  2. 1. Progression in Glaucoma

    Author : Hanna Maria Öhnell; Oftalmologi (Malmö); []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; glaucoma; visual fields; perimetry; diagnosis; progression; Optical Coherence Tomography OCT ; optic disc photography;

    Abstract : The treatment of glaucoma is focused on reducing the intraocular pressure to a level at which progression is impeded. A diagnosis of glaucoma is not considered certain until progression is confirmed, and thus detecting progression is a central aspect in both the diagnosing and the monitoring of glaucoma patients.

  4. 2. Glaucoma Diagnostics

    Author : Sabina Andersson; Oftalmologi (Malmö); []
    Keywords : POAG – glaucoma – diagnostic accuracy – screening – subjective assessment – population-based – GDx VCC – OCT – HRT – FDT – ONH assessment – CME – ANN – artificial neural network – visual field assessment;

    Abstract : This thesis addresses several aspects of glaucoma diagnostics from both a clinical and a screening perspective. New instruments for diagnosing glaucoma have been developed over the past years, but little information is available regarding their performance as screening methods and their usefulness in ordinary clinical practice.

  5. 3. Morphometry of the Optic Nerve Head as a Diagnostic Tool for Glaucoma

    Author : Camilla Sandberg Melin; Per Söderberg; Boel Bengtsson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; optic nerve head; ONH; nerve fibers; glaucoma; optical coherence tomography; OCT; Pigment epithelium central limit-inner limit of the retina minimal distance; PIMD; PIMD-2π; Segmental PIMD-2π; confocal scanning laser tomography; HRT; NRA; variation; variability; variance; loss rate; follow-up.;

    Abstract : Glaucoma is a chronic optic nerve head (ONH) disease. Gradual retinal ganglion cell and nerve fiber loss lead to morphological ONH change and visual field defects. Initial loss is often focal. Rate of progression and life expectancy guide treatment. READ MORE

  6. 4. Electrophysiology, Optical Coherence Tomography and Molecular Genetic Analysis in Patients with Glaucoma and/or Best Vitelliform Macular Dystrophy as Part of Clinical Care

    Author : Elisabeth Wittström; Lund Oftalmologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Glaucoma; BVMD; BEST1; full-field ERG; mfERG; OCT;

    Abstract : Glaucoma is a common ophthalmic disease with multifactorial aetiology. There is growing evidence that glaucoma is a disease of the entire retina and not only the inner retina. READ MORE

  7. 5. Machine Learning Algorithms for Improved Glaucoma Diagnosis

    Author : Dimitrios Bizios; Oftalmologi (Malmö); []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Primary open angle glaucoma, one of the leading causes of blindness in the world, constitutes a slow progressing condition characterized by damage to the optic nerve and retinal nerve fibre layer, and results in visual field defects afflicting the visual function. Highly specific and sensitive diagnostic tests able to detect the clinically significant glaucomatous changes in the structure of the nerve fiber layer and visual field are therefore required for the early detection and management of this disease.
