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.

UBM showed the intrascleral lake size decreased over 12 months post-viscocanalostomy/cataract surgery, correlating with IOP reduction. This suggests lake maintenance is crucial for long-term IOP control.

Combined viscocanalostomy and cataract surgery in Japanese glaucoma patients significantly reduced IOP and medication use compared to cataract surgery alone, with similar visual outcomes and manageable complications.

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 compared combined viscocanalostomy and cataract surgery to combined trabeculotomy and cataract surgery for POAG. Both procedures similarly lowered IOP and improved vision, but viscocanalostomy had more complications, suggesting trabeculotomy may be a safer option.
