This study found severe corneal clouding at presentation predicts future blindness in children with primary congenital glaucoma, highlighting the need for aggressive management and counseling for these high-risk patients.

Kanu Levi N, Jang Inae, Oh Daniel J, Tiwana Manpreet S, Mehta Amy A, Dikopf Mark S et al.

This study found incarcerated glaucoma patients had high rates of medication nonadherence and missed follow-ups, highlighting significant challenges in managing their care despite theoretical controls.

This review found glaucoma drainage devices are a mainstay for refractory pediatric glaucoma, with circumferential trabeculotomy and deep sclerectomy showing promise, highlighting evolving surgical options for complex cases.

AlQurashi Mohannad, Mocan Mehmet C, AlDarrab Abdulrahman, Al Thiabi Saad, Khandekar Rajiv, Ahmad Khabir et al.

This study found caregivers of children with glaucoma, especially mothers, those with blind children, or multiple affected children, have poor quality of life, highlighting the need for support services.

AlDarrab Abdulrahman, Al Qurashi Mohannad, Al Thiabi Saad, Khandekar Rajiv, Edward Deepak P

This study found children with glaucoma have reduced functional vision and quality of life, particularly those with worse vision, bilateral disease, or multiple surgeries, highlighting the need for comprehensive support.

This study found Baerveldt implant success rates were similar at 5 years whether primary or secondary, but secondary implants had a faster annual success decline, guiding surgical timing decisions.

This study found glaucoma treatments are often unaffordable globally, especially in developing nations, with timolol being the most accessible. Improving affordability is crucial to reduce global glaucoma blindness.

Dissecting glaucoma blebs were studied; their epithelium resembles corneal cells, while their matrix is conjunctival. This suggests they migrate under corneal epithelium, informing bleb management.

Al-Omairi Ahmed Mansour, Al Ameri Aliah H, Al-Shahwan Sami, Khan Arif O, Al-Jadaan Ibrahim, Mousa Ahmed et al.

This study found that while Ahmed valve revision in children initially lowers IOP, its long-term success significantly declines, highlighting the need for alternative or repeated interventions.

Experts developed an internationally valid rubric (ICO-OSCAR: Trabeculectomy) to assess trabeculectomy surgical skill, providing a standardized tool for global training and evaluation.

Alzuhairy Sultan, Albahlal Abdullah, Aljadaan Ibrahim, Owaidhah Ohoud, Al Shahwan Sami, Craven Earl Randy et al.

This study found both short and long duration cyclophotocoagulation effectively lowered glaucoma eye pressure, but long duration treatment may worsen vision and inflammation, favoring shorter burns clinically.

This study found selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) is equally safe and effective for primary angle-closure glaucoma (PAC/PACG) after iridotomy and primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG), offering a valuable treatment option.

Al Rashaed Saba, Arevalo Fernando, Al Sulaiman Sulaiman, Masoud Jelewy, Rushood Abdulaziz, Asghar Nasira et al.

This study found endophthalmitis incidence after glaucoma surgery (trabeculectomy/GDI) significantly decreased after 2000, likely due to surgical advances, but still causes significant visual morbidity.

Bouhenni Rachida A, Al Jadaan Ibrahim, Rassavong Heidi, Al Shahwan Sami, Al Katan Hind, Dunmire Jeffrey et al.

Leaking blebs after glaucoma surgery showed significantly reduced lymphatic and blood vessel density, suggesting impaired immune response and increased blebitis risk.

Morales Jose, Al Qahtani Masaoud, Khandekar Rajiv, Al Shahwan Sami, Al Odhayb Sami, Al Mobarak Faisal et al.

Combined phacoemulsification and ECP for advanced glaucoma showed low absolute success (IOP≤15 mmHg without meds) but reduced medication burden. Careful patient selection is crucial due to varying success rates.

SD-OCT revealed glial membranes on the optic nerve head in RP patients. These membranes correlated with waxy pallor, suggesting they contribute to this clinical sign in RP.

This study found NF1 children can develop severe neovascular glaucoma from retinal vascular issues, but aggressive treatment may preserve vision, emphasizing early retinal screening in NF1.

Alanazi Farhan F, Song Jonathan C, Mousa Ahmed, Morales Jose, Al Shahwan Sami, Alodhayb Sami et al.

This study compared primary and secondary congenital glaucoma in Saudi Arabia, finding primary CG was more common, often bilateral, and linked to consanguinity, with distinct differences in axial length and C/D ratio.

Edward Deepak P, Morales Jose, Bouhenni Rachida A, Patil Jayaprakash, Edward Priya R, Cummings Thomas J et al.

This study found NF-1 glaucoma with ectropion uvea is caused by anterior chamber angle endothelialization, potentially due to Ras-MAPK pathway overactivity, leading to severe pediatric glaucoma.

This study found Descemet's stripping endothelial keratoplasty (DSEK) frequently causes intraocular pressure elevation in all patients, necessitating close monitoring, but vision significantly improves regardless of pre-existing glaucoma.

Cataract surgery after trabeculectomy yields predictable refractive outcomes similar to controls, despite a weak correlation between lower pre-op IOP and myopic shift, aiding surgical planning.

Femtosecond laser trabecular meshwork photodisruption was studied in ex vivo primate eyes. It precisely created lesions without thermal damage, demonstrating feasibility for future glaucoma surgery.

This study found Goldmann tonometry (GAT) didn't falsely elevate IOP in thick corneas after DSEK. Therefore, a high GAT reading in these eyes likely indicates true elevated IOP, requiring clinical attention.
