Dr. Tobias Elze was awarded an NIH R01 grant. The topic of the project is “Personalizing Glaucoma Diagnosis by Disease Specific Patterns and Individual Eye Anatomy”. The project is aimed to develop novel diagnostic indices based on computationally identified evolution patterns of VF loss and to investigate the relationship of VF loss and individual parameters related to retinal structure based on retinal nerve fiber layer thickness (RNFLT) measurements around the optic disc; and therefore, the project would develop clinically applicable measures to improve the diagnosis of glaucomatous VF loss and of its progression. Please find the grant details and abstract here.
