About this Research Topic
Significant progress has been made in the past decade concerning both the medical and surgical management of glaucoma. However, determining the factors that play a role in how patients respond to these interventions is yet to be investigated, particularly factors that affect glaucoma progression, despite treatment.
Numerous factors have been proposed to predict both glaucoma diagnosis and progression. In this Research Topic, we aim to shed the light on important determinants (effect modifiers or risk factors) of glaucoma diagnosis and progression in both medically-treated and surgically-treated cases. Factors of particular interest include ethnicity/race, corneal hysteresis, glaucoma severity and type, prior therapy, cataract diagnosis and/or extraction, time from treatment to progression, neurodegenerative diseases, and the change in IOP between baseline and follow-up.
This Research Topic features original research (randomized and non-randomized trials, cohorts, case-control studies, and registry-based and post-hoc analyses) and review articles (literature reviews, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses). The topics to be covered in both medically-treated and surgically-treated glaucoma patients:
1. Effect modifiers of glaucoma diagnosis and progression
2. Risk factors of glaucoma diagnosis and progression
