New Finnish and Swedish glaucoma guidelines Open
This issue of Acta contains English translations of two new national guidelines for glaucoma care, one from Finland and the other from Sweden. The new Finnish guidelines were published in Finnish in March 2023 (Harju et al., 2023), and the…

Long‐term follow‐up of laser trabeculoplasty in multi‐treated glaucoma patients Open
Purpose To evaluate the long‐term effect of laser trabeculoplasty (LTP) in patients randomized to multi‐treatment in the Glaucoma Intensive Treatment Study (GITS). Methods Patients with untreated newly diagnosed open‐angle glaucoma were tr…
Long-term Impact of Immediate Versus Delayed Treatment of Early Glaucoma: Results From the Early Manifest Glaucoma Trial Open
Delaying treatment did not result in serious penalties. VI occurred at similar proportions in both treatment arms with a slight preponderance in the treatment group, whereas visual field damage was slightly higher in the control group.
Estimating the Length of the Preclinical Detectable Phase for Open-Angle Glaucoma Open
Importance A 50% reduction of glaucoma-related blindness has previously been demonstrated in a population that was screened for open-angle glaucoma. Ongoing screening trials of high-risk populations and forthcoming low-cost screening metho…

Threat to fixation and vision‐related quality of life in early open‐angle glaucoma — results from the Glaucoma Intensive Treatment Study Open
Purpose To determine the effect of glaucomatous visual field (VF) damage close to the point of fixation, called threat‐to‐fixation (TTF), on vision‐related quality of life (VRQoL) in open‐angle glaucoma. Methods A total of 239 patients fro…

The glaucoma intensive treatment study: interim results from an ongoing longitudinal randomized clinical trial Open
Purpose The aim of the study was to determine the perimetric rate of glaucoma progression in the ongoing Glaucoma Intensive Treatment Study (GITS) after 3 years of follow‐up. Design This is a randomized, two‐centre, prospective open‐labell…
False Positive Responses in Standard Automated Perimetry Open
Across 3 different standard automated perimetry thresholding algorithms, FP rates showed only weak associations with visual field test results, except in severe glaucoma. Current recommendations regarding acceptable FP ranges may require r…
Screening for Open-Angle Glaucoma and Its Effect on Blindness Open
The results suggest that population screening may reduce bilateral low vision and blindness caused by glaucoma by approximately 50%.

Laser trabeculoplasty in newly diagnosed multi‐treated glaucoma patients Open
Purpose To evaluate the intraocular pressure (IOP)‐lowering effect of laser trabeculoplasty (LTP) in eyes which IOP had been substantially reduced by intensive topical treatment for one week. Methods Patients with newly diagnosed open‐angl…
Ageing and glaucoma progression of the retinal nerve fibre layer using spectral‐domain optical coherence tomography analysis Open
Purpose To compare the effects of ageing and glaucoma progression on the thickness of the circumpapillary retinal nerve fibre layer (cpRNFL) and to evaluate the performance of a set of optical coherence tomography (OCT) progression analyse…
Making a Correct Diagnosis of Glaucoma: Data From the EMGT Open
Précis: A correct diagnosis of glaucoma established at initial visits. Purpose: It has been suggested that a diagnosis of glaucoma cannot be certain until progression has been demonstrated. Our aim was to evaluate the correctness of a glau…
Predicting undetected glaucoma according to age and <span>IOP</span>: a prediction model developed from a primarily European‐derived population Open
Purpose To model prediction of undetected glaucoma in a predominantly white population, based on intraocular pressure ( IOP ) and subject age. Methods In 1992–1997, a population screening for glaucoma was performed at Malmö University Hosp…

A New SITA Perimetric Threshold Testing Algorithm: Construction and a Multicenter Clinical Study Open
SITA Faster saved considerable test time. SITA Faster and SITA Fast gave almost identical results. There were small differences between SITA Faster and SITA Standard, of the same character as previously shown for SITA Fast vs SITA Standard.
Initial intraocular pressure reduction by mono‐ versus multi‐therapy in patients with open‐angle glaucoma: results from the Glaucoma Intensive Treatment Study Open
Purpose To study newly diagnosed glaucoma patients given mono‐ or multi‐therapy regarding differences in initial intraocular pressure ( IOP ) reduction, target IOP levels reached and influence of untreated baseline IOP on IOP reduction. Me…

The Glaucoma Intensive Treatment Study (GITS), a randomized clinical trial: design, methodology and baseline data Open
Purpose The primary objective of the ongoing Glaucoma Intensive Treatment Study ( GITS ) is to evaluate the effectiveness of immediate intensive treatment in comparison with the commonly recommended stepped regimen on the predicted visual …
Detection of glaucoma progression by perimetry and optic disc photography at different stages of the disease: results from the Early Manifest Glaucoma Trial Open
Purpose To compare the earliest detection of progression in visual fields and monoscopic optic disc photographs at different stages of manifest glaucoma. Methods This study evaluated 306 eyes in 249 patients with manifest open‐angle glauco…
Lack of Visual Field Improvement After Initiation of Intraocular Pressure Reducing Treatment in the Early Manifest Glaucoma Trial Open
Observed visual field changes among glaucoma patients receiving initial IOP-reducing therapy were not significantly different to changes seen in patients who received no treatment. Thus, our results did not support the idea that visual fie…
Niels Ehlers 1930–2016 Open
During the following years, Niels focussed on establishing a clinical and scientific environment for corneal disease, the development of the Danish Cornea Bank, and by establishing the centralised treatment for retinoblastoma in Aarhus. Th…
