Article Abstract
Purpose: Primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) represents the most prevalent form of glaucoma and stands as a foremost contributor to irreversible vision impairment on a global scale. Despite notable strides made in comprehending the genetic underpinnings of POAG, investigations within the context of Russia remain constrained.
Methods: The study cohort comprised a total of 235 individuals, with 135 of them exhibiting various forms of glaucoma encompassing both POAG and (NTG, while the remaining 100 individuals served as control subjects. Each participant underwent a comprehensive ocular examination to ascertain their ocular health status. Genotyping of the relevant single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) was carried out using the Taq Man genotyping assay. Specifically, the two SNPs under scrutiny were rs5443 gene and rs4646994. Statistical analysis was performed to evaluate the association of these SNPs with glaucoma risk.
Results: The presence of the T allele of rs5443 was found to be associated with NTG ( = .004). However, no statistically significant correlation was identified between this SNP and POAG ( = .88).
Conclusion: This study provides evidence of an association between the T allele of rs5443 and a reduced susceptibility NTG within the Russian population. These observations augment the comprehension of the genetic underpinnings of glaucoma and hold potential implications for the prospective development of targeted therapeutic interventions.

: This study aimed to evaluate estimated pulse wave velocity (ePWV) in different glaucoma types. : This was observational, cross-sectional, non-interventional study conducted on 127 primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) patients, 59 primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG) patients, 34 pseudoexfoliative glaucoma (PEX) patients, and 55 normotensive glaucoma (NTG) patients (total of 275 glaucoma patients). The control group (CG, 92 patients) consisted of patients with cataract.

PurposeThe aim of our study was to evaluate the outcome of trabeculectomy with respect to surgeon's experience and to explore additional contributing factors.MethodsThis retrospective study was conducted analyzing consecutive single-surgeon cases from October 2019 to June 2022 receiving TE with mitomycin C. Eyes were categorized into five groups based on surgeon experience: E1 for the first 50 TEs, E2 for 51-100, E3 for 101-150, E4 for 151-200, E5 for 201-300.

Purpose: To investigate alteration in pulsatile trabecular meshwork (TM) motion in normal tension glaucoma (NTG) compared with healthy controls and primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) patients.
Methods: This cross-sectional study included 15 healthy individuals, 14 NTG patients and 15 POAG patients with asymmetric visual field defects (VFD). Eyes were categorised as mild-to-moderate VFD (GI) or severe VFD (GII).

Introduction: Selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) is an effective treatment option in open-angle glaucoma (OAG) and ocular hypertension (OHT). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the real-world treatment outcomes of SLT in a tertiary referral glaucoma service.
Methods: We reviewed the medical records of consecutive patients who had undergone SLT in the glaucoma service at the Royal Victoria Eye and Ear Hospital, Dublin.
