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.

Sub-Tenon triamcinolone in pediatric patients showed a favorable safety profile, with low rates of temporary ocular hypertension and cataract, requiring no glaucoma treatment or surgery.

For JOAG patients failing primary trabeculectomy, second trabeculectomy and GDDs offer similar success, but second trabeculectomies required fewer medications, guiding treatment choice.

This study found that 1 in 6 childhood glaucoma eyes underwent surgery, nearly all used medication, and treatment varied by glaucoma type, age, and specialist, impacting surgical likelihood.

This study of Thai JOAG found thick corneas and no family history predicted surgery. Trabeculectomy was common, but half needed additional surgery within 10 years, highlighting the chronic nature.

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.

KDB goniotomy, alone or with cataract surgery, effectively lowered IOP and medication use for various glaucoma severities over 18 months, offering a safe, less invasive surgical option.

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.

This study on malignant glaucoma found earlier vitrectomy may shorten recovery. Nd:YAG laser and oral CAIs can improve IOP, but recovery time for vision and pressure often exceeds anatomic resolution.

This study found corneal hysteresis correlated better with visual field damage (MD) than with SD-OCT structural optic nerve parameters in glaucoma patients, suggesting its primary relevance for functional assessment.
