This study found β-zone peripapillary atrophy enlarged equally in ocular hypertension eyes that did and didn't convert to glaucoma, suggesting it's not a sole predictor of disease progression.

This study compared complications of tube shunts vs. trabeculectomy for glaucoma. Trabeculectomy had more early complications, but late complications and reoperations were similar over five years, guiding surgical choice.

The TVT study found tube shunts had higher 5-year success and fewer reoperations than trabeculectomy with MMC for complex glaucoma, despite similar IOP control, suggesting tubes are a more durable option.

The TVT Study compared tube shunts and trabeculectomy in complex glaucoma. Tube shunts showed lower failure/reoperation rates and fewer early complications, supporting their broader use beyond refractory cases.

This 5-year study found surgical glaucoma treatment significantly reduced optic disc progression and increased cupping reversal compared to medical therapy, linking lower IOP to reversal but not improved vision.

Rauscher Frederick M, Gedde Steven J, Schiffman Joyce C, Feuer William J, Barton Keith, Lee Richard K

This study found tube shunt glaucoma surgery caused significantly more new eye motility disturbances and diplopia than trabeculectomy, highlighting a key surgical risk for patients.

PCR testing of eye fluid accurately diagnoses infectious posterior uveitis, especially with vascular/optic nerve inflammation or extensive retinitis, guiding effective treatment changes.

Gedde Steven J, Herndon Leon W, Brandt James D, Budenz Donald L, Feuer William J, Schiffman Joyce C

This study found trabeculectomy with MMC had more postoperative complications than tube shunts for glaucoma, but serious complications and vision loss were similar for both procedures.

Gedde Steven J, Schiffman Joyce C, Feuer William J, Herndon Leon W, Brandt James D, Budenz Donald L

The TVT study found tube shunts had a lower one-year failure rate (3.9% vs. 13.5%) than trabeculectomy for uncontrolled glaucoma, despite similar IOP reduction, offering better initial surgical stability.

OHTS graders showed good-excellent reproducibility (kappa 0.65-0.83) in detecting optic disc deterioration from photos, with high specificity but challenging sensitivity for subtle changes.

This study compared tube shunts to trabeculectomy in glaucoma patients with prior eye surgery, finding no baseline differences between groups. Future results will guide surgical choices for these complex cases.

Fannin Lilia A, Schiffman Joyce C, Budenz Donald L

This study found young age, male gender, and myopia are key risk factors for hypotony maculopathy, while diabetes and choroidal effusion are protective. This helps identify patients at higher risk.

Baerveldt implants effectively lowered IOP and medication use in refractory uveitic glaucoma, demonstrating reasonable safety and efficacy for this challenging condition.

Scott Ingrid U, Murray Timothy G, Flynn Harry W, Feuer William J, Schiffman Joyce C

This study found intraoperative perfluoro-n-octane for giant retinal tears achieved good reattachment and vision in most cases, but identified tear size, prior surgery, and age as key risk factors for re-detachment, guiding surgical planning.

Hoffman Kara B, Feldman Robert M, Budenz Donald L, Gedde Steven J, Chacra Grace Abou, Schiffman Joyce C

This study found combined cataract extraction and Baerveldt implant surgery safely and effectively lowers IOP, medication use, and improves vision, especially after failed trabeculectomy, offering a viable option for complex cases.

Greenfield David S, Knighton Robert W, Feuer William J, Schiffman Joyce C, Zangwill Linda, Weinreb Robert N

This study found that correcting for corneal polarization axis significantly improves scanning laser polarimetry's ability to detect mild-to-moderate glaucoma, enhancing diagnostic accuracy by accounting for ocular optical properties.

Feuer William J, Parrish Richard K, Schiffman Joyce C, Anderson Douglas R, Budenz Donald L, Wells Maria-Cristina et al.

Trained technicians achieved high reproducibility of cup/disk ratio measurements over time in OHTS, confirming these visual estimates are reliable for assessing glaucoma prognosis in ocular hypertension.
