Five-Year, Prospective, Randomized, Multi-Surgeon Trial of Two Trabecular Bypass Stents versus Prostaglandin for Newly Diagnosed Open-Angle Glaucoma.

This prospective randomized trial demonstrates 5-year effectiveness and safety of 2 trabecular bypass stents in patients with newly diagnosed, treatment-naive POAG, with comparably favorable outcomes as topical prostaglandin.

Pooled Efficacy and Safety Profile of Netarsudil Ophthalmic Solution 0.02% in Patients With Open-angle Glaucoma or Ocular Hypertension.

Once-daily netarsudil resulted in IOP lowering that was noninferior to twice-daily timolol, with tolerable ocular AEs that were generally mild and self-resolving.

24-Hour Intraocular Pressure Control with Fixed-dose Combination Brinzolamide 1%/Brimonidine 0.2%: A Multicenter, Randomized Trial.

This large, multicenter study of 24-hour IOP control with BBFC met its primary end point; BBFC demonstrated significantly superior 24-hour IOP-lowering efficacy versus vehicle after 4 weeks of 3-times-daily treatment in subjects with OAG or…

A Randomized, Controlled Comparison of NCX 470 (0.021%, 0.042%, and 0.065%) and Latanoprost 0.005% in Patients With Open-angle Glaucoma or Ocular Hypertension: The Dolomites Study.

All concentrations of NCX 470 resulted in significant reductions of mean diurnal IOP.

Are Disposable and Standard Gonioscopy Lenses Comparable?

We conclude that there is no significant difference in quality of images produced with standard versus disposable gonioscopy lenses.

Corneal Haze as Prognostic Indicator of Intraocular Pressure in Primary Congenital Glaucoma.

Eyes with PCG-related corneal haze generally presented more severely than did those without haze, but postmanagement outcomes may be similar to those in eyes without haze.

Intraocular pressure outcomes after endophthalmitis associated with glaucoma surgery.

IOP control after resolution of endophthalmitis in patients with previous glaucoma surgery was maintained in only 25% of cases. Half the patients required additional glaucoma surgery.
