Association of Long-term Ambient Black Carbon Exposure and Oxidative Stress Allelic Variants With Intraocular Pressure in Older Men.

Ambient black carbon exposure may be a risk factor for increased intraocular pressure in individuals susceptible to other biological oxidative stressors.

Eight-Year Incidence of Open-Angle Glaucoma in the Tema Eye Survey.

The incidence of OAG is higher in this population than reported in nonblack populations outside Africa.

Scheduled Postoperative Ripcord Removal in Baerveldt 350 Implants: A Prospective, Randomized Trial.

This study suggests that scheduled ripcord removal is correlated with similar overall recovery in comparison with spontaneous tube opening.

The Short-term Effect of Subtenon Sponge Application Versus Subtenon Irrigation of Mitomycin-C on the Outcomes of Trabeculectomy With Ex-PRESS Glaucoma Filtration Device: A Randomized Trial.

Application of subtenon MMC by irrigation seems to provide improved short-term outcomes compared with application with sponges.

The Effect of Suture Wick Technique on Early Intraocular Pressure Control After Nonvalved (Baerveldt 350) Glaucoma Drainage Device Surgery.

Baerveldt implantation with vicryl wick placement can safely lower IOP and medication burden but does not seem to offer additional utility to fenestration without vicryl wick.

The Effect of Bimatoprost Implant on Glaucoma Patients: An Observational Study.

The bimatoprost implant may reduce the need for topical IOP-lowering agents over a 1-year period, especially in mild to moderate-stage glaucoma.

Trabecular Microbypass Stent and Phacoemulsification in African American Patients With Open-angle Glaucoma: Outcomes and Effect of Prior Laser Trabeculoplasty.

In this cohort, there was a significant decrease in IOP and medication usage 1 year after iStent/phacoemulsification. iStent/phacoemulsification is an effective and safe treatment option in African American patients with glaucoma.

Intracanalicular Dexamethasone Insert or Topical Prednisolone Following iStent and Hydrus Surgery for Glaucoma.

There was no statistically significant difference in the proportion of patients who had zero anterior chamber cell at postoperative month 1 between groups receiving intracanalicular dexamethasone insert or topical prednisolone.

Effect of Nylon Wick Technique on Early Intraocular Pressure Control in Nonvalved Aqueous Shunt Surgery.

The use of 2 nylon wicks with fenestrations in nonvalved aqueous shunt device implantation can significantly lower IOP and medication burden while awaiting the dissolution of the ligature suture.

Incidence of Glaucoma Progression and Rate of Visual Field Deterioration in a Cohort of Urban Ghanaians.

The incidence and rate of visual field progression are high in this longitudinal study of Ghanaian subjects with glaucoma. The findings may have important clinical and public health policy ramifications.

Risk Factors for Corneal Striae in Eyes After Glaucoma Surgery.

ACS were associated with a steeper cornea, induced astigmatism, and higher CH, suggesting a relationship between striae, corneal shape, and the cornea's ability to resist deformations at lower IOP.

Glaucoma Surgery SOS: Emergency Department Utilization Greater among Younger and First-Time Surgical Patients with Glaucoma.

Emergency department visits after glaucoma surgery are infrequent, yet more often seen in younger patients or those undergoing their first glaucoma surgery.

Glaucoma Surgery: From the Tried and True to the Novel and New.

Multicenter randomized clinical trials have provided valuable information to guide the surgical care of glaucoma patients. FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE(S): The author(s) have no proprietary or commercial interest in any materials discussed in this article.
