This study found that retained lens fragments after cataract surgery cause higher initial IOP elevation and spikes, especially in males, those with higher baseline IOP, or glaucoma, necessitating vigilant monitoring.

PDR patients lost to follow-up experience significant vision loss and complications upon return, especially without PRP monotherapy. Adherence is crucial to prevent irreversible vision loss.

This study found US women have more vision loss/blindness than men, especially from cataracts and AMD. This highlights sex-specific disease burdens for clinical focus.

This paper standardized MIGS clinical endpoints and defined Minimal Clinically Important Differences (MCID) for success, improving study comparison and ensuring patient-meaningful outcomes in glaucoma care.

This study identified risk factors like higher baseline IOP, male sex, and glaucoma for post-cataract surgery IOP spikes, helping surgeons stratify and mitigate patient risk.

This study found 1 in 9 newly diagnosed US PACG patients are blind. Black/Hispanic race and public insurance increase blindness risk, highlighting disparities and need for earlier detection.

Real-world data showed similar 1-year IOP reduction for tube shunts and trabeculectomy, but trabeculectomy used fewer medications, informing surgical choice for glaucoma.

This study of pediatric vitreoretinopathy-associated RDs found high reoperation rates and frequent fellow eye involvement, highlighting the complex, often bilateral nature of these rare detachments.

Stand-alone cataract surgery significantly lowered intraocular pressure in both glaucoma and non-glaucoma patients through 90 days post-op, offering a beneficial IOP reduction.

This study identified risk factors for repeat corneal transplants after EK. Key findings include prior graft failure, glaucoma, and social determinants like Black race and government insurance, informing patient counseling and care.

IRIS Registry data showed academic glaucoma practices treat more severe cases and Black patients, use more diagnostics, and perform different surgeries than nonacademic settings, highlighting educational opportunities.

A large study of pediatric CNV found common causes are idiopathic, inflammatory, or myopia. Treated eyes, typically older with worse initial vision, showed significant and sustained visual improvement.

This study compared real-world (IRIS Registry) tube vs. trabeculectomy outcomes. It found real-world tube shunt failure rates were higher than in the RCT, suggesting real-world practice differences impact outcomes.

This study found MIGS use during cataract surgery varied by age, race, insurance, region, and glaucoma severity, suggesting diverse patient selection patterns.

Vanner Elizabeth A, Sun Catherine Q, McSoley Matthew J, Persad Patrice J, Feuer William J, Lum Flora et al.

This study found real-world registry data for glaucoma surgeries (tube vs. trabeculectomy) had significant baseline differences and poorer follow-up compared to a controlled trial, limiting direct comparisons and generalizability.

This study found no difference in glaucoma surgery rates among various corneal transplants, but patients with pre-existing glaucoma, especially after PK, had significantly higher risk, requiring careful long-term management.

Atchison Elizabeth A, Wood Kevin M, Mattox Cynthia G, Barry Catherine N, Lum Flora, MacCumber Mathew W

Real-world data show anti-VEGF injections generally cause a small IOP decrease, but 2.6% of patients experienced a significant rise (except with aflibercept), highlighting the need for continued IOP monitoring.

This study found cataract surgery significantly reduced hip fracture risk in Medicare beneficiaries with cataracts, suggesting improved vision may prevent falls and fractures.
