What Do We Really Know about the Effectiveness of Glaucoma Interventions?: An Overview of Systematic Reviews.

Most systematic reviews evaluating interventions for glaucoma are of poor reliability.

Influence of Sociodemographic Factors on Disease Characteristics and Vision-related Quality of Life in Primary Open-angle Glaucoma Patients: The Italian Primary Open Angle Glaucoma Study (IPOAGS).

Age and sex were significantly associated with almost all indicators of glaucoma severity at baseline. Other variables, such as employment, profession, and marital status were significantly associated with vision-related QoL scores.

The Glaucoma Italian Pediatric Study (GIPSy): 3-Year Results.

Latanoprost alone or in combination with dorzolamide is safe and highly effective in lowering IOP in children after surgery. Nonresponders were mainly patients with early presentation of the disease.

Latanoprost treatment differentially affects intraocular pressure readings obtained with three different tonometers.

Following a 3-month course of latanoprost, the apparent treatment-induced IOP reduction in previously naïve patients with POAG or OHT differed depending on the tonometer used.

The Glaucoma Italian Pediatric Study (GIPSy): 1-Year Results.

Latanoprost alone or in combination with dorzolamide is safe and highly effective in lowering IOP in children postsurgery. Nonresponders were mainly patients with early presentation of the disease.

The Effect of Phacoemulsification on the Intraocular Pressure of Patients With Open Angle Glaucoma: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

The findings of this systematic review and meta-analysis indicate that cataract surgery meaningfully lowers IOP in POAG, XFG/XFS, or OH 12 months after surgery.

Solitary Free-Floating Iris Cyst Associated With Bilateral Pigment Dispersion Syndrome: Report of a Case.

The etiology of free-floating iris cysts is unclear, but it is generally agreed that these masses are usually dislodged pigment epithelial cysts.

Subconjunctival injections of 5-fluorouracil for failing Ahmed glaucoma implants.

Changing from preserved, to preservative-free cyclosporine 0.1% enhanced triple glaucoma therapy: impact on ocular surface disease-a randomized controlled trial.

Changing from preserved to PF glaucoma medications improves ocular surface health and IOP control. Topical cyclosporine 0.1% further reverses GTR-OSD.

Health-related quality of life in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma. An Italian multicentre observational study.

In this large sample of Italians treated for POAG, disease severity was limited and HRQoL scores were high.

Needle Revision With 5-fluorouracil for the Treatment of Ahmed Glaucoma Valve Filtering Blebs: 5-Fluoruracil Needling Revision can be a Useful and Safe Tool in the Management of Failing Ahmed Glaucoma Valve Filtering Blebs.

Needling over the plate of an AGV supplemented with 5-FU is an effective and safe choice in a significant proportion of POAG patients with elevated IOP due to encapsulation or fibrosis.
