The IOP and glaucoma medication reduction, success rates, and incidence of postoperative complications were comparable in Ahmed and Baerveldt groups.

Early Experience With Ahmed Clear Path Glaucoma Drainage Device in Childhood Glaucoma.

The ACP glaucoma drainage device provided good short-term IOP control and technical advantages for implantation for pediatric eyes were observed.

Trabeculectomy and GDDs demonstrated comparable effectiveness in reducing IOP or glaucoma medication reduction in UG.

Initial Results of the Paul Ahmed Comparison (PAC) Study in Refractory Childhood Glaucoma.

At one year postoperatively, the IOP reduction, reduction of glaucoma medications, success rates, and rate of complications were comparable between both groups.

Incidence of Uveitis Following Initiation of Prostaglandin Analogs versus Other Glaucoma Medications: A Study from the Sight Outcomes Research Collaborative Repository.

The use of PGAs was not associated with higher odds of developing uveitis compared with other classes of topical glaucoma medications.

Slow-Coagulation Transscleral Cyclophotocoagulation Laser Treatment for Medically Uncontrolled Secondary Aphakic Adult Glaucoma.

Slow-coagulation CW-TSCPC is an efficacious, relatively safe, and non-incisional laser treatment option as an initial surgical glaucoma management choice, in secondary aphakic adult glaucoma that is medically uncontrolled.

Racial and Ethnic Differences in the Association Between Statin Use and the Risk of Ocular Hypertension and Open-Angle Glaucoma.

Statin use was associated with a reduced risk of OHT and/or OAG in most racial and ethnic groups, with differences in timing and magnitude of effects.

Continuous Wave Transscleral Cyclophotocoagulation and Endoscopic Cyclophotocoagulation in Childhood Glaucoma: A Meta-Analysis.

Both TS-CPC and ECP were effective in reducing the IOP and glaucoma medications in childhood glaucoma. Multiple treatment sessions were required.

Neurotrophic Keratopathy After Slow Coagulation Transscleral Cyclophotocoagulation.

NK is a rare but a vision-threatening complication that can develop after SC-TSCPC in patients with risk factors for decreased corneal sensation.

Distribution of Port-Wine Birthmarks and Glaucoma Outcomes in Sturge-Weber Syndrome.

Lower eyelid and choroidal angiomas were associated with glaucoma diagnosis, suggesting a spatial relationship with SWS findings.

A Comparative Study of Ocular Surface Disease in Childhood Glaucoma.

In this first study to comprehensively evaluate OSD in patients with CG, a significantly greater incidence of OSD signs and symptoms was found in patients with CG compared with a healthy population.

Clinical Factors Impacting Outcomes From Failed Trabeculectomy Leading to Glaucoma Drainage Device Implantation and Subsequent Penetrating Keratoplasty.

Nearly half of the corneal grafts are clear at the last long-term follow-up.

The effect of treatment of primary congenital glaucoma on meibomian glands and tear film.

In this first study to evaluate MG and tear film parameters in treated PCG, significant differences were observed in the MG morphology and tear film parameters of eyes with treated PCG compared to the eyes of healthy children.

Fractal Dimension Analysis of Peripapillary Microvasculature in Primary Congenital Glaucoma.

PCG was associated with lower vascular parameters in the vitreo-retina (large retinal vessels) and ILM-NFL (RPC) layers as detected by OCTA FD.

Publication rate of abstracts presented at American Glaucoma Society annual meetings.

Association Between Pseudoexfoliation Glaucoma and Central Serous Chorioretinopathy.

PXG is associated with an increased hazard of developing CSCR compared with POAG.

Adverse Events and Intraocular Pressure-Lowering Effect of Topical 0.5% Apraclonidine in Childhood Glaucoma: A Retrospective Single-Center Study.

Topical apraclonidine use demonstrated a low rate of reported adverse events and was associated with clinically meaningful IOP reduction as an adjunctive treatment in childhood glaucoma.

Metformin Use and Risk of Glaucoma: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

Across observational cohorts, metformin use was not associated with a reduced glaucoma risk in crude analyses; however, sensitivity analyses suggested a possible protective effect.

Outcomes of the Ahmed clearpath glaucoma drainage device in glaucoma: a systematic review.

Diabetic Retinopathy as a Risk Factor for Ocular Hypertension or Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma in a United States-based Cohort Study.

DR is significantly associated with OHT and POAG, particularly in T1DM. These findings emphasize the need for vigilant screening and comprehensive management of diabetic patients with coexisting DR.

Association Between Chronic Oral Nitrate Use and the Risk of Ocular Hypertension and Open-Angle Glaucoma.

The use of oral nitrates was associated with a reduced risk of OAG and POAG over long-term follow-up, while no effect was observed on OHT development.
