Discriminatory Power of Superficial Vessel Density and Prelaminar Vascular Flow Index in Eyes With Glaucoma and Ocular Hypertension and Normal Eyes.

The vessel density and PLFI/UA decreased significantly in glaucomatous eyes. The vessel density was more efficient than the PLFI/UA for differentiating glaucoma and OH from normal eyes.

Association of the CYP39A1 G204E Genetic Variant with Increased Risk of Glaucoma and Blindness in Patients with Exfoliation Syndrome.

Patients with XFS carrying the CYP39A1 G204E mutation had significantly increased risk of blindness, higher occurrence of XFG, and more severe glaucoma compared with patients with XFS without any CYP39A1 mutation.

Different patterns in the corneal endothelial cell loss after pars plana and pars limbal insertion of the Baerveldt glaucoma implant.

CE loss in the PL and PP cohorts was biphasic and unidirectional, respectively.

Consequences of Clot Formation and Hyphema Post-Internal Trabeculotomy for Glaucoma.

After internal trabeculotomy, the sequelae of concurrent clot formation and L≥2 hyphema in the anterior chamber were more severe than those of simple hyphema without clots. Clot formation negatively affected postoperative IOP.

Ocular Hypotension and Epiretinal Membrane as Risk Factors for Visual Deterioration Following Glaucoma Filtering Surgery.

Postsurgical hypotension at 1 week was significantly associated with mid-term, but not long-term, postsurgical VA loss.

Effect of a Fenestration Between an Intrascleral Lake and Supraciliary Space on Deep Sclerectomy.

Both the scleral fenestration and bleb formation lower IOP, whereas the scleral fenestration suppresses bleb formation in patients treated with DS.
