Reporting Visual Acuities
The AJO encourages authors to report the visual acuity in the manuscript using the same nomenclature that was used in gathering the data provided they were recorded in one of…
Clinical Outcomes in Descemet Stripping Automated Endothelial Keratoplasty With Internationally Shipped Precut Donor Corneas
Purpose To report the endothelial cell loss and clinical outcomes in Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK) with internationally shipped, precut donor corneas. Design Retrospective analysis of a noncomparative case…
Performance of the Visual Field Index in Glaucoma Patients With Moderately Advanced Visual Field Loss
Purpose To explore the relationship between the visual field index (VFI) and the visual field mean deviation (MD) in glaucoma patients with moderately advanced perimetric damage and to identify the…
Epidemiology and Disease Burden of Pathologic Myopia and Myopic Choroidal Neovascularization: An Evidence-Based Systematic Review
Purpose To summarize the epidemiology of pathologic myopia and myopic choroidal neovascularization (CNV) and their impact on vision. Design Systematic literature review of all English-language studies evaluating the epidemiology and…
Development of a Score and Probability Estimate for Detecting Angle Closure Based on Anterior Segment Optical Coherence Tomography

The Effect of Phacoemulsification on Intraocular Pressure in Medically Controlled Open-Angle Glaucoma Patients
Purpose To evaluate intraocular pressure (IOP) after phacoemulsification in patients with medically controlled open-angle glaucoma (OAG), and examine the association of biometric variables to IOP changes. Design Retrospective case series….
The Investment in Cataract Surgery Yields Healthy Rewards
Unoperated cataract remains the most common cause of blindness worldwide, even though the disorder can be effectively and inexpensively treated with a standard surgical procedure. Visual impairment attributable to unoperated…
The Value of Tear Osmolarity as a Metric in Evaluating the Response to Dry Eye Therapy in the Clinic and in Clinical Trials
In this issue, Amparo and associates purport that tear osmolarity has little utility in assessing therapeutic changes in dry eye patients. We will explain how this faulty conclusion is a…
Cataract Surgery in Glaucoma Patients: How Much Benefit?
In this issue of the Journal , Drs. Slabaugh, Bojikian, Moore, and Chen report the effects of phacoemulsification cataract surgery on intraocular pressure in their patients with medically-controlled open-angle glaucoma….
