A rare ring melanoma of the anterior chamber angle can mimic pigmentary glaucoma, causing severe unilateral high pressure. Early recognition is crucial as it requires different management and carries metastatic risk, especially in older patients.

Switching from preserved latanoprost to preservative-free tafluprost maintained IOP while significantly improving ocular surface symptoms, signs, and quality of life in glaucoma patients with prior intolerance.

This study found that unilateral exfoliation syndrome alone, without elevated or fluctuating IOP, does not cause optic nerve damage, suggesting IOP is key in EXS-related glaucoma.

Trabeculectomy often didn't prevent visual field progression or impairment, especially with severe initial damage, highlighting the need for lower target IOPs in these cases.

This study found peripapillary atrophy areas were similar in eyes with and without exfoliation syndrome, indicating XFS itself isn't a risk factor for PPA.

This study found the Rebound tonometer is a rapid, well-tolerated, and comparable alternative to Pulsair 3000 for unanesthetized IOP measurement in elderly patients, offering a practical screening tool.

Trabeculectomy complications were common, but only high pressure at one month predicted long-term failure, not trephined block location or other early issues.
