Newer technology has made optic nerve photography simpler, cheaper and more portable creating opportunities for broader utilization in screening in underserved populations by non-physicians.

iStent inject: comprehensive review.

This review examines publications about the iStent inject, focusing on the device's efficacy, safety, and comparison with the first generation iStent.

Predictors of Success in Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty.

In this large cohort of eyes undergoing SLT, greater IOP and angle pigment before SLT correlated positively with SLT success.

What Glaucoma Patients Are Reading on the Internet: A Systematic Analysis of Online Glaucoma Content.

The most readily accessible online information about glaucoma varies in content, quality, accuracy, navigability, and readability. This systematic analysis identifies potential areas of improvement.

Ahmed Versus Baerveldt Glaucoma Drainage Device in Uveitic Glaucoma: A Retrospective Comparative Study.

Higher complete success rate and significantly greater reduction in mean IOP and number of medications were observed in the Baerveldt group, but with a higher rate of complications including hypotony.

Marijuana and Glaucoma: A Social Media Content Analysis.

Despite American Academy of Ophthalmology, Canadian Ophthalmological Society, and American Glaucoma Society statements against MC use in patients with glaucoma, a significant portion of online material recommends its use.

Reoperation for complications within 90 days of minimally invasive glaucoma surgery.

The rate of reoperation within the first 90 days after MIGS was low. Elevated IOP and complications associated with gel microstents were the main indications for reoperation.

Endophthalmitis after Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery.

Outcomes of trabecular microbypass surgery: Comparison of resident trainees and attending surgeons.

Microbypass stent implantation by resident trainees with attending supervision had similar efficacy and safety as surgery performed by attending surgeons.

Surgical Cancellations in Glaucoma Practice: Causes, Delays, and Effect on Patient Care and Revenue.

This study highlights a significant number of cancellations in a glaucoma practice, most of which occurred within 1 day of planned surgery.

Early Experience with Netarsudil in Pediatric Patients: A Retrospective Case Series.

Hemorrhagic Complications Following Trabecular Bypass Microstent Surgery in the Setting of Antithrombotic Therapy.

Hemorrhagic complications after trabecular bypass microstent surgery were limited to transient hyphema and were not associated with chronic ATT use. Stent type and female sex were associated with hyphema.

Ahmed ClearPath vs. Baerveldt Glaucoma Implant: A Retrospective Noninferiority Comparative Study.

A total of 128 eyes of 113 patients (63 ACP, 65 BGI) with similar baseline characteristics and a mean follow-up duration of 19.6 ± 10.8 (median 20.5) months were included.

Short-Term Outcomes of Bimatoprost Sustained-Release Intracameral Implant in Glaucoma.

Intracameral Bimatoprost SR reduced IOP and decreased the number of medications. Prior history of SLT did not impact Bimatoprost SR treatment outcomes.

A Novel Surgical Technique for Ahmed Glaucoma Valve Implantation Without Plate Sutures.

The comparison of short and mid-term outcomes of patients undergoing AGV implantation using both techniques showed similar outcomes and success rates.

Use of subconjunctival injections of 5-fluorouracil to rescue and prolong intraocular pressure reduction for a failing Ahmed glaucoma implant.

Subconjunctival injection of 5-FU sustained a significant long-term decline in intraocular pressures in eyes with failing Ahmed shunts. Outcomes between eyes receiving injections and controls were statistically similar.

10-Year Clinical Outcomes of Tube Shunt Surgery at a Tertiary Care Center.

Many eyes maintained IOP control 10 years following TS, but 56% met failure criteria, 39% had substantial vision loss, and 34% underwent additional surgery. Outcomes did not differ with TS model.

Effect of Anticoagulants and Surgeon-Related Factors on Short-term Outcomes of Laser Peripheral Iridotomy.

Although LPI is an effective and minimally invasive procedure, evidence shows that a higher level of experience leads to clinically and statistically significant better outcomes.

Incidence and Prevalence of Glaucoma, Corticosteroid Response, and Ocular Hypertension in Uveitis and its Anatomical Subtypes.

Since 2013, the incidence and prevalence rates of uveitic glaucoma have been decreasing. Patients with both anterior and intermediate uveitis patients had the highest relative rates of glaucoma compared to other uveitis subtypes.

Empowering Family Glaucoma Risk Communication Using QR-Code-Mediated Online Intervention.

This innovative online method of communicating the risk of glaucoma to FDRs of probands prompted and increased the comfort level of familial discussions of glaucoma.

Outcomes of Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty After Prior Incisional Surgery for Open Angle Glaucoma.

SLT may effectively lower IOP in patients with open angle glaucoma who have had previous incisional glaucoma surgery and should be considered in select cases.

Early Postoperative Aqueous Suppression Therapy and Surgical Outcomes of Ahmed Tube Shunts in Refractory Glaucoma.

Early use of aqueous suppressants may lower the risk of HP and improve AGV outcomes. FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE(S): Proprietary or commercial disclosure may be found in the Footnotes and Disclosures at the end of this article.
