Diffuse glaucomatous structural and functional damage in the hemifield without significant pattern loss.

30 Oct 2009 OBJECTIVES: To compare the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness and retinal sensitivity in the normal visual hemifield of glaucomatous eyes with localized visual field loss with those of normal eyes and eyes with suspected glaucoma, and to ... Read more...

Features and function of multiple evanescent white dot syndrome.

29 Sep 2009 OBJECTIVE: To describe and compare the tomographic features and macular abnormalities of multiple evanescent white dot syndrome (MEWDS) during the disease course. METHODS: In 5 patients (5 eyes) with characteristic MEWDS lesions (hypofluorescent in ... Read more...

Risk factors for normal-tension glaucoma among subgroups of patients.

29 Sep 2009 OBJECTIVE: To identify risk factors for normal-tension glaucoma among subgroups of patients. METHODS: In 93 patients with unilateral normal-tension glaucoma, intereye comparison of baseline spherical equivalent, central corneal thickness, untreated ... Read more...
