Corneal hysteresis: a useful tool in the diagnosis and management of primary open angle glaucoma.

30 Aug 2009 PURPOSE: To describe a case of primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) and to illustrate a new principle in detecting and managing the disease using intraocular pressure (IOP) corneal hysteresis as a clinical guide. METHOD: A case report is reviewed of a ... Read more...

Meta-analysis of articles evaluating routine intraocular pressure control in monotherapy in the United States and Germany.

30 Aug 2009 PURPOSE: To evaluate routine intraocular pressure (IOP) control in monotherapy patients in the United States and Germany. METHODS: Meta-analysis of published articles. We included articles that were prospective studies of ocular hypotensive ... Read more...

Relationship between visual field severity and response to fixed combination dorzolamide/timolol or timolol alone.

30 Jul 2009 PURPOSE: To examine the response to intraocular pressure (IOP)-lowering medications as a function of glaucoma severity represented by visual field defects. METHODS: Post hoc analysis of a multicenter, double-masked, parallel study comparing the 24-h ... Read more...
