European study of the efficacy of a cross-linked gel stent for the treatment of glaucoma.

Insertion of a cross-linked gel stent alone or combined with phacoemulsification might be effective and safe in the treatment of open-angle glaucoma, with a substantial reduction in IOP and number of medications.

Preparing the ocular surface for glaucoma filtration surgery: an unmet clinical need.

Moreover, we reported the most exploited measures to mitigate the OSD before surgery, the possible reasons underlying the absence of shared approaches, and the upcoming area of intervention to preserve the OS health during glaucoma management.

Macular versus nerve fibre layer versus optic nerve head imaging for diagnosing glaucoma at different stages of the disease: Multicenter Italian Glaucoma Imaging Study.

The diagnostic accuracy of MRW, pRNFL and macular analysis by Spectralis SD-OCT is overall good. MRW and pRNFL analysis performs statistically and clinically better than macular analysis to discriminate early glaucoma from healthy eyes.

Endothelial Cell Density After XEN Implant Surgery: Short-term Data From the Italian XEN Glaucoma Treatment Registry (XEN-GTR).

The mean ECD reduction 6 months after XEN implantation was low. The ECD reduction in the XEN+phaco group was larger than in the XEN-solo group but was similar to that observed in the phaco-solo group.

The effect of glaucoma treatment using high-intensity focused ultrasound on total and corneal astigmatism: a prospective multicentre study.

Ultrasound cycloplasty procedure is associated with increased corneal astigmatism. However, its impact on total refractive astigmatism is less pronounced.

Tear Meniscus Imaging by Anterior Segment-Optical Coherence Tomography in Medically Controlled Glaucoma.

AS-OCT permits a noninvasive and reliable tear meniscus imaging in medically controlled glaucoma, depicting the glaucoma-related ocular surface disease as a dry eye disease-like condition.

Long-term outcome of supraciliary gold micro shunt in refractory glaucoma.

A very low long-term survival rate of GMS in refractory glaucoma was found.

Effect of the Eye Tracking System on the Reproducibility of Measurements Obtained With Spectral-domain Optical Coherence Tomography in Glaucoma.

The reproducibility of peripapillary RNFL thicknesses acquired with OCT was excellent. The variability between OCT measurements did not decrease with the ETS activated.

Ultrasound Cyclo Plasty in Patients with Open Angle Glaucoma and High Myopia.

UCP seems to be an effective and well-tolerated strategy to lower IOP in glaucoma patients with high myopia.

Clinical recommendations for early identification of patients with open-angle glaucoma at higher risk of low adherence to topical treatment: An Italian Delphi consensus.

Taken together our results allow us to profile patients with glaucoma who will be more likely to show poor adherence to topical treatments.

Italian glaucoma virtual clinics: Developing a consensus for remote patient management.

This Delphi panel provides guidance for implementing glaucoma virtual clinics in Italy, establishing guidelines on patient selection, required assessments and staffing needs.

Correction: Managing the ocular surface after glaucoma filtration surgery: an orphan topic.

Managing the ocular surface after glaucoma filtration surgery: an orphan topic.

Clinicians are encouraged to routinely include the OS evaluation after GFS and to consider proper management when the occurrence of PGS-OSD worsen the patient's QOL or exert negative effects to the FB functionality.

A deep learning approach to investigate the filtration bleb functionality after glaucoma surgery: a preliminary study.

All considered metrics supported that the final DL model was able to discriminate functioning from failed FBs, with good accuracy.

Effectiveness and safety of XEN45 implant over 12 months of follow-up: data from the XEN-Glaucoma Treatment Registry.

Over 1-year follow-up, XEN45 alone or in combination with phacoemulsification, had comparable success rates and effectively and safely lowered IOP and the need for OHM.

Scleral Flap-Everting Suture for Glaucoma-filtering Surgery.

The use of an everting suture would eliminate the need to use procedures for lifting the flap that involve puncturing the conjunctiva and may cause hemorrhages and leakage and promote scarring.
