Goniotomy with a single-use dual blade: Short-term results.

Single-use dual blade goniotomy plus phacoemulsification resulted in a significant and sustained reduction in IOP and a decrease in glaucoma medications after 6 months of follow-up.

Goniotomy Using the Kahook Dual Blade in Severe and Refractory Glaucoma: 6-Month Outcomes.

Goniotomy with trabecular meshwork excision using the KDB could be an alternative surgery for severe or refractory glaucoma, significantly reducing IOP and medication use at 6 months, with a low rate of complications.

Detecting Visual Field Progression.

Short- and long-term fluctuations as well as inadequate testing frequency are limitations in visual field analysis for glaucomatous progression.

Assessment of Glaucomatous Damage After Boston Keratoprosthesis Implantation Based on Digital Planimetric Quantification of Visual Fields and Optic Nerve Head Imaging.

Clinicians should strive to vigilantly monitor for glaucoma despite the inherent difficulties in tonometry, optic nerve visualization and imaging, and visual field testing in KPro patients.

Glaucoma Care of Prison Inmates at an Academic Hospital.

Despite incarceration in prison, where medication administration and appointment attendance are theoretically controlled, the results of this study suggested that substantial medication and follow-up nonadherence exists among inmates.

Intraocular Pressure-Related Events After Anti-Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Therapy for Macular Edema Due to Central Retinal Vein Occlusion or Hemiretinal Vein Occlusion: SCORE2 Report 16 on a Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Clinical Trial.

Intravitreal anti-VEGF injections are used to treat some conditions associated with glaucoma, such as macular edema due to CRVO, and the rates of IOP-related events in this trial support monitoring IOP in eyes treated with…

Relating glaucomatous visual field loss to retinal oxygen delivery and metabolism.

Combined measurements of retinal blood flow and oxygen saturation in glaucomatous individuals suggest VF loss is associated with impaired oxygen delivery and augmented OEF.

M&S Smart System Contrast Sensitivity Measurements Compared With Standard Visual Function Measurements in Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma Patients.

The present study is the first to evaluate letter CS in glaucoma using the digital M&S Smart System II display.

Late Complications of Single-Piece Intraocular Lens Implantation in the Ciliary Sulcus.

Glaucoma Fellows-in-Training Recent Surgery Trends.

Since 2014, fellows are performing increasing numbers of MIGS procedures, whereas the total number of trabeculectomies and aqueous shunt surgeries performed each year remain similar, resulting in a net increase in total number of procedures performed per fellow each year.

Response: Goniotomy Using the Kahook Dual Blade in Severe and Refractory Glaucoma: 6-Month Outcomes.

A Prospective, Real-World, Multicenter Study to Support the Role of Ab-Interno Canaloplasty in Glaucoma Management.

In real-world clinical practice, iTrack canaloplasty significantly reduced IOP and medication burden with a favorable safety profile when performed alone or with phacoemulsification and in diverse glaucoma populations.

Outcomes of the Ahmed clearpath glaucoma drainage device in glaucoma: a systematic review.

Neutrophil Extracellular Trap Components Are Present in the Aqueous Humor of Glaucoma Patients.

Multiple levels of the inflammatory pathway are implicated in glaucoma, including inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β), T-cell mediators (IP-10), neutrophil chemoattractant (IL-8), NET-associated molecules (NGAL and eDNA), and the adaptive immune response (immunoglobulins IgM, IgG, and IgA).

Deadbolt cataract due to misplanted minishunt.
