This study found that retained lens fragments after cataract surgery cause higher initial IOP elevation and spikes, especially in males, those with higher baseline IOP, or glaucoma, necessitating vigilant monitoring.

A study of 1.1 million patients found preoperative gonioscopy was coded in only 63.2% before glaucoma procedures, lower than expected. This suggests underutilization or under-coding, particularly before MIGS, impacting surgical planning.

Childhood glaucoma surgery failed in nearly half of cases. Younger age, higher initial IOP, and concurrent uveitis predict failure, highlighting the need for early, aggressive management in these complex patients.

A survey of ophthalmologists found most use drops for initial POAG treatment, but about 25% prefer laser, especially US doctors, newer practitioners, and those with a larger glaucoma patient base. This highlights evolving practice patterns.

Prophylactic LPI for primary angle closure suspects is cost-effective across most ages, suggesting its public health benefit in preventing glaucoma.

This study identified risk factors like higher baseline IOP, male sex, and glaucoma for post-cataract surgery IOP spikes, helping surgeons stratify and mitigate patient risk.

Stand-alone cataract surgery significantly lowered intraocular pressure in both glaucoma and non-glaucoma patients through 90 days post-op, offering a beneficial IOP reduction.

Glaucoma cascade screening in relatives of young Haitian patients found 30.8% had manifest or suspected glaucoma, highlighting the high yield and need for improved participation and awareness in this high-risk population.

Nylon wicks with fenestrations in nonvalved aqueous shunts significantly lowered early postoperative IOP and medication use, offering better pressure control while awaiting ligature dissolution.

This study found 23.6% of US infants live over an hour from primary congenital glaucoma specialists, risking delayed diagnosis, particularly in underserved, lower-income communities.

This study found 1 in 9 elderly Floridians live over an hour from a glaucoma specialist, highlighting significant access barriers, especially in rural areas, impacting care and potentially vision outcomes.

Residents performing Baerveldt glaucoma surgery achieved comparable intraocular pressure reduction and failure rates to specialists. This supports resident autonomy in complex glaucoma procedures.

Studying Baerveldt 350 surgery, a vicryl suture wick offered no additional early IOP control or complication benefits over standard fenestration, suggesting limited clinical utility for this technique.

Very preterm infants have thinner retinal nerve fiber layers than term infants, which correlates with brain abnormalities and poorer neurodevelopment, suggesting a link between ocular and brain health.

This study established normative RNFL thickness data in healthy neonates, finding potential racial differences in superior temporal RNFL. This baseline is crucial for diagnosing pediatric glaucoma and optic neuropathies.
