Although it is often said that structure always precedes function* A - This is a false statement and the relationship is more nuanced B - This is an accurate statement and we should never treat until there is both functional and structural loss that corresponds C - This is false and we should always assume function proceeds structure D - This is accurate, especially when it come to using 10-2s 8. Which of the below is not a treatment fact* A - Most patients are NOT non-responders B - None of the major studies have specifically addressed what the ideal IOP lowering should be for individual patients or groups C - Adherence to targets has been shown to slow global progression D - Phase III Latanoprost trials showed 25% of patients had an IOP lowering effect of less then 10% 9. All of the following are progression pearls except for _____* A - Progression usually behaves in a linear fashion B - A target rate of progression is likely more important than a target IOP C - Risk of progression in the real world is much greater than in well controlled clinical trials D - 2 OCT scans per year are likely sufficient to detect progression 10.

Reasons that visual fields and OCT don’t always align include all of the following except ______* A - OCT is in linear units and visual fields are non-linear B - Tissue thickness is not an exact surrogate for retinal ganglion cell function C - Visual field testing exhibits perfect repeatability and low variability D - Current use of the 24-2 visual field may under sample damaged RGCs 12.

According to Hood et al. the OCT-driven definition of glaucoma involves these features* A - Superior quadrant RNFL thickening B - An OCT GCL defect that is overlaps or is consistent with the RNFL defect C - Glow scale thinning in the papillo-macular bundle D - presence of an epiretinal membrane 15. Corneal Hysteresis has been shown to be* A - A poor indicator of a patient’s risk of glaucomatous damage B - Equivalent to central corneal thickness C - More useful than Central Corneal thickness in predicting progression D - Useful in keratoconus patients 16.
