Preservative-free versus preserved glaucoma eye drops and occurrence of glaucoma surgery. A retrospective study based on the French national health insurance information system, 2008-2016.

We found an association between exposure to glaucoma eye drop preservatives and the prevalence of further glaucoma surgery.

National Health Care data system analysis of glaucoma surgery activity in France in 2016.

This study demonstrates that surgeons performing glaucoma surgeries are often older. It is necessary to take note of the country's educational capacity to ensure that the number of ophthalmological surgeons remains adapted to demand.

Ocular and General Determinants of Intraocular Pressure: The Two-Continent Eye Study.

Among numerous ocular and systemic factors influencing IOP readings (with a relative low correlation coefficient), corneal curvature radius was one of the main ocular determinants.

European Glaucoma Society - A guide on surgical innovation for glaucoma.

This guide from the European Glaucoma Society offers crucial advice on surgical innovation for glaucoma, emphasizing rigorous evaluation and patient safety. It promotes responsible development and adoption of new surgical techniques to improve patient outcomes.

Multicenter clinical trial of high-intensity focused ultrasound treatment in glaucoma patients without previous filtering surgery.

The UC(3) procedure seems to be an effective and well-tolerated method to reduce IOP in patients with open-angle glaucoma without previous filtering surgery.

Cyclocoagulation of the ciliary bodies by high-intensity focused ultrasound: a 12-month multicenter study.

The new miniaturized HIFU EyeOP1 delivery device seems to be effective in decreasing IOP in patients with refractory glaucoma. The technology offers a good safety profile. (ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT01338467.).
