This review found novel implants for childhood glaucoma (e.g., PRESERFLO, PGI) show promising mid-term efficacy and safety, especially for refractory cases, but require more long-term comparative studies.

This study compared PSLT and SLT for glaucoma, finding both similarly lowered IOP, but PSLT was significantly better tolerated by patients, offering a comfortable alternative.

This study measured capsule porosity around glaucoma drainage devices in rabbits, finding no difference between a new experimental and an existing device, suggesting the new model can test GDD designs.

This review compared the EX-PRESS glaucoma device and trabeculectomy, finding EX-PRESS offers similar IOP reduction with potentially fewer complications, making it a valuable alternative for glaucoma surgery.

This study suggests two forms of phacolytic glaucoma: a hyperacute type from rapid protein leakage (no macrophages) and a more gradual type involving an immune response with macrophages, impacting diagnosis and treatment.

This pilot study found topical 0.05% flunarizine significantly lowered IOP from baseline in glaucoma/ocular hypertension patients. While not statistically superior to placebo in this small cohort, it suggests potential for a new IOP-lowering agent.

A wireless contact lens sensor safely and effectively monitored 24-hour IOP in glaucoma patients, revealing frequent nocturnal peaks, which could improve glaucoma management by providing continuous pressure data.

This review found limited evidence to compare infection risks between penetrating and non-penetrating glaucoma surgeries, highlighting the need for more robust, long-term studies to guide clinical decisions.

This study found that in deep sclerectomy patients with flat blebs, a higher internal intrascleral bleb correlated with lower eye pressure, highlighting its role in glaucoma control.

Injecting hyaluronic acid to create an intrascleral canal in porcine eyes significantly increased outflow facility. This suggests a promising new surgical approach to lower intraocular pressure in glaucoma.

Deep sclerectomy with collagen implant effectively lowered IOP long-term in exfoliative glaucoma, reducing medication needs and offering a viable surgical option for these patients.

Ten-year follow-up of deep sclerectomy with collagen implant showed effective, long-term intraocular pressure control in open-angle glaucoma with few complications, reducing medication needs.

Mendrinos Efstratios, Mermoud André, Shaarawy Tarek

Nonpenetrating glaucoma surgeries offer a safer alternative to traditional surgery by enhancing natural outflow. While safer, their efficacy compared to full trabeculectomy remains debated, impacting clinical adoption.

Bacterial keratitis, like *S. aureus*, can occur early after nonpenetrating glaucoma surgery, as shown in one case. Clinicians should recognize this as a potential postoperative complication.

Sarodia Usman, Shaarawy Tarek, Barton Keith

Nonpenetrating glaucoma surgery offers better safety but potentially higher long-term pressure than trabeculectomy; its evolving efficacy and longevity remain uncertain compared to modified trabeculectomy.

Nguyen Christophe, Boldea Radu Christian, Roy Sylvain, Shaarawy Tarek, Uffer Sylvie, Mermoud André

This rabbit study compared two collagen implants for deep sclerectomy, finding both effectively lowered IOP by promoting drainage vessel growth, with flat implants showing slightly better performance.

Mansouri Kaweh, Shaarawy Tarek, Wedrich Andreas, Mermoud André

This study compared PMMA and collagen implants in deep sclerectomy, finding PMMA offered similar IOP reduction and safety. This makes PMMA a promising, affordable alternative for glaucoma surgery.

Shaarawy Tarek, Mansouri Kaweh, Schnyder Corinne, Ravinet Emile, Achache Farid, Mermoud André

Deep sclerectomy with collagen implant effectively lowered intraocular pressure long-term (96 months) in glaucoma patients, showing good success rates and reduced medication, with few severe complications.

This study compared deep sclerectomy with trabeculectomy, finding both effectively lowered IOP, but deep sclerectomy had fewer early complications. This suggests it's a safer alternative for glaucoma management.
