Internal limiting membrane peeling, even in healthy maculae, causes immediate and non-progressive thinning of the ganglion cell layer, a key finding for understanding surgical effects on retinal health.

This study found IOP spikes are common after GATT, especially if pre-operative medications are stopped. Continuing medications reduces spike risk and improves surgical success.

This study found no significant difference in efficacy or safety between superior and inferior 180-degree GATT glaucoma surgery. Glaucoma type, advanced disease, and younger age increased failure risk.

GATT effectively treated uveitic glaucoma, achieving 71.8% success and significantly lowering IOP/medications without sight-threatening complications. This conjunctival-sparing procedure should be considered early.

This ex-vivo study found iStent implants are safe in 3T MRI, showing no displacement, minimal heating, or significant image artifacts. Patients with iStents can safely undergo 3T MRI scans.

This study found that eye patching after cataract surgery increases short-term corneal swelling and delays visual recovery. Clinically, avoiding patching may lead to faster visual improvement post-op.

Ahmed glaucoma valve tubes tend to move closer to the cornea long-term. This highlights the need for careful initial tube placement (short, tangential, posterior) to prevent future corneal damage.

Preoperative brimonidine 0.2% did not prevent significant, sustained intraocular pressure increases during prostatectomy in steep Trendelenburg, indicating limited protective effect for glaucoma patients in this surgical position.

This study found repairing exposed glaucoma drainage tubes with buccal mucous membrane and corneal grafts is a highly effective, long-term solution, offering good clinical success for patients.

Transscleral SLT, without a gonioscopy lens, effectively lowered IOP in glaucoma patients for one year, similar to conventional SLT, offering a potentially simpler treatment approach.
