The Global Extent of Undetected Glaucoma in Adults: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

Undetected glaucoma increases the risk of vision impairment, which leads to detrimental effects on the quality-of-life and socioeconomic well-being of those affected.

Anterior segment imaging in minimally invasive glaucoma surgery - A systematic review.

Anterior segment imaging has been used to identify procedural complications, provide objective information on implant location in relation to surrounding anatomy, assess the post-implantation structural impact of MIGS devices and manage bleb failure and scarring.

Combined Phacoemulsification and Hydrus Microstent Implantation in Asian Eyes With Moderate-to-Severe Normal Tension Glaucoma-12-Month Outcomes.

Combined phacoemulsification and Hydrus Microstent implantation were effective in reducing medication burden in Asian eyes with moderate to severe NTG, up to 12 months postoperatively.

Comparison of Peripapillary Choroidal Thickness Between Primary Open-angle Glaucoma, Normal Tension Glaucoma, and Normal Eyes: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

Glaucomatous eyes appear to have significantly reduced PPCT compared with normal healthy eyes.

Oral Ibuprofen is Associated With Reduced Likelihood of Early Bleb Failure After Trabeculectomy in High-Risk Glaucoma Patients.

Early adjunctive oral ibuprofen administered to individuals at high risk of posttrabeculectomy scarring is associated with greater IOP reductions and reduced likelihood of bleb failure.

Schlemm's Bidirectional Fluid Wave and Luminal Blood Reflux as Novel Intraoperative Signs Confirming Optimal Placement of the iStent.

The identified signs are useful, feasible, and reproducible indicators of accurate iStent placement. Future studies may evaluate the application of these confirmatory maneuvers in diverse clinical contexts and further establish a correlation with clinical outcomes.

Bleb characteristics following minimally invasive bleb surgeries in relation to surgical success using the anterior segment optical coherence tomography - a systematic review.

ASOCT-based bleb imaging provides valuable structural insights that correlate with surgical success following MIBS. Further research with standardized imaging protocols may be needed to better refine bleb evaluation and examine longer-term surgical outcomes following MIBS.

Assessing the value of the water drinking test in glaucoma-a systematic review and meta-analysis.

In conclusion, there was a strong positive correlation between IOP peak measurements from the WDT and diurnal IOP monitoring in glaucoma patients.
