This study found 4.2% of pseudophakic eyes developed late-onset ocular hypertension after vitrectomy, often years later. Therefore, long-term IOP monitoring is crucial after this surgery.

Combined trabeculotomy and sinusotomy significantly reduced diurnal IOP fluctuations and peak IOP in open-angle glaucoma patients, even those with controlled office-hour pressures. This surgery offers a viable treatment option for reducing harmful IOP spikes.

Cultured TM cells showed senescence (beta-galactosidase activity, telomere shortening) by late passages. This suggests cellular senescence may contribute to primary open-angle glaucoma's development.

Highly myopic eyes, especially with chorioretinal atrophy, showed significantly lower aqueous PEDF levels. This suggests PEDF reduction may contribute to myopic degeneration, potentially guiding future therapeutic strategies.

This study found significantly lower PEDF levels in the aqueous humor of eyes with retinitis pigmentosa and advanced glaucoma, suggesting PEDF deficiency may contribute to neuroretinal degeneration.

Aqueous humor PEDF levels decrease with age, a finding potentially relevant for understanding age-related eye diseases, especially those involving angiogenesis.

This study found HRT optic disc parameters, especially rim area and volume, can differentiate primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) from normal-tension glaucoma (NTG) and ocular hypertension (OH), aiding diagnosis.

This study found PEDF is expressed in normal rat eyes and choroidal neovascularization (CNV) lesions. This suggests PEDF may modulate CNV, offering a potential therapeutic target.
