Increased Likelihood of Glaucoma at the Same Intraocular Pressure in Subjects With Pseudoexfoliation
We read, with great interest, the paper by Topouzis and associates. The authors should be congratulated for their work, because population-based studies are needed to provide accurate information about the…
Outcome of Raised Intraocular Pressure in Uveitic Eyes With and Without a Corticosteroid-Induced Hypertensive Response
We read with great interest the recently published article “Outcome of raised intraocular pressure in uveitic eyes with and without a corticosteroid-induced hypertensive response” by Sallam and associates. We would…
Recovery of Corneal Hysteresis After Reduction of Intraocular Pressure in Chronic Primary Angle-Closure Glaucoma
We read with interest the paper by Sun and associates, which corroborates prior reports of rises in corneal hysteresis following reductions in intraocular pressure (IOP), but were surprised that they…
Testability of Vision and Refraction in Preschoolers
Trager and associates recently reported interesting findings from the Strabismus, Amblyopia and Refractive Error Study (STARS) on the testability of vision and refraction in a Singaporean sample of Chinese preschool…
Protective Effect of Paraoxonase 1 Gene Variant Gln192Arg in Age-Related Macular Degeneration
Purpose Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of blindness among older adults, in which oxidative damage may play a pivotal role. Paraoxonase 1 (PON1) protects against oxidative damage…
