Association of a Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma Genetic Risk Score With Earlier Age at Diagnosis.

A higher dose of POAG risk alleles was associated with an earlier age at glaucoma diagnosis.

Treatment Outcomes of Slow Coagulation Transscleral Cyclophotocoagulation In Pseudophakic Patients with Medically Uncontrolled Glaucoma.

Slow coagulation TSCPC has good efficiency, especially in patients with baseline IOP >21 mm Hg, and safety profile as an initial surgical intervention in pseudophakic patients with glaucoma.

Treatment Outcomes of Primary Transscleral Cyclophotocoagulation.

Continuous-wave TSCPC was effective in lowering IOP in glaucoma patients without prior incisional ocular surgery whose disease was recalcitrant to medical therapy, particularly those with baseline IOP of more than 21 mmHg.

Outcomes of the Shunt Tube Exposure Prevention Study: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

Amniotic membrane-umbilical cord grafts are well tolerated and offer an alternative to pericardium for safe and stable tube shunt coverage. Its high-tensile strength, low immunogenicity, and excellent host-tissue integration significantly reduced graft thinning.

Testosterone Pathway Genetic Polymorphisms in Relation to Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma: An Analysis in Two Large Datasets.

Collectively, testosterone metabolism pathway SNPs were consistently associated with the high-tension subtype of POAG in two datasets.

Cost-analysis of Surgical Intraocular Pressure Management in Glaucoma.

Conventional glaucoma surgeries and selective laser trabeculoplasty surgery were the most cost-efficient surgical methods to lower IOP compared with the various minimally invasive glaucoma surgeries options.

Slow Coagulation Transscleral Cyclophotocoagulation for Postvitrectomy Patients With Silicone Oil-induced Glaucoma.

Slow coagulation TSCPC had high efficacy and minimal complications when used as an initial glaucoma surgical procedure in patients with SO-induced glaucoma.

Recent Advances in the Surgical Management of Glaucoma in Exfoliation Syndrome.

These techniques have demonstrated promising results in various types of glaucoma. More research is, however, needed to establish the safety and efficacy of these procedures in XFG.

Effectiveness and Safety of Trabeculectomy Versus Tube Shunt Implantation for Uveitic Glaucoma: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Trabeculectomy and GDDs demonstrated comparable effectiveness in reducing IOP or glaucoma medication reduction in UG.

Slow-Coagulation Transscleral Cyclophotocoagulation Laser Treatment for Medically Uncontrolled Secondary Aphakic Adult Glaucoma.

Slow-coagulation CW-TSCPC is an efficacious, relatively safe, and non-incisional laser treatment option as an initial surgical glaucoma management choice, in secondary aphakic adult glaucoma that is medically uncontrolled.

Racial and Ethnic Differences in the Association Between Statin Use and the Risk of Ocular Hypertension and Open-Angle Glaucoma.

Statin use was associated with a reduced risk of OHT and/or OAG in most racial and ethnic groups, with differences in timing and magnitude of effects.

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.

Differences in Optical Coherence Tomography Assessment of Bruch Membrane Opening Compared to Stereoscopic Photography for Estimating Cup-to-Disc Ratio.

OCT and photograph reading by clinicians agree poorly in CDR assessment.

Neurotrophic Keratopathy After Slow Coagulation Transscleral Cyclophotocoagulation.

NK is a rare but a vision-threatening complication that can develop after SC-TSCPC in patients with risk factors for decreased corneal sensation.

Burden of Trabeculectomy and Glaucoma Drainage Implantation after Laser Trabeculoplasty: A Two-Year Follow-up Study.

Laser trabeculoplasty did not alter the need for subsequent incisional glaucoma surgery among glaucoma suspects or patients with mild OAG. Regardless of treatment with LTP, African heritage and OAG diagnosis status were risk factors for requiring glaucoma surgery.

Shields Gray Crescents Masquerading as Glaucomatous Cupping of the Optic Nerve Head.

Shields type A and B gray crescents appear different clinically because histologically they represent differences in RPE.

Clinical Factors Impacting Outcomes From Failed Trabeculectomy Leading to Glaucoma Drainage Device Implantation and Subsequent Penetrating Keratoplasty.

Nearly half of the corneal grafts are clear at the last long-term follow-up.

Rapid Intraocular Tube Trimming for Glaucoma Drainage Implant Devices.

: This technique allows for rapid and successful shortening of GDD tubes via an ab interno approach avoiding risks of traditional glaucoma tube trimming approaches.

Association Between Pseudoexfoliation Glaucoma and Central Serous Chorioretinopathy.

PXG is associated with an increased hazard of developing CSCR compared with POAG.

Diabetic Retinopathy as a Risk Factor for Ocular Hypertension or Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma in a United States-based Cohort Study.

DR is significantly associated with OHT and POAG, particularly in T1DM. These findings emphasize the need for vigilant screening and comprehensive management of diabetic patients with coexisting DR.

The power of many: multi-database approach to understand the relationship between statins and glaucoma.

Association Between Chronic Oral Nitrate Use and the Risk of Ocular Hypertension and Open-Angle Glaucoma.

The use of oral nitrates was associated with a reduced risk of OAG and POAG over long-term follow-up, while no effect was observed on OHT development.

Slow-Coagulation Transscleral Cyclophotocoagulation in Pseudoexfoliation Glaucoma.

SC-TSCPC is an effective, relatively safe, and repeatable surgical treatment option in PXG. Further prospective investigations are suggested to confirm these findings.
