Minimally invasive glaucoma surgery as primary stand-alone surgery for glaucoma.

, Irvine CA, USA), the ab interno gel Implant (XEN, Allergan, Dublin, Ireland) or supraciliary stenting (CyPass Micro-Stent, Alcon, Fort Worth, TX, USA) may lower the lowering intraocular pressure and/or topical medication burden in phakic or pseudophakic patients with glaucoma.

Standalone iStent Trabecular Micro-bypass Glaucoma Surgery: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

The results from these studies support the independent effect of the iStent trabecular bypass devices on IOP and medication burden over a duration of follow-up of up to 5 years.

Minimally invasive glaucoma surgery: Comparison of iStent with iStent inject in primary open angle glaucoma.

Both trabecular micro-bypass stents in this study were effective in reducing IOP and the burden of medication when combined with cataract surgery.

Glaucoma laser and surgical procedure rates in Australia.

There has been a substantial increase in laser trabeculoplasty procedures in Australia, following a decline between 1994 and 2003.

Ab Interno Gel Implant-associated Bleb-related Infection.

Bleb-related infections after ab interno gel implant insertion can occur. If infection is treated appropriately, good clinical outcomes are possible.

The Safety and Efficacy of Supraciliary Stenting Following Failed Glaucoma Surgery.

Ab interno supraciliary stenting has a favorable safety profile and provides an effective approach to controlling IOP and reducing medication burden in eyes in which previous glaucoma surgery has failed.

Primary Needling of the Ab Interno Gelatin Microstent Reduces Postoperative Needling and Follow-up Requirements.

Primary needling at the time of XEN gel stent insertion is associated with a significant reduction in the need for postoperative needling and postoperative clinic visits.

Bleb-associated endophthalmitis: Proportion, presentation, management and outcomes in Victoria, Australia.

Bleb-associated endophthalmitis is an uncommon complication following glaucoma filtration surgery. The proportion has remained stable over time. Visual outcomes remain poor.

The changing glaucoma treatment paradigm.

Differences in bleb morphology between trabeculectomy and deep sclerectomy.

Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty Reduces Intraocular Pressure Peak in Response to the Water Drinking Test.

Patients with open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension treated with SLT have significantly reduced peak IOPs and fluctuation in IOP in response to the WDT.

Anxiety in visual field testing.

HVF testing induces more anxiety than HRT. Increased pretest anxiety may reduce HVF test reliability. Increased test experience or interventions aimed at reducing pretest anxiety may result in improved test reliability and accuracy.
