Face masks inconsistently affect Goldmann tonometry, causing clinically significant IOP changes (≥3 mmHg) in one-third of patients, warranting re-measurement without a mask for accurate glaucoma management.

This study found that using the anterior corneal graft from a DSAEK procedure to cover glaucoma drainage device tubes is safe, effective, and economically beneficial, especially where donor tissue is scarce.

This study found glaucoma patients have impaired retinal blood vessel reactivity. Dorzolamide treatment improved this reactivity, suggesting a potential vascular benefit for glaucoma management.

Ahmed valve implantation for glaucoma with low preoperative IOP effectively lowered pressure and medication use, but success rates were moderate (53%) with complication risks, suggesting it's an option for achieving very low IOPs.

This study compared superior vs. inferior Ahmed valve placement, finding similar IOP control and success rates. Inferior placement is a viable alternative when superior insertion is limited.

This study found laser trabeculoplasty (LTP) use in Ontario decreased with new medications, but then significantly increased after selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) was introduced in 2001, highlighting its clinical impact.

This study found combined cataract and glaucoma surgery had similar complication rates and excellent success in reducing IOP for both pseudoexfoliation and non-pseudoexfoliation glaucoma patients.
