This study found long axial length is a significant risk factor for both normal tension and primary open-angle glaucoma, suggesting patients with longer eyes need careful glaucoma screening.

This study found high preoperative IOP, more medications, and postoperative IOP spikes increase the risk of uncontrolled pressure after phacoviscocanalostomy, while older age decreases risk.

Phacoviscocanalostomy for normal-tension glaucoma and cataract significantly lowered IOP and better preserved visual fields compared to cataract surgery alone, offering a safe, effective combined treatment.

Phaco-viscocanalostomy provided better IOP control and fewer complications than phaco-trabeculotomy in open-angle glaucoma, suggesting it's a safer, more effective surgical option.

Diabetes thins the retinal nerve fiber layer, worsening with retinopathy severity, which can lead to false-positive glaucoma diagnoses using scanning laser polarimetry.

Studying phaco-viscocanalostomy, JCT peeling didn't improve long-term IOP but reduced early IOP spikes and complications. This adjunctive step may benefit glaucoma patients.

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.

Endoscopy during viscocanalostomy showed viscoelastic material filling and disrupting Schlemm's canal, suggesting inner wall disruption contributes to IOP reduction, improving glaucoma treatment understanding.

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 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.
