One Year of Glaucoma Research in Review-2013 to 2014

The purpose of this study was to provide the practicing clinical ophthalmologist with an update on relevant glaucoma literature published from 2013 to 2014.

This study is a literature review.

The authors conducted a 1-year (October 1, 2013, to September 30, 2014) English-language glaucoma literature search on PubMed of articles containing "glaucoma" or "glaucomatous" with title/abstract as a filter. Medical subject headings filtered searching was not performed because of the newness of the reviewed material.

Literature search yielded 2314 articles, after which we excluded reviews and letters to the editor. We highlighted articles featuring new or updated approaches to the pathophysiology, diagnosis, or treatment of glaucoma and gave preference to human research.

This review features literature that is of interest to ophthalmologists in practice and also highlights studies that may provide insight on future developments applicable to clinical ophthalmology.
