A practice has purchased a new piece of scanning laser equipment (GDx) that is designed to help in the early detection of glaucoma. In the past, the practice always billed for a visual field and ...

The latest investigations into a promising new genetic test for glaucoma - the leading cause of blindness worldwide - has found it has the ability to identify 15 times more people at high risk of ...

NEW YORK — Clinicians should be proactive in testing for progression of glaucoma, according to Harry A. Quigley, MD, who spoke here at the Ocular Surgery News Symposium: Cataract, Glaucoma & ...

Same-visit visual field test and optic nerve head imaging — even with 3D OCT neuroretinal rim minimum distance band thickness — may show different rates of disease progression, suggesting a need for ...

Researchers have identified 107 genes that increase a person's risk of developing the eye disease glaucoma, and now developed a genetic test to detect those at risk of going blind from it. The ...

A UA team’s device-in-progress could revolutionize the way glaucoma patients check their eye pressure. Eniko Enikov, an associate professor of aerospace and mechanical engineering, is leading a UA ...

The most common tests for glaucoma can underestimate the severity of the condition by not detecting the presence of central vision loss, according to a new Columbia University study. The study, ...

A new screening test that takes less than a minute is making it possible to diagnosis glaucoma earlier than ever before. The test is part of a new arsenal of diagnostic procedures and drug treatments ...

Glaucoma is the leading cause of blindness in the U.S. for those over forty, but this disease can develop at earlier ages of life as well. Intraocular pressure, fluid pressure inside the eye, can ...

The disease is usually related to unhealthy pressure inside the eye, but often, symptoms are so subtle people don't even know they have it until it begins to steal their sight. An at home test could ...
