Spectral-domain OCT progression was significantly more common than VF progression in glaucomatous eyes classified with mild and severe disease. Structure and function should be monitored closely across the entire spectrum of glaucoma severity.

Lower preoperative IOP, neovascular glaucoma, Ahmed implantation, and younger age were predictors of tube shunt failure. This Study provides the largest prospectively collected dataset on tube shunt surgery.

Outcomes of conventional phacoemulsification versus femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery in eyes with Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy.

Compared with conventional phacoemulsification, femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery did not lower the rate of corneal decompensation in eyes with mild to moderate Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy.

Treatment Outcomes of Slow Coagulation Transscleral Cyclophotocoagulation In Pseudophakic Patients with Medically Uncontrolled Glaucoma.

Slow coagulation TSCPC has good efficiency, especially in patients with baseline IOP >21 mm Hg, and safety profile as an initial surgical intervention in pseudophakic patients with glaucoma.

Treatment Outcomes of Primary Transscleral Cyclophotocoagulation.

Continuous-wave TSCPC was effective in lowering IOP in glaucoma patients without prior incisional ocular surgery whose disease was recalcitrant to medical therapy, particularly those with baseline IOP of more than 21 mmHg.

Comparing Treatment Outcomes from the Tube Versus Trabeculectomy and Primary Tube Versus Trabeculectomy Studies.

Differences in patient characteristics between the PTVT and TVT Studies, including the level of preoperative intraocular pressure, contributed to the differences in surgical failure rates in each trial.

Head-down Posture in Glaucoma Suspects Induces Changes in IOP, Systemic Pressure, and PERG That Predict Future Loss of Optic Nerve Tissue.

Baseline PERG, IOP, and systemic blood pressure, together with their changes upon HDT, may have predictive value for future loss of optic nerve tissue in GS.

Next Generation PERG Method: Expanding the Response Dynamic Range and Capturing Response Adaptation.

The PERGx high signal-to-noise ratio may allow meaningful recording in advanced stages of optic nerve disorders. In addition, it quantifies response adaptation, which may be selectively altered in glaucoma and optic neuropathy.

Visual Field Outcomes in the Tube Versus Trabeculectomy Study.

Slow rates of VF loss were observed after randomized surgical treatment in the TVT Study, but no significant difference in the rate of VF loss was seen after tube shunt implantation and trabeculectomy with MMC.

Tube Versus Trabeculectomy IRISRegistry 1-Year Composite Outcome Analysis with Comparisons to the Randomized Controlled Trial.

Our results were different from those in the TVT RCT. Possible reasons include non-Baerveldt tubes, greater severity among tube eyes, and practice patterns that reflect real-world data, which are different than those in RCTs.

The Tube Versus Trabeculectomy IRIS® Registry Study: Cohort Selection and Follow-up and Comparisons to the Randomized Controlled Trial.

The TVT IRIS Registry cohort had several significant treatment group differences at baseline, whereas there had been none in the TVT RCT cohort.

Is Obstructive Sleep Apnea Associated With Progressive Glaucomatous Optic Neuropathy?

This study does not support a relationship between OSAS and glaucomatous progression. No correlation was observed between OSAS severity and rate of VF loss.

Separation and thickness measurements of superficial and deep slabs of the retinal nerve fiber layer in healthy and glaucomatous eyes.

Glaucomatous RNFL thinning is predominantly detected within a slab with thickness greater than the mode.

Effectiveness of Single-Digit IOP Targets on Decreasing Global and Localized Visual Field Progression After Filtration Surgery in Eyes With Progressive Normal-Tension Glaucoma.

Achieving single-digit IOP targets with filtration surgery has a beneficial effect on reducing global and localized rates of VF progression in NTG eyes with progression at low IOP.

Similar rates of surgical success and postoperative complications were observed in patients undergoing trabeculectomy with MMC and in those undergoing Baerveldt implantation during 3 years of follow-up.

Postoperative Complications in the Ahmed Baerveldt Comparison Study During Five Years of Follow-up.

Long-term rates of vision-threatening complications and complications resulting in reoperation were higher in the Baerveldt Glaucoma Implant than in the Ahmed Glaucoma Valve group over 5 years of follow-up.
