Comparison of analytic algorithms for detecting glaucomatous visual field loss.

TL;DR: Algorithms that were based on any of the alternate definitions of localized reduction in retinal sensitivity performed equally well, which suggests that any of these approaches is useful in searching for glaucomatous visual loss as typified by this database.
Journal ArticleDOI

The advanced glaucoma intervention study (AGIS): 5. Encapsulated bleb after initial trabeculectomy

TL;DR: This study found male gender to be a risk factor for bleb encapsulation as well as other risk factors for encapsulated bleb development, as did two previous studies.

Contact probe for laser cyclophotocoagulation

TL;DR: A fiber optic handpiece has portions formed with special contours that facilitate consistent placement of the probe in an axial rather than radial orientation, thus decreasing the likelihood of incidental laser exposure to unintended structures while maintaining the intrinsically higher laser-tissue coupling efficiency of a contact technique as discussed by the authors.
Journal Article

The Advanced Glaucoma Intervention Study (AGIS): 10. Variability among academic glaucoma subspecialists in assessing optic disc notching.

TL;DR: Without definitions or examples of optic disc rim notching, the glaucoma subspecialists had relatively high intraobserver agreement but were likely to disagree with each other in characterizing the degree of disc rimNotching.
