Central Visual Field Assessment in Late Stage Glaucoma
(University of Waterloo, 2006)Glaucoma is defined as a progressive optic neuropathy, characterized by loss of visual function and often associated with high intra-ocular pressure. Testing the patients' visual function with Standard Automated Perimetry ... -
Development of in vitro 3D model systems for screening non-viral neurotrophic factor gene therapies for the retina
(University of Waterloo, 2018-08-21)Glaucoma is a neurodegenerative disease that can lead to a complete loss of vision due to retinal ganglion cell (RGC) death. Therapies that have the capacity to protect and rescue stressed RGCs remain a critical unmet need ... -
An Investigation into the Effect of Increasing Target Size for Visual Sensitivity Measurement in Normals and in Early Glaucoma
(University of Waterloo, 2014-09-02)The clinical standard method of measurement for clinical visual sensitivity is currently Standard Automated Perimetry with a size III target (SAP III). However, there are many factors that can make the results unreliable. ... -
Non-viral gemini surfactant-phospholipid nanoparticles for topical gene delivery to the retina
(University of Waterloo, 2013-01-29)Glaucoma is a group of optic nerve degenerative diseases, which leads to gradual and permanent vision loss. Recent developments in the field of gene therapy have proposed increasingly promising treatments for glaucoma, in ... -
A novel Automatic Optic Disc and Cup Image Segmentation System for Diagnosing Glaucoma using RIGA dataset
(University of Waterloo, 2016-04-07)The optic nerve head (ONH) of the retina is a very important landmark of the fundus and is altered in optic nerve pathology especially glaucoma. Numerous imaging systems are available to capture the retinal fundus and from ... -
Short-Term Moderately Elevated Intraocular Pressure Is Associated With Elevated Scotopic Electroretinogram ResponsesShort-Term Elevated IOP and Scotopic ERG Responses
(Association of Research in Vision and Ophthalmology, 2016-04-01)Moderately elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) is a risk factor for open-angle glaucoma. Some patients suffer glaucoma despite clinically measured normal IOPs. Fluctuations in IOP may have a significant role since IOPs are ... -
Structure and Function in Early Glaucoma
(University of Waterloo, 2016-08-24)Glaucoma is a group of diseases, which exhibit a characteristic optic neuropathy and may result in progressive visual field loss. The most important risk factor is raised intraocular pressure (IOP) usually secondary to ...
