Comparing glaucoma drainage implants inserted via the ciliary sulcus, Ahmed valve tubes were harder to position due to lower rigidity, leading to more reinsertions than Baerveldt implants.

A new technique using a proline stent to guide Ahmed valve tube insertion into the ciliary sulcus improves placement accuracy, preventing complications like vitreous misdirection in pseudophakic glaucoma patients.

This study found phacoemulsification ultrasound energy (CDE) was not associated with post-cataract surgery intraocular pressure changes. Thus, CDE doesn't predict post-op IOP fluctuations in non-glaucomatous eyes.

LPI similarly widens anterior angles and expands anterior chamber dimensions in Caucasians and Chinese, despite initial anatomical differences, confirming its consistent efficacy across these ethnicities.

This study found laser iridotomy opens the eye's drainage angle, with narrower baseline angles showing the greatest improvement. This helps identify patients who benefit most from the procedure.
