Open Angle Glaucoma: Treatment

408
In open-angle glaucoma, the iridocorneal angle remains open, but the trabecular meshwork becomes stiff, slowing down the outflow of aqueous humor. This causes a buildup of aqueous humor in the anterior chamber, leading to a sudden increase in intraocular pressure. The treatment for open-angle glaucoma focuses on reducing the elevated intraocular pressure by either decreasing the secretion of aqueous humor or increasing its outflow.
Drugs such as carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, α2- and...

Summary

Older age, male sex, and worse initial visual acuity predict poorer outcomes in acute optic neuritis. These factors help identify patients at risk for worse visual function 6 months post-episode.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology and Neuroscience
  • Clinical Neuroimmunology

Background:

  • Acute optic neuritis (ON) is a common cause of visual loss in young adults.
  • Predicting visual outcomes in ON is crucial for patient management and clinical trial design.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify baseline clinical predictors of visual outcomes 6 months after acute optic neuritis.
  • Utilized data from the Treatment of Optic Neuritis with Erythropoietin (TONE) clinical neuroprotection trial.

Main Methods:

  • Secondary analysis of 103 patients with a first episode of acute unilateral ON.
  • Assessed predictors of high-contrast visual acuity (HCVA), low-contrast acuity, VEP P100, and retinal layer thickness at 6 months.
  • Employed multiple regression analysis on pooled, treatment-agnostic data.

Main Results:

  • Higher baseline HCVA predicted better outcomes across most measures.
  • Male sex predicted worse outcomes for most measures, except HCVA.
  • Older age was associated with poorer functional outcomes.

Conclusions:

  • Older age, male sex, and worse initial visual function are associated with poorer outcomes in acute optic neuritis.
  • These predictors can inform patient counseling and clinical trial participant selection.
  • Findings aid in balancing risk characteristics in neuroprotection trials for optic neuritis.
