Glaucoma surgery can induce ocular surface disease (PGS-OSD) from factors like blebs and medications. This impacts surgical success and patient quality of life, necessitating routine post-operative ocular surface evaluation and management.
Mastropasqua Leonardo, Agnifili Luca, Brescia Lorenza, Figus Michele, Posarelli Chiara, Oddone Francesco et al.
This study used deep learning on slit-lamp images to distinguish functioning from failed glaucoma surgery blebs. The model achieved good accuracy, potentially aiding clinicians in managing post-operative patients.

UCP effectively lowered IOP in glaucoma patients, including those with high myopia, showing similar efficacy and safety, making it a viable treatment option.
Menchini Martina, Sartini Francesco, Figus Michele, Gabbriellini Giovanna
Pulsed hydrocortisone eye drops safely improved dry eye signs and symptoms in Sjögren's patients without affecting intraocular pressure, offering an effective treatment option.
Bhayani Raj, Martínez de la Casa Jose Maria, Figus Michele, Klabe Karsten, Rabiolo Alessandro, Mercieca Karl
The Preserflo Microshunt effectively lowered IOP and medication use in glaucoma patients over one year, showing good safety but modest success for very low target pressures, guiding surgical selection.
Agnifili Luca, Sacchi Matteo, Figus Michele, Posarelli Chiara, Lizzio Rosario Alfio Umberto, Nucci Paolo et al.
Long-term glaucoma medications harm the ocular surface, impacting filtration surgery success. Despite its importance, there's no consensus on preparing the ocular surface, highlighting an unmet clinical need for standardized strategies.
Figus Michele, Loiudice Pasquale, Passani Andrea, Perciballi Laura, Agnifili Luca, Nardi Marco et al.
This 10-year study of supraciliary gold micro shunts for refractory glaucoma found very low long-term success (3.6% qualified success at 10 years), indicating poor sustained IOP control and frequent need for further interventions.

Ex-Press glaucoma shunts increased epiretinal membrane (ERM) risk, but most were mild cellophane macular reflex with limited functional or anatomical impact, regardless of cataract surgery.
Marques Raquel Esteves, Sousa David Cordeiro, Vandewalle Evelien, Somers Alix, Melamed Shlomo, Nardi Marco et al.
Ultrasound cycloplasty for glaucoma increased corneal astigmatism, but its impact on overall refractive astigmatism was less significant, suggesting minimal visual effect.
Agnifili Luca, Brescia Lorenza, Scatena Barbara, Oddone Francesco, Figus Michele, Perna Fabiana et al.
AS-OCT revealed glaucoma medications, especially multiple drugs, reduce tear meniscus height/area, indicating therapy-related ocular surface disease akin to dry eye, useful for monitoring.
Fea Antonio M, Bron Alain M, Economou Mario A, Laffi Gianluca, Martini Enrico, Figus Michele et al.
This study found a gel stent (XEN45), alone or with cataract surgery, significantly lowered IOP and medication use in glaucoma patients, suggesting it's an effective and safe treatment option.
Michelessi Manuele, Quaranta Luciano, Riva Ivano, Martini Enrico, Figus Michele, Frezzotti Paolo et al.
This study found OCT's clinical reference database for minimum rim width (MRW) is less sensitive for glaucoma diagnosis than continuous parameters, highlighting a gap between research and clinical utility.
Posarelli Chiara, Covello Giuseppe, Bendinelli Anna, Fogagnolo Paolo, Nardi Marco, Figus Michele
High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) for glaucoma non-invasively lowers eye pressure by precisely ablating the ciliary body. This safe, effective treatment offers a promising alternative between medical and surgical options.
Michelessi Manuele, Riva Ivano, Martini Enrico, Figus Michele, Frezzotti Paolo, Agnifili Luca et al.
This study found that optic nerve head (MRW) and nerve fiber layer (pRNFL) imaging are superior to macular OCT for diagnosing early glaucoma, offering better diagnostic accuracy.
Abadia Beatriz, Ferreras Antonio, Calvo Pilar, Fogagnolo Paolo, Figus Michele, Pajarin Ana B
This study found OCT retinal nerve fiber layer measurements are highly reproducible. Eye tracking systems did not significantly improve this excellent reproducibility in glaucoma patients or healthy individuals.
Figus Michele, Posarelli Chiara, Passani Andrea, Albert Timothy G, Oddone Francesco, Sframeli Angela Tindara et al.
This review explored the supraciliary space for glaucoma surgery, finding it a promising, safer alternative to traditional methods, potentially improving outcomes and reducing complications.
Figus Michele, Posarelli Chiara, Nasini Francesco, Casini Giamberto, Martinelli Paolo, Nardi Marco
This study proposes an everting suture technique for glaucoma filtering surgery to safely lift the scleral flap postoperatively, potentially reducing early failure and avoiding conjunctival puncture complications.
Agnifili Luca, Costagliola Ciro, Figus Michele, Iezzi Giovanna, Piattelli Adriano, Carpineto Paolo et al.
Failed gold micro shunts in glaucoma showed thick connective tissue encapsulating the device ends and filling inner channels, isolating them and impeding aqueous flow, explaining their failure.
Figus Michele, Lazzeri Stefano, Fogagnolo Paolo, Iester Michele, Martinelli Paolo, Nardi Marco
This study found the Gold Micro Shunt effectively lowered IOP in 67% of refractory glaucoma patients for two years, reducing medication needs. However, membrane obstruction was a key failure factor.
Fogagnolo Paolo, Sangermani Chiara, Oddone Francesco, Frezzotti Paolo, Iester Michele, Figus Michele et al.
This study found visual field fluctuation peaks in moderate-severe glaucoma (GSS2 stage 4), decreasing in early/late stages. Clinically, understanding this variability helps differentiate true progression from normal test-retest changes.
Fogagnolo Paolo, Romano Simona, Ranno Stefano, Taibbi Giovanni, Pierrottet Chiara, Ferreras Antonio et al.
This study compared optic nerve assessment methods (SP vs. HRT) in retinitis pigmentosa. It found HRT overestimates cup-to-disc ratio in pale optic nerves, especially with lower image quality, suggesting caution in non-glaucoma cases.
Mastropasqua Leonardo, Agnifili Luca, Ciancaglini Marco, Nubile Mario, Carpineto Paolo, Fasanella Vincenzo et al.
This study found successful gold micro shunt implantation for glaucoma significantly increased conjunctival microcysts. This suggests enhanced aqueous filtration across the sclera contributes to shunt efficacy.

This study found that 24-hour intraocular pressure fluctuation in glaucoma patients was independent of central corneal thickness and its daily changes, regardless of treatment or body position.
