Once-Daily Netarsudil Versus Twice-Daily Timolol in Patients With Elevated Intraocular Pressure: The Randomized Phase 3 ROCKET-4 Study.

Netarsudil QD (PM), a first-in-class IOP-lowering medication, was noninferior to timolol BID and was associated with tolerable ocular AEs.

Five-Year, Prospective, Randomized, Multi-Surgeon Trial of Two Trabecular Bypass Stents versus Prostaglandin for Newly Diagnosed Open-Angle Glaucoma.

This prospective randomized trial demonstrates 5-year effectiveness and safety of 2 trabecular bypass stents in patients with newly diagnosed, treatment-naive POAG, with comparably favorable outcomes as topical prostaglandin.

Ab Interno Trabeculectomy With a Dual Blade: Surgical Technique for Childhood Glaucoma.

This was a successful, minimally invasive procedure for treatment of childhood glaucoma.

Using Large Language Models to Generate Educational Materials on Childhood Glaucoma.

LLMs can serve as strong supplemental tools in generating high-quality, accurate, and novel PEMs, and improving the readability of existing PEMs on childhood glaucoma.

An Analysis of the Quality, Reliability, and Popularity of YouTube Videos on Glaucoma.

Overall, many of the videos had adequate quality and reliability scores.

Laser Iridoplasty to Treat Iris-occluded XEN Gel Stent.

ALPI can effectively restore XEN Gel stent patency if occluded by the iris and should be considered before attempting more invasive surgical revisions.

Blind Spots in Therapy: Unveiling Drug-Induced Angle-Closure Glaucoma Through a National Analysis.

Drug-induced glaucoma included both well-known medications such as topiramate as well as lesser-known medications such as olanzapine, phentermine, and ranibizumab.

A Comprehensive Evaluation of the Quality, Readability, and Technical Quality of Online Information on Glaucoma.

An overwhelming majority of websites presented information of low quality, reliability, and readability.

Are Disposable and Standard Gonioscopy Lenses Comparable?

We conclude that there is no significant difference in quality of images produced with standard versus disposable gonioscopy lenses.

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.

Continuous Wave Transscleral Cyclophotocoagulation and Endoscopic Cyclophotocoagulation in Childhood Glaucoma: A Meta-Analysis.

Both TS-CPC and ECP were effective in reducing the IOP and glaucoma medications in childhood glaucoma. Multiple treatment sessions were required.

Scleral Patch Graft Melt After Tube Shunt Surgery: Grading and Identification of Risk Factors.

SG melts gradually after tube shunt surgery with the most dramatic melt occurring after 12 months postoperatively.

Use of Telepresence Robots in Glaucoma Patient Education.

Education sessions with a human and TR improved patients' glaucoma KS.

Re: Ahmed et al.: A prospective randomized trial comparing Hydrus and iStent micro-invasive glaucoma surgery implants for standalone treatment of open-angle glaucoma: The COMPARE Study (Ophthalmology. 2020;127:52-61).

Comparison of Efficacy of Micropulse and Continuous Wave Cyclophotocoagulation in Patients With Pediatric Glaucoma.

Both MP-CPC and CW-CPC exhibited short-term effectiveness in lowering IOP, followed by reversion to near baseline levels 12 months after laser treatment.

Public Perception of Marijuana Use for the Treatment of Glaucoma.

The majority of those in favor came from accounts of individual users (n=391; 56%) whereas those that opposed marijuana as a treatment came from accounts of health care media, ophthalmologists, and other health care workers.

Letter to the Editor: Cost-analysis of Surgical Intraocular Pressure Management in Glaucoma.

Metformin Use and Risk of Glaucoma: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

Across observational cohorts, metformin use was not associated with a reduced glaucoma risk in crude analyses; however, sensitivity analyses suggested a possible protective effect.

Evaluating a virtual reality visual fields analyzer in an urban, underserved glaucoma & glaucoma suspect patient populations to identify disparities.

Our analysis of the Humphrey Visual Field against the virtual reality PalmScan VF2000 G2™ in an urban, diverse population found subtle disparities in predictive staging of glaucoma.

Appositional Choroidal Detachment Following XEN45 Gel Stent Requiring Surgical Drainage.

Postoperatively, the vision improved to 20/60. Significant choroidal detachments can occur after XEN45 implantation requiring surgical intervention.

Corneal Haze as Prognostic Indicator of Intraocular Pressure in Primary Congenital Glaucoma.

Eyes with PCG-related corneal haze generally presented more severely than did those without haze, but postmanagement outcomes may be similar to those in eyes without haze.

The Economic Burden of Childhood Glaucoma.

Childhood glaucoma carries a substantial economic burden with the highest costs occurring in the first year after presentation. The greatest contributors to cost of illness are surgical interventions and examinations and anesthesia.

Intraocular pressure outcomes after endophthalmitis associated with glaucoma surgery.

IOP control after resolution of endophthalmitis in patients with previous glaucoma surgery was maintained in only 25% of cases. Half the patients required additional glaucoma surgery.
