- Ep 13 Talking About Glaucoma - 6Dec2010: Glaucoma risk factors with Marcelo Nicolela (mp3)TAG episode 13 Nicolela Glaucoma risk fxMarcelo Nicolela & Rob Schertzer
Show notes Talking About Glaucoma #13 December 2010 Glaucoma Risk Factors
In this episode, Dr Nicolela and I discuss the risk factors for the development of glaucoma. This includes talking about the difference between risk factors for developing disease vs those for disease to progress. Much of our current knowledge is based on information from clilnical trials and population studies over the past decade. Bear in mind that still intraocular pressure remains as the single most important modifiable risk factor, even in normal tension glaucoma patients.
Some of the risk factors discussed include intraocular pressure (IOP), age, race (african americans and U.S. Latinos), pachymetry (corneal thickness), family history, and low perfusion pressure as well as signs that likely represent early manifestation of the disease itself such as vertical disc cupping and disc haemmorhages.
Dr Nicolela is Associate Professor and Fellowship Director in the Department of Ophthalmology & Visual Sciences at Dalhousie University.

This episode was recording during the Canadian Ophthalmogical Society 2010 Annual Meeting in Quebec City. The recording gear for this episode included the Blue Microphones YETI, MacBook Pro 2010 15.4”, LaCie Rugged External Drive and Audio Hijack Pro software. Fission was used to convert the audio file to AIFF for Levelator to balance the sound levels. The final audio editing, chapter markers, show notes and images were put together using Garage Band ‘11. I have a lot of fun doing this by myself and recording these interviews with my colleagues. Look for more episodes as I still have another couple that are recorded that I have to edit.
Opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the speakers and are not intended to be taken as the standard of care for glaucoma treatment. Please always weigh the complete clinical picture and involve patients with any decisions in their care.

In this episode, Drs Schuman, Burgoyne and I discuss optic nerve and nerve fiber layer iimaging in glaucoma. To clarify the different modalities, the Confocal Scanning Laser Ophthalmoscope (CSLO) has been popularized as the Heidelberg Engineering device, current version being the HRT 3; the Scanning Laser Polarimeter is the GDx machine, and; the original Optical Coherence Tomography unit and its next 2 generations were popularized by Zeiss and use Time Domain scanning whereas the latest technology uses Spectral Domain technology to achieve much higher resolution with the Spectralis OCT made by Heidelberg Engineering.

In this episode, Dr Damji and I discuss the use of Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT) in treating patients with open angle glaucoma. The conversation includes a comparison of this to Argon Laser Trabeculoplasty (ALT), the step-wise approach to treating patients with glaucoma and where the SLT might fit it. We also cover the burning question of the repeatability of this treatment modality as well as its contraindications.
