointments. This editorial highlights lessons learned from 2 large prospective trials: the Philadelphia Telemedicine Glaucoma Detection and Follow-up Study and the Screening To Prevent Glaucoma Study. While some lessons are specific to ophthalmology, many lessons are applicable to screening for asymptomatic diseases in underserved, vulnerable communities.

Tape sealing of the face mask can prevent fogging artifacts of visual field testing. Here, we demonstrate that tape sealing can improve visual field scores even when fogging artifacts are not obvious.

This cross-sectional study of 172 patients with glaucoma showed that functional and structural glaucoma damage was significantly associated with cognitive impairment independent of age and visual acuity.

The 24-2C grid showed significantly greater structure-function (S-F) associations in the global and regional sectors than the 24-2 visual field (VF) grid in open-angle glaucoma eyes.

Few studies have investigated the epidemiology of secondary glaucoma (SG) in China. This study analyzed the current profile of admitted patients with SG at the largest ophthalmic center in China.

In eyes with trabeculoplasty response, those with lower baseline pressure, angle recession or uveitis had shorter survival. Eyes without medications before treatment remained medication-free for a median of 197 days.

In primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG), micropulse trans-scleral cyclophototherapy (MPTCP) is effective in lowering intraocular pressure (IOP), but its effects are not permanent. Hence, it can serve as a temporizing measure before definitive glaucoma surgery.

Glaucoma surgery with PRESERFLO Microshunt shows mild and transient changes in the corneal astigmatism, corneal elevation and biometrics in the early postoperative period. Posterior corneal elevation (PCE) tends to be higher in primary open angle glaucoma (POAG).

Ocular biomechanics were compared between treated glaucoma patients and healthy subjects matched for age, intraocular pressure (IOP), and axial length. There was no difference in corneal wave propagation speed, but ocular rigidity was lower in glaucomatous eyes.

Intraocular pressure (IOP) is the only modifiable risk factor for glaucoma, with evidence from landmark randomized controlled trials demonstrating visual field preservation with IOP reduction. Over recent years, the use of remote sensors has formed an increasingly important component of the management of chronic diseases. During the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, the ability to remotely monitor IOP proved particularly useful when public stay at home orders have been in place.

The following presents a case of recurrent choroidal detachments (CD) correlated with changes in serum albumin levels and the patient’s fluid status. A 71-year-old female patient presented with a 4-day history of blurry vision in her left eye. Pertinent medical history included end-stage renal disease treated with continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis. Previously, the patient’s left eye was treated for primary angle-closure glaucoma by trabeculectomy. While this resulted in a low baseline intraocular pressure (IOP) of 2 to 7?mm?Hg, the patient never developed any hypotony-related complications for the past 6 years. After examination, CD was diagnosed and treated with transscleral surgical drainage. The patient further developed 2 additional episodes of CD in the same eye. All episodes were also associated with bilateral pitting edema, weight gain, and hypoalbuminemia. Thus, the patient was recommended to take a protein supplement and limit her fluid intake. In addition, the dialysis treatment regimen was altered to achieve greater daily fluid removal. After 12 weeks, there was no recurrent episode of CD, and the patient was clinically stable with a final visual acuity of 20/30 and an IOP of 3?mm?Hg. The serum albumin levels improved slightly, and there were no signs of hypervolemia. In this case of recurrent CD, a possible association between the development of CD, hypoalbuminemia, and hypervolemia in patients with end-stage renal disease is demonstrated. Clinicians should be aware that these systemic factors can be tied with recurrent CDs, especially among patients with a low baseline IOP.
