Reticular Epithelial Edema: An Uncommon Side Effect of ROCK/NET Inhibitor Netarsudil.

We report a patient with a history of a partially decompensated Descemet's stripping endothelial keratoplasty who develops reticular epithelial corneal edema after starting netarsudil.

Intraocular Pressure Elevation Compromises Retinal Ganglion Cell Light Adaptation.

These findings provide novel evidence that RGCs exhibit reduced light-dependent adaptation and increased excitability when IOP is elevated to low but not high levels.

Trabeculectomy Outcomes by Supervised Trainees in a Veterans Affairs Medical Center.

Among patients undergoing trabeculectomy by supervised residents or glaucoma fellows in a large Veterans Affairs Medical Center, IOP reduction was significant and similar to published studies.

Effects of Chronic and Acute Intraocular Pressure Elevation on Scotopic and Photopic Contrast Sensitivity in Mice.

It is possible that scotopic-specific retinal circuitry is altered preferentially by IOP elevation, and that changes in scotopic contrast sensitivity will assist with glaucoma detection. Brimonidine appears to prevent RGC loss via an IOP-independent mechanism.

Rapidly progressing glaucoma associated with monoclonal gammopathy.

An extensive systemic workup was performed which revealed a diagnosis of monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance.
