  1. 1. Laser treatment in glaucoma : efficacy and safety

    Författare :Erika Rasmuson; Gauti Jóhannesson; Christina Linden; Björn Lundberg; Mika Harju; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; glaucoma; laser treatment; intraocular pressure; glaucoma treatment; glaukom; laserbehandling; ögontryck; glaukombehandling; oftalmiatrik; ophthalmology; oftalmiatrik; ophthalmology;

    Sammanfattning : Glaucoma is a progressive optic neuropathy and the major cause of irreversible blindness worldwide. Although the pathogenesis of glaucoma is not completely understood, the most important risk factor for development and progression of the disease is an elevated intraocular pressure (IOP). LÄS MER

  3. 2. Molecular Genetic Studies of Genes Predisposing for Glaucoma

    Författare :Mattias Jansson; Claes Wadelius; Annika Lindblom; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Genetics; glaucoma; MYOC; OCLM; GSTM1; OPTN; mutation analysis; Genetik; Clinical genetics; Klinisk genetik;

    Sammanfattning : Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of visual impairment in the world. In glaucoma, the patient’s peripheral vision is lost due to progressive and irreversible deterioration of the retinal ganglion cells and atrophy of the optic nerve. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Glaucoma Characteristics and Risk Factors - Results from Malmö Eye Survey

    Författare :Kirsti Grødum; Oftalmologi (Malmö); []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; vascular disease; Ophtalmology; Oftalmologi; myopia; optic disc hemorrhages; mortality; refraction; glaucoma; population screening;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis is based on data from a large glaucoma screening, comprising 32, 918 elderly citizens of Malmö and data from retrospective analysis of glaucoma patients’ charts from the Eye Department of Malmö University Hospital. The definition of glaucoma was based on reproducible visual field defects and/or glaucomatous optic nerve head damage in both groups. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Improved computerized perimetric threshold strategies

    Författare :Boel Bengtsson; Oftalmologi (Malmö); []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; probability maps; normal limits; test time; clinical testing; test strategies. glaucoma; test algorithms; false positive answers; Visual field testing; computerized perimetry; Ophtalmology; Oftalmologi;

    Sammanfattning : Perimetric threshold examination is the most important method for diagnosing and monitoring patients with glaucoma. Such examination, however, is time-consuming and often difficult for the elderly patients in whom glaucoma is prevalent. Shorter test strategies have been proposed, but unfortunately also with lower test quality. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Computerised Three-Dimensional Analysis of Optic Nerve Head Topography in Normal and Glaucomatous Eyes

    Författare :Kjell Gunnar Gundersen; Oftalmologi (Malmö); []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; ranked segment distribution; minimal rim width; sector analysis; neuroretinal rim; global parameters; localised changes; computerised analysis; raster tomography; Optic nerve head topography; scanning laser tomography; Ophtalmology; Oftalmologi;

    Sammanfattning : Evaluation of the optic nerve head topography is one of the most important methods to diagnose and monitor patients with glaucoma. Until recently, optic nerve head topography has most often been judged by either ophthalmoscopy or from optic disc photographs. LÄS MER
