Article Abstract
Purpose: To validate estimation of Goldmann applanation tonometer (GAT) intraocular pressure (IOP) from scleral Schiotz IOP measurements using a regression model in normal eyes and eyes with type-1 keratoprostheses.
Methods: In this prospective cross-sectional study, cohort-1 had 253 normal anterior segment eyes, and cohort-2 had 100 eyes with type-1 keratoprostheses. Scleral Schiotz IOP measurements were used (in a non-linear model) to predict GAT IOP values for these eyes. Accuracy of predicted GAT IOP values was assessed using actual GAT IOP values for normal eyes, while for type-1 keratoprosthetic eyes, finger tension (FT) IOP assessments by an experienced glaucoma specialist were used. Primary outcome was agreement between FT IOP (assessed by an experienced glaucoma specialist) and predicted GAT IOP-derived clusters.
Results: The actual values of GAT IOP measurements in normal eyes (n=253; mean age ±SD, 51.35±15.56 years) ranged between 6 mm Hg and 62 mm Hg (mean=22±10.05 mm Hg). Estimated and actual GAT IOP values for normal eyes were very similar (mean difference=0.05 mm Hg with limits of agreement: -5.39 to 5.5 by Bland-Altman plot). Of the 100 eyes with type-1 keratoprostheses, 68 were classified as having digitally normal IOP, 28 as borderline and 4 as high. The agreement between classification by FT assessment and model-predicted GAT IOP values was substantial (Kappa=0.81, 95% CI 0.69 to 0.93). The accuracy of the model in assessing IOP was found to be 91% (95% CI 0.84 to 0.96).
Conclusion: Scleral Schiotz IOP values along with our predictive model can be an alternative objective method to FT IOP in assessing IOP in eyes with type-1 keratoprostheses.

Background: This study aimed to compare intraocular pressure (IOP) responses during isometric handgrip strength tasks between primary open-angle glaucoma patients and healthy individuals.
Methods: Forty older adults participated: 21 glaucoma patients and 19 controls. Participants randomly performed four trials at two intensities, maximal and submaximal (at 50% of self-perceived maximal effort), with two trials per hand (one for the left eye and one for the right eye).

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate a a shortened Water drinking test (WDT) protocol and explore potential factors of patient characteristics such as body mass index (BMI) or Body Surface Area (BSA).
Methods: This was a prospective, randomized study comparing two validated WDT dosage regimens: 10 mL/kg and a fixed 800 mL intake. Patients were randomly assigned to one of the two groups.
Foveal Avascular Zone Enlargement as a Risk Factor for Early Retinal Ganglion Cell Dysfunction in Glaucoma Suspects.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between foveal avascular zone (FAZ) enlargement, retinal ganglion cell (RGC) dysfunction, and structural retinal measurements in glaucoma suspects (GS), using pattern electroretinogram (PERG) and optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) parameters. Thirty-one eyes (20 subjects) of GS status underwent comprehensive ophthalmologic evaluation including steady-state PERG, optical coherence tomography (OCT), and OCTA. FAZ area was measured using ImageJ software (version 1.

Over the past decade, efforts focused on developing genetic therapies for inherited retinal diseases have advanced steadily to clinical trials and the development of a treatment, fueling optimism for the potential of precision medicines to provide safe and effective therapies for these rare conditions. Although several ongoing programs remain poised for success, numerous challenges have negatively impacted the ability to obtain regulatory approvals. The present position paper briefly summarizes recent advances and challenges in developing therapeutics for inherited retinal diseases, and presents a set of recommendations for moving the field forward.
