Outcomes of Descemet-Stripping Endothelial Keratoplasty in 52 Eyes With Iridocorneal Endothelial Syndrome.

In this study, DSEK had a success rate of ∼60% at 5 years.

Is Ahmed Glaucoma Valve Consistent in Performance?

The device showed functionality like a valve. The resistance during priming did not affect opening and closing pressures of the AGV. This study showed variable in vitro performance of the AGV.

Fifteen-Year Incidence Rate of Primary Angle Closure Disease in the Andhra Pradesh Eye Disease Study.

This study reports long-term incidence of PACD from rural India. It has implications for eye health care policies, strategies, and planning.

Comparison of Rebound Tonometry and Handheld Applanation Tonometry in Pediatric Glaucoma with Clear and Scarred Corneas.

Modifications to Combined Trabeculectomy and Manual Small Incision Cataract Surgery: Outcomes and Adaptability in Resource-constrained Areas.

We present a straightforward, yet effective technique of combined cataract and glaucoma surgery. The technique has a potential for wider applicability, especially in the underserved regions of the world.

Conversion of Flow-restrictive Ahmed Glaucoma Valve to a Nonrestrictive Drainage Implant by Slicing the Valve Leaflets: An In Vitro Study.

It was possible to convert the flow-restrictive AGV into a non-flow-restrictive device by destroying the functionality of the valve leaflets. The pressure of the AGVs was similar to AADI after destroying its valve functionality.

Incidence of primary open angle glaucoma in the Andhra Pradesh Eye Disease Study (APEDS).

We report the long-term incidence of POAG in rural India. A longitudinal change in IOP, specifically a less pronounced reduction in IOP with increasing age, was a novel risk factor.

A Simplified (Screening) Approach to Check the Calibration Status of the Goldmann Applanation Tonometer.

The screening criteria of calibration error within ±1 mm Hg at the 0 mm Hg testing level seem to be clinically useful to detect GAT with an acceptable calibration error as per the APGS guideline.

Outcomes of Primary Trabeculectomy With Mitomycin-C in Glaucoma Secondary to Iridocorneal Endothelial Syndrome.

Primary trabeculectomy with MMC offers moderate surgical success in patients with ICE syndrome. Maintaining long-term IOP control and corneal clarity in these eyes is a big challenge.

The Prevalence of Pseudoexfoliation and the Long-term Changes in Eyes With Pseudoexfoliation in a South Indian Population.

Prevalence of PEX was higher in rural population and baseline OHT was a significant factor for conversion to glaucoma.

Six-year incidence of visually significant age-related cataract: the Chennai eye disease incidence study.

A significant proportion of the population developed visually significant age-related cataract at 6 years. Incident visually significant cataract was significantly greater for the rural cohort between 50 and 69 years old.

Comparison of Cataract Surgery Alone Versus Cataract Surgery Combined With Trabeculectomy in the Management of Phacomorphic Glaucoma.

In our cohort of phacomorphic glaucoma presenting within 4 weeks of onset, cataract surgery and combined surgery resulted in similar IOP control at 6 months.

Reference Standard Test and the Diagnostic Ability of Spectral Domain Optical Coherence Tomography in Glaucoma.

Diagnostic parameters of SDOCT that was significantly affected by reference standard was the specificity, which was greater with optic disc classification as the reference standard.

Six-Year Incidence and Baseline Risk Factors for Pseudoexfoliation in a South Indian Population: The Chennai Eye Disease Incidence Study.

In 6 years, pseudoexfoliation developed in 2.03% of the population. Rural and urban incidence was significantly different.

Six-year incidence of ocular hypertension in a South Indian population: the Chennai eye disease incidence study.

A significant proportion of this normal population converted to OHT. A higher incidence of conversion was seen in the rural population.

The ISNT rule in glaucoma: revisiting with spectral domain optical coherence tomography.

Neuroretinal rim rules, as determined by SDOCT, do not allow robust differentiation of glaucomatous from non-glaucomatous discs.

Atypical birefringence pattern and the diagnostic ability of scanning laser polarimetry with enhanced corneal compensation in glaucoma.

Diagnostic performances of TSNIT and inferior average RNFL parameters with ECC protocol of SLP were significantly influenced by TSS even when the TSS values were within the acceptable limits.

Role of visual field reliability indices in ruling out glaucoma.

This study suggests that FN response rates have an effect on the ability of automated VF assessments to rule out glaucoma.

Comparing spectral-domain optical coherence tomography and standard automated perimetry to diagnose glaucomatous optic neuropathy.

Most of the RNFL and GCC parameters of SDOCT had better sensitivities and negative LRs to diagnose GON compared with SAP.
