Long-term results of deep sclerectomy in normal-tension glaucoma.

In NTG, long-term significant IOP reduction can be achieved with deep sclerectomy with a low incidence of sight-threatening complications.

Ab Interno Trabeculotomy: Key Prognostic Factors.

Previous SLT and AL over 23.82 mm reduce survival after AbIT.

Prevalence of MYOC risk variants for glaucoma in different populations.

We found 13 missense and 5 loss-of-function (LOF) reported variants in MYOC that were both probable pathogenic or risk variants and listed in gnomAD.

Diabetes mellitus and risk of open-angle glaucoma-A population-based follow-up study.

In our longitudinal population-based study, we found a modest decrease in the risk of OAG for individuals with DM.

Association of APOE Haplotypes With Common Age-Related Ocular Diseases in 412,171 Individuals.

Our results support prior evidence of the inverse association of APOE ε4 with glaucoma, but the association was weaker than for AMD.

The Finnish current care guideline for open-angle glaucoma.

This article is an English translation of the 4th Finnish Current Care Guideline for diagnostics, treatment and follow-up of primary open-angle glaucoma, normal-tension glaucoma and pseudoexfoliative glaucoma.

Endophthalmitis and blebitis following deep sclerectomy and trabeculectomy with routine use of mitomycin C.

Cumulative incidence for BAI was low despite routine use of high-dose MMC.

Risk of glaucoma after vitreoretinal surgery - Findings from a population-based cohort study.

Vitreoretinal surgery was associated with an increased glaucoma risk; the risk being related to the complexity of vitrectomy. Long-term systemic statin therapy may decrease glaucoma risk, while diabetes had no association.

Incidence of glaucoma filtration surgery from disease onset of open-angle glaucoma.

This study characterized the treatment path of OAG from diagnosis to surgical intervention refining the role of GFS among glaucoma therapies.

Analysis of glaucoma genes in Finnish patients with juvenile open-angle glaucoma.

The frequency of pathogenic variants in previously known glaucoma-associated genes is low in Finnish patients with JOAG.

Intraocular Pressure Peaks After Suprachoroidal Stent Implantation.

Suprachoroidal stenting in a heterogenous clinical population resulted in a high incidence of sudden IOP peaks with a low success rate.

Intravenous Hypertonic Saline to Lower Intraocular Pressure in Ocular Hypertension and Primary Open-angle and Exfoliation Glaucoma.

The median baseline IOP was 24 mm Hg (range, 24 to 30 mm Hg), 26.5 mm Hg (range, 24 to 30 mm Hg), and 26 mm Hg (range, 24 to 30 mm Hg) in OHT, POAG, and ExG patients, respectively.

The incidence of serious complications after selective laser trabeculoplasty.

After SLT, the number of complications was low, with only one permanent vision deterioration after 6081 treatments.

Corneal tomography and endothelial cell density after Paul glaucoma implant surgery.

PGI surgery did not induce progressive changes in corneal astigmatism or pachymetry during the first postoperative year.

Intravenous hypertonic saline to reduce intraocular pressure: the effect of splitting the bolus.

Splitting the bolus did not reduce pain associated with IVHTS. Single bolus is consequently recommended.

Statin use and the reoperation rates in glaucoma filtration surgery - population-based cohort study.

Systemic statin therapy among surgically treated OAG patients had no impact on secondary surgery rates following DS, TRE or GDD implantation.
