glaucoma to comprehensive
ophthalmologists and glaucoma
specialists gathered for the 26th
Annual Wills Eye Glaucoma
Conference, “Glaucoma 2005:
Meeting the Challenges,” held in
St. John, U.S. Virgin Islands,
February 2–5.
Also presenting were former
Glaucoma Service fellow Dr.
Steven Simmons, now Assistant
Professor of Ophthalmology at
Albany Medical College, Dr.
Ralph Eagle, Director of the Wills
Pathology Service, Dr. Jeffrey
Liebmann, Clinical Professor of
Ophthalmology and Director of

MEETING
THE
CHALLENGE
Dr. Spaeth:
• How Does One Decide When
and How to Treat Patients?
• How One Chooses Medications for the Treatment of
Glaucoma
(Continued on Page 2)
Drs. L. Jay Katz (left), George Spaeth, and Douglas Rhee (right), representing Wills Eye Hospital,
received a trophy for their participation in a “debate” with Bascom Palmer Eye Institute glaucoma
specialists at the Glaucoma MidWinter Symposium sponsored by Bascom Palmer in Key
Biscayne, Florida January 28–29. The discussions were wide-ranging — covering diagnostic
issues, such as imaging, as well as treatment topics including medicinal, laser, and surgical
approaches to glaucoma. The idea, according to Dr. Francisco Fantes, from Bascom Palmer, CoDirector of the course along with Dr. Richard Parrish II, was “to present highly clinically relevant
teaching ‘pearls’ of the Wills and Bascom Palmer specialists and throw key concepts on the floor
for open discussion among these world experts.”

AND
RESEARCH
Dr. Rhee and Former Fellow Dr. Leslie Jones Receive
American Glaucoma Society Clinician-Physician Awards
Glaucoma Service physician
Dr. Douglas Rhee and former
Glaucoma Service fellow Dr.
Leslie Jones (2000–2001) each
received one of the five prestigious Clinician-Scientist Awards
awarded this year by the
American Glaucoma Society.
Dr. Rhee received the Award
for the second year in a row, an
especially unusual distinction.
The announcements were made
at the annual meeting of the
Douglas Rhee, MD
Leslie Jones, MD
Society in Snowbird, Utah,
March 4–6.
The Clinician-Scientist awards
are given to encourage those
rare glaucoma specialists who
are able to combine a busy clinical practice with groundbreaking
research. Dr. Rhee, who in addition to being a Glaucoma Service
physician is Director of the
Laboratory for Molecular
Ophthalmology at Wills, received
the award for continuation of his
work to discover the molecular
biological aspects of intraocular
pressure regulation in the eye.
Dr. Jones, currently Assistant
Professor of Ophthalmology at
Howard University College of
Medicine in Washington, DC,
received the award for her proposed project, “Genetic Risk
Factors for Primary Open-Angle
Glaucoma in an Urban AfricanAmerican Population.”
Commenting on her project,
Dr. Jones noted: “I believe
insights into why glaucoma is
the leading cause of blindness
among individuals of black
African descent and tends to be
more severe in these individuals
will help all glaucoma patients
by increasing our understanding
of the basic causes of the disease, leading to the development of better therapies.” !

Seven Glaucoma Studies to be Presented at National Meeting
Seven studies by Glaucoma Service physicians,
fellows, Glaucoma Research Center personnel, and
researchers at the Wills Laboratory for Molecular
Ophthalmology have been accepted for presentation
as posters at the Annual Meeting of the Association
for Research in Vision & Ophthalmology (ARVO), the
premier national association for ophthalmic
research, the first week of May.
In a note to the authors Dr. Spaeth said: “The
ARVO Program Committee showed good sense.
These are good projects. Congratulations to all who
made them possible.”
• Comparison of Intraocular Pressure Lowering
Efficacy of Fixed Combination TimololDorzolamide versus an Unfixed combination of
Timolol and Latanoprost
Grace Lee, MD, L. Jay Katz, MD, Jeanne
Molineaux, Joann Fontanarosa, PhD, William
Steinmann, MD, MSc
Combining two different types of glaucoma medications in a single formulation is convenient for patients,
who, if they require both medications, would have to
instill only one rather than two different drops. Also it
Dr. Stuart Fine, Chair of the Department of Ophthalmology, University of
Pennsylvania Health System, and Director of the Scheie Eye Institute of
Philadelphia, presented the Edmund B. Spaeth Oration at the College of
Physicians of Philadelphia Wednesday March 9th. Dr. Fine (left) spoke on
“Clinical Trials: Good for the Patient, Good for the Doctor, Good for
Society.” The lecture, along with dinner, is presented annually under the
auspices of the Edmund Benjamin Spaeth Clinical Research Foundation,
founded in 1978 to honor Dr. George Spaeth’s father, Edmund B. Spaeth, a
prominent ophthalmologist. All ophthalmology residents and fellows in
the Philadelphia area were invited to attend the lecture and dinner as
guests of Alcon Laboratories.

is possible that the combined medication could be
more effective in reducing intraocular pressure than
the single medications taken separately. This study
found that glaucoma patients treated with a fixed
combination of timolol-dorzolamide and an unfixed
combination of timolol and latanoprost had equivalent decreases in intraocular pressure.
• Effect of Mitomycin C on Intraocular Pressure
Chandrasekharan (Dru) Krishnan, MD, Jonathan
Myers, MD, Carol Shields, MD, Jerry Shields, MD
Mitomycin C is an anti-scarring agent used in glaucoma surgery (trabeculectomy) to keep the surgically
created bleb open and functioning rather than naturally healing over. Theoretically, this agent can be
toxic to the ciliary body (which produces the aqueous
fluid), decreasing intraocular pressure. The records of
20 patients treated by the Wills Eye Hospital
Oncology Service with topical mitomycin C for conjunctival and corneal tumors were reviewed. None of
these patients had a history of glaucoma and none
were on topical glaucoma medications. The primary
objective was to compare intraocular pressure before
and after treatment with topical mitomycin C to determine whether treatment with mitomycin C was a factor in intraocular pressure changes. This study found
that topical mitomycin C showed no statistically significant acute effect on intraocular pressure.
• Color Vision Improvement Following Successful
Trabeculectomy
Dara Lankaranian, MD, Leopoldo Magacho, MD,
Jeffrey Henderer, MD, William Steinmann, MD,
MSc, George Spaeth, MD, João Lopes, MD,
Undraa Altangerel, MD
The purpose of this study was to determine if color
vision improves following reduction of intraocular
pressure after trabeculectomy. The percentage of
intraocular pressure reduction was compared with
changes in a variety of color-vision parameters. The
authors found that an intraocular pressure reduction
of 20% following trabeculectomy was associated with
an improvement in color vision, and that such an
improvement can serve as a useful marker to assess
the effect of treatment.
• Healon 5® Subtenon Under the Bleb in Trabeculectomy Surgery: A Randomized Clinical Trial

viscoelastic substance used as a surgical aid in
cataract extraction, intraocular lens implantation,
corneal transplant, glaucoma filtration (trabeculectomy), and retinal attachment surgery. In surgical
procedures in the anterior segment of the eye, as in
trabeculectomy, instillation of Healon serves to create and maintain a deep anterior chamber, which
facilitates manipulation inside the eye, with reduced
trauma to the corneal endothelium and other ocular
tissues. The purpose of this study was to investigate
the effect of applying the most recent formulation of
Healon, Healon 5, under the sub-Tenon’s capsule
(the layer of tissue that envelops the eyeball from
the edge of the cornea to the optic nerve) following
glaucoma surgery. The study found that application
of Healon 5 in this way following glaucoma surgery
was associated with more diffuse blebs. However,
the success rate and the IOP-lowering effect were
not statistically different between these eyes and
controls one year after trabeculectomy.
• ExPRESS™ Shunt Implantation with Scleral Flap
Technique for Complicated Glaucoma
João Lopes, MD, Marlene Moster, MD, Sophia
Wamsley, MD, Lior Haim, Undraa Altangerel, MD,
Dara Lankaranian, MD, Joann Fontanarosa, PhD,
William Steinmann, MD, MSc
Glaucoma drainage devices, also known as tube
shunts, are implanted devices that are designed to
maintain an artificial drainage pathway for patients
with glaucoma, thereby lowering intraocular pressure. This procedure is often chosen for patients at
high risk of failure with a traditional glaucoma filter
procedure (trabeculectomy). The ExPRESS™
(Optonol, Israel) shunt is a new such device. We
found in an earlier study that implanting this shunt
under the conjunctiva was associated with a high
rate of postoperative complications. Implanting the
device instead under a scleral flap has been proposed to decrease the risk of postoperative hypotony
(intraocular pressure too low) and conjunctival
erosion. This study found that this technique of
implanting the ExPRESS shunt controlled IOP in
more than 75% of patients with complicated glaucoma, with no need for medications or additional
surgery.
• Effect of Written Instructions on Accuracy of SelfReporting Medications in Glaucoma Patients
Bhairavi Kharod, MD, Paul B. Johnson, Heather
Nesti, MD, Douglas Rhee, MD
The purposes of this study were to evaluate the
4
accuracy of self-reporting ophthalmic medications
in a glaucoma population, identify factors contributing to patient accuracy, and assess the effect of
written instructions on the accuracy of self-reporting
medications.
The study found that if patients are, indeed, reporting medications as they administer them, there is
significant improvement in administration of medications after written instructions.
• Comprehensive Survey of Tissue Inhibitors of
Matrix Metalloproteinase Enzymes and Their
Transcriptional Response to Latanoprost
Incubation in Human Trabecular Meshwork and
Ciliary Body
From the Laboratory for Molecular Ophthalmology: Jonathan L. Martin, Rachel Peck,
Dong-Jin Oh, PhD, Douglas Rhee, MD, Director
In this study Dr. Rhee and colleagues continue the
Laboratory for Molecular Ophthalmology’s groundbreaking work to discover the molecular biological
aspects of intraocular pressure (IOP) regulation in
the eye. Why, at the most fundamental level, is the
pressure exerted by the fluid in the eye (the aqueous
humor) on the optic nerve cells in certain eyes too
high for the optic nerve cells in those particular eyes
to withstand? The physiological controls that seem
to prevent this damaging effect in most eyes, in
these eyes seem somehow to be out of adjustment.
Their studies over the past 4 years have revealed
many similarities and some important differences
between the cell signaling systems for the two pathways or tracts by which the fluid in the eye drains
out of the eye — the conventional pathway (ie, the
trabecular meshwork) and the uveoscleral pathway
(ie, the face of the structure that produces the fluid in
the eye, the ciliary body). Importantly, they have
shown evidence that three enzymes, among a family
of 21, may be the key effectors of IOP regulation.
The results of the study Dr. Rhee and colleagues
are presenting at the ARVO meeting represent an
especially important step forward in their work.
Comments Dr. Rhee, “Our most recent efforts have
investigated the natural inhibitors of these enzymes
to understand how the interplay of enzyme to
inhibitor may regulate IOP. In future studies, we will
be testing methods to manipulate the balance of
these enzymes and inhibitors to a ratio that correlates
with improved drainage, thus reducing IOP to a level
that will no longer damage the optic nerve.” !
People Making A Difference
All of us at the Glaucoma Service Foundation to Prevent Blindness
would like to express our sincere thanks to our many friends and
supporters — both those who sustain us financially and those who
donate their valuable time to our cause.
With Special Thanks to
Our lead donors, Mr. and Mrs. Raymond G. Perelman, for
their continued support of glaucoma research and education.
Alcon Laboratories, Inc.
Allergan
Mr. and Mrs. James Kim
Pfizer, Inc.
The Scholler Foundation
Mr. and Mrs. Raymond G. Perelman
Since he and his wife were our major financial benefactors in 2004, we
asked Mr. Perelman about the inspiration for their gift.
“Having glaucoma personally, I know it is important that we develop a
cure for this disease, and therefore I think we should support research
and education towards this goal. All of us who are unfortunate enough
to have this disease should generously support research and education
that will help find a cure which will benefit us and future generations.”
Mr. Stanley Tuttleman
As a major donor of his valuable time and energy, we asked
Foundation Board member Mr. Stanley Tuttleman why he expended so
much effort advising and supporting the Glaucoma Service Foundation.
“The extremely important work being done by the physicians and
researchers through the Glaucoma Service Foundation is already having
a significant effect on the health of glaucoma patients around the world.
Their work will make an even greater impact on peoples’ lives in the
years to come. I feel privileged to be able to make some small contribution to this effort. I hope my example may inspire others to join us as we
work to meet the challenge of glaucoma.”
2004 — A Fundraising Success!
Nearly 2,000 individuals, foundations, corporations, and estates donated
a total of $795,937 to support our efforts to meet the challenge of glaucoma — cutting edge research, community screenings, patient support,
physician education, and patient education. Our Annual Fund total was
$163,016. An additional $508,523 was restricted to glaucoma research,
and $124,398 was earmarked specifically for screenings, the Foundation
newsletter and website, educational programs, and salary support.
With your continued help, our goal — to end blindness from
glaucoma — is within our reach!
To all of our donors,
THANK YOU FOR YOUR EXTRAORDINARY GENEROSITY.
We could not do it without YOU!

From the “Chat Highlights” of the Glaucoma Service Website
Is Glaucoma Loss of
Peripheral Vision?
Participant: Can glaucoma be
equated with loss of peripheral
vision?
Dr. George Spaeth: It is a misconception that patients with
glaucoma lose peripheral
vision. “Peripheral vision” for
most people means vision off
to the side. That is, when a person is looking straight ahead,
peripheral vision means vision
way off to the right side and
way off to the left side. But that
kind of “side” vision is, in fact,
the last part of the vision to be
lost in people with glaucoma.
P: Perhaps part of the confusion comes from a misunderstanding of what “peripheral”
vision means. For instance, the
visual field tests I’ve taken for
years on Humphrey machines
test the central 30 degrees, not
peripheral vision. Why isn’t the
full visual field tested? Do doctors think that the peripheral
loss outside the 30 degrees is
acceptable to most of us?
Dr. George Spaeth: The central
30 degrees of vision is straightahead vision. It is the part you
are using when you are reading
or watching your computer
screen. Testing outside the
30 degrees is difficult, and that
is not where early field loss
develops. Thus, it would be
time consuming and would not
tell us anything that we can’t
learn from testing the more
central portion.
P: Instead of saying that glaucoma affects peripheral vision
first, shouldn’t that be phrased
in another way?
Dr. Richard Wilson: Yes. It is
more correct to say that glaucoma affects a doughnut of
vision around the center, sparing the center and the periphery till later in the disease.

From the “Chat Highlights” of the
Glaucoma Service Website
What are the most important factors in
determining if and how glaucoma damage
will progress?
Dr. Richard Wilson: The main factors are intraocular pressure, genetic susceptibility to pressure, adequate blood pressure and circulation,
and thickness of the cornea. Other factors, such
as race, are important. Nearsightedness and
diabetes play a lesser role.
Moderator: Does the attitude of the patient affect
progression of glaucomatous damage?
Dr. Richard Wilson: Absolutely. A compulsive person who always instills the eye drops on time has
a far better chance than a recalcitrant or forgetful
patient. I also think that a positive attitude and
sense of humor help a great deal.
Participant: Are these differences among ethnic
groups statistically significant?
Dr. Richard Wilson: Yes, very much so. AfricanAmericans are 14 to 17 times more likely than
Caucasians to go blind from glaucoma between
the ages of 45 and 65.
From the “Chat Highlights” of the Glaucoma Service Website
Should you be treated if you
have above-normal pressure, even though the optic
nerve is healthy?
Participant: If the pressure is
high and drops won’t lower it,
but the optic nerve is healthy, is
surgery still needed?
Dr. George Spaeth: If the nerve
is healthy, why do you need
any treatment at all?
P: Don’t data show that treating
ocular hypertensives preserves
vision over the long term, as
opposed to not treating?
Dr. George Spaeth: The data
are the other way around.
Treating causes cataracts and
introduces anxiety. The only
long-term study, by Linner and
Stomber, showed that after
25 years of not being treated,
ocular hyptensives rarely (5%)
lost enough vision to notice
any visual loss. But everybody
who is treated for ocular hypertension has some side effects
from the meds.

New Ways to Prevent
Glaucoma?
Dr. Jeffrey Henderer: I have an
update on new research concerning neuroprotection.
Researchers treated mice
with radiation and then a bone
marrow transplant. Somehow
that prevented glaucoma in
the mice. Perhaps there is
some immunologic aspect
that is being overcome by
giving these mice a new
10
bunch of blood cells.
Participant: How did the
researchers know that it prevented glaucoma? Did they
induce glaucoma in the mice?
Dr. Jeffrey Henderer: The mice
were of a strain that develops
glaucoma spontaneously. They
didn’t get glaucoma. There are
a number of animal models of
glaucoma, especially in dogs.
But mice are easier to work
with. This particular lab is
famous for its mouse strain,
which looks a lot like pigmentary glaucoma.
P: What kind of vaccination
against glaucoma are the
Israelis working on?
Dr. Richard Wilson: A vaccination that initiates an immune
response that increases the
patient’s resistance to glaucoma damage.

From the “Chat Highlights” of the
Glaucoma Service Website
Do vitamins and minerals help with primary
open-angle glaucoma and normal-tension
glaucoma?
Participant: My friends keep suggesting nutritional supplements. Is there any solid evidence
that vitamins and minerals help with primary
open-angle glaucoma and normal-tension
glaucoma?
Dr. Elliot Werner: There is some evidence that
gingko biloba helps stabilize the optic nerve.
There is no other good scientific evidence for any
other nutritional supplement, but good nutrition
is always a good idea and certainly promotes
good health.
