Validity of Algorithms to Identify Patients With Glaucoma Using the Japanese Claims Data.

Diagnostic or antiglaucoma drug records in the Japanese claims data were useful for identifying patients with glaucoma. Researchers should select identification algorithms based on the study design.

Contributing factors for intraocular pressure control in patients with mostly normal-tension glaucoma after initial Ex-PRESS drainage device implantation.

The implementation of bleb needling after Ex-PRESS surgery in the late postoperative period was suggested to be the main risk factor for achieving lower IOP.
