Abstract
Technological advances provide a number of options for glaucoma monitoring outside the office setting, including home-based tonometry and perimetry. This has the potential to revolutionize management of this chronic disease, improve access to care, and enhance patient engagement. Here, we provide an overview of existing technologies for home-based glaucoma monitoring. We also discuss areas for future research and the potential applications of these technologies to telemedicine, which has been brought to the forefront during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

Online circular contrast perimetry via a web-application: optimising parameters and establishing a normative database

TL;DR: Online circular contract perimetry (OCCP) as mentioned in this paper provides accurate perimetric testing with comparable results to standard automated per-imetry, with good agreement between tests.
Journal ArticleDOI

Circular Contrast Perimetry via Web Application

TL;DR: In this article , the authors compared a 24°, 52-locus online circular contrast perimetry (OCCP) application against standard automated perimetric (SAP) in terms of both diagnostic accuracy and patient attitudes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Home-Based Perimetry for Glaucoma: Where Are We Now?

TL;DR: There is uncertainty on the performance and value of home-based perimetry for glaucoma and disease progression in real life situations and additional efforts are required to elucidate the ability of the home- based perimeters to detect glaucolytic disease progression and patient acceptability.

Online Circular Contrast Perimetry: A Comparison to Standard Automated Perimetry

TL;DR: In this paper , the diagnostic accuracy of a novel 24-degree, 52-loci online circular contrast perimetry (OCCP) application to standard automated perimetric (SAP) was compared for parameters of OCCP, SAP, and OCT for the retinal nerve fiber layer and macular ganglion cell complex inner plexiform layer.

Comparison of Perimetric Outcomes From a Tablet Perimeter, Smart Visual Function Analyzer, and Humphrey Field Analyzer.

TL;DR: The tablet-based Melbourne Rapid Fields (MRF) visual field (VF) test and the IMOvifa Smart Visual Function Analyzer (SVFA) are portable perimeters that may allow for at-home monitoring and more frequent testing as discussed by the authors .

Optical coherence tomography

TL;DR: OCT as discussed by the authors uses low-coherence interferometry to produce a two-dimensional image of optical scattering from internal tissue microstructures in a way analogous to ultrasonic pulse-echo imaging.

Global prevalence of glaucoma and projections of glaucoma burden through 2040: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

TL;DR: The global prevalence of primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) and primary angle-closure glauComa (PACG) and the number of affected people in 2020 and 2040 are examined, disproportionally affecting people residing in Asia and Africa.

The Ocular Hypertension Treatment Study: A Randomized Trial Determines That Topical Ocular Hypotensive Medication Delays or Prevents the Onset of Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma

TL;DR: Topical ocular hypotensive medication was effective in delaying or preventing the onset of POAG in individuals with elevated IOP, and clinicians should consider initiating treatment for individuals with ocular hypertension who are at moderate or high risk for developing POAG.
Journal ArticleDOI

The advanced glaucoma intervention study (AGIS): 7. the relationship between control of intraocular pressure and visual field deterioration

TL;DR: In both analyses low intraocular pressure is associated with reduced progression of visual field defect, supporting evidence from earlier studies of a protective role for low intracular pressure in visual field deterioration.

Factors for glaucoma progression and the effect of treatment: the early manifest glaucoma trial.

TL;DR: Patients treated in the EMGT had half of the progression risk of control patients, including the effect of EMGT treatment, and the magnitude of initial IOP reduction was a major factor influencing outcome.
