XEN Gel Stent in Pseudoexfoliative Glaucoma: 2-Year Results of a Prospective Evaluation.

The XEN gel implant as a standalone or combined procedure demonstrated similar efficacy and safety results in PEXG and POAG eyes.

A Prospective Analysis of iStent Inject Microstent Positioning: Schlemm Canal Dilatation and Intraocular Pressure Correlations.

This study highlights the value of AS-OCT in exploring the positioning of trabecular bypass devices such as the iStent inject.

Impact of Phacoemulsification Combined with XEN Gel Stent Implantation on Corneal Endothelial Cell Density: 2-Year Results.

Thirty-two eyes of 23 patients (mean age=76.0±7.9 y, 60% female) underwent standalone phacoemulsification (n=15) or combined XEN surgery (n=17) and had an ECD both at baseline and 24-month postoperatively.

Anterior Chamber XEN Gel Stent Movements: The Impact on Corneal Endothelial Cell Density.

2% of the annual endothelial loss observed by Tan and colleagues in patients with a Baerveldt tube (4. 54% annual decrease).

Chronic Intraocular Inflammation as a Risk Factor for XEN Gel Stent Occlusion: A Case of Microscopic Examination of a Fibrin-obstructed XEN Stent.

This case report shows that fibrin formation could be an important factor in XEN gel stent obstruction, even in initially successfully filtering stents.

A Prospective Analysis of iStent Inject Microstent Implantation: Surgical Outcomes, Endothelial Cell Density, and Device Position at 12 Months.

This study demonstrates the IOP-lowering and medication-lowering potential of iStent inject surgery in primary open-angle and pseudoexfoliative glaucoma.

XEN 45 Gel Stent Implantation in Open Angle Glaucoma: 5-Year Results of a Prospective Study.

At 5 years, XEN gel stent implantation was a safe procedure and achieved clinically meaningful IOP and medication reduction.

Pericardium Patch Graft (Tutoplast) for Bleb Repair and Bleb Remodelling After Nonpenetrating Filtering Surgery: 6-Month Outcomes.

Pericardium patch graft (Tutoplast) is a safe and effective adjuvant for bleb revision due to bleb dysesthesia of leaking filtering bleb after nonpenetrating filtering surgery.

Iridocorneal Angle Assessment After Laser Iridotomy With Swept-source Optical Coherence Tomography.

SS-OCT ANTERION imaging can be used to reliably measure ACA before and after LPI. ACA, AOD, SSA, and TISA are all valid ACA measurement methods.

Bilateral XEN Stent Implantation: A Long-term Prospective Study of the Difference in Outcomes Between First-operated and Fellow Eyes.

The present study demonstrated a strong association between first-operated eyes and fellow eyes following XEN gel stent implantation, in terms of surgical outcomes and IOP reduction.

EyeWatch Rescue of Refractory Hypotony After Baerveldt Drainage Device Implantation: Description of a New Technique.

Postoperatively, the IOP was successfully controlled through fine adjustments of the eyeWatch opening position, until the last visit 8 months after the rescue, with complete resolution of the choroidal detachment and without any medications.

Congenital Refractory Glaucoma: A New Ophthalmic Association of Kabuki Syndrome and its Management With Glaucoma Drainage Devices.

In our opinion, the presence of high levels of inflammation perioperatively and postoperatively is an indication for primary glaucoma drainage device surgery given the high risk of bleb scarring resulting in recurrent surgical revisions.

Bilateral Nonpenetrating Deep Sclerectomy: Difference in Outcomes Between First- and Second-Operated Eyes at 24 Months.

The present study demonstrated a strong association between first-operated and second-operated eyes after DS, in terms of surgical outcomes and IOP reduction.

Effects of Sex Hormones on Ocular Blood Flow and Intraocular Pressure in Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma: The Effect of Orgasm and Sexual Activity.
