Horani A, Frenkel S, Blumenthal EZ. Ophthalmic Surg Lasers. 2006 May/June 37 (3). Department of Ophthalmology, Hadassah University Hospital, Jerusalem, Israel. ABSTRACT BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: The feasibility and reproducibility of scanning laser polarimetry performed through dilated pupils rather than through non-dilated pupils was tested. PATIENTS AND METHODS: One eye each of 36 subjects (12 normal,

Sapir-Pichhadze R, Blumenthal E. Harefuah. 2003 Jan;142(1):66-9, 76. Department of Opthalmology, Hadassah University Hospital, Jerusalem, Israel. ABSTRACT: Chronic open angle glaucoma is a one of the leading causes of irreversible blindness. Elevated intraocular pressure is a major risk factor for the progression of this disease. At present, most patients suffering from open angle glaucoma have
