Laser Peripheral Iridotomy in Primary Angle Closure: A Report by the American Academy of Ophthalmology.

Laser peripheral iridotomy increases angle width in all stages of primary angle closure and has a good safety profile.

Spectral-Domain OCT: Helping the Clinician Diagnose Glaucoma: A Report by the American Academy of Ophthalmology.

Structural glaucomatous damage can be detected by SD OCT. Optic nerve, RNFL, and macular parameters can help the clinician distinguish the anatomic changes that are associated with patients with glaucoma when compared with normal subjects.

The Effect of Anti-Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Agents on Intraocular Pressure and Glaucoma: A Report by the American Academy of Ophthalmology.

Intravitreal injection of anti-VEGF agents results in an immediate and transient increase in IOP.

Swept-Source OCT for Evaluating the Lamina Cribrosa: A Report by the American Academy of Ophthalmology.

Imaging of the lamina cribrosa using SS-OCT has demonstrated that the lamina cribrosa is likely biomechanically active and that significant changes occur in glaucoma.

Histologic Analysis of Trabecular Meshwork Obtained From Kahook Dual Blade Goniotomy.

This pilot study demonstrates that tissue obtained during KDB goniotomy has a high yield of containing TM compared to reported yield of TM in specimens collected from traditional ab externo trabeculectomy (71% vs 20%, respectively).

Current Trends in Tonometry and Tonometer Tip Disinfection.

The majority of AGS providers follow current CDC tonometer disinfection guidelines by shifting to disposable Goldmann tonometer tips.

Delayed Suprachoroidal Hemorrhage After Xen45 Gel Stent.

This is the first report of a delayed presentation of SCH in the absence of hypotony after ab externo implantation of the Xen45 device.

A Health-Related Quality of Life Measure for Patients Who Undergo Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery.

This study supports using the GOS for ophthalmic procedures such as MIGS. Further evaluation of the GOS in different patient subgroups and clinical settings is needed.

Supraciliary Microstent Revision in a Patient With Corneal Edema and Primary Open Angle Glaucoma: A Case Report.

Postoperatively, the implant was flush with the iris root with a patent lumen.

The Effect of Phacoemulsification on Intraocular Pressure in Glaucoma Patients: A Report by the American Academy of Ophthalmology.

Phacoemulsification typically results in small, moderate, and marked reductions of IOP and medications for patients with POAG, PXG, and PACG, respectively, and using 1 to 2 medications before surgery.

Refractive outcomes of combined cataract and glaucoma surgery.

Favorable refractive outcomes were achieved in the majority of patients despite the potential alteration of preoperative measurements and introduction of error into lens selection when using a combined approach.
