Impact of Artifacts From Optical Coherence Tomography Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer and Macula Scans on Detection of Glaucoma Progression.

Artifacts are highly prevalent on both circumpapillary RNFL and macular scans on SDOCT images acquired in a glaucoma clinic.

Incremental Health Care Expenditures Associated With Glaucoma in the United States: A Propensity Score-matched Analysis.

Glaucoma patients have a substantial incremental economic health care burden after accounting for demographics and comorbidities, largely secondary to prescription medications.

Infectious and Sterile Endophthalmitis in Eyes with Glaucoma Drainage Device from Two Large Ophthalmic Institutions.

Glaucoma drainage implant-associated endophthalmitis was correlated with poor visual outcome. Immediate intravitreal antibiotic delivery was a universal first-line therapy. Tube exposure was a necessary risk factor for late-onset endophthalmitis and required surgical removal or repair.

The Impact of Trabecular Meshwork Remnants on Goniotomy Outcomes.

Evaluation of Research Productivity among Academic Glaucoma Specialists Using the Relative Citation Ratio.

Current academic glaucoma specialists have high mean RCR values relative to the NIH standard RCR value of 1.

Factors Associated with Goniotomy Outcomes in the United States: An IRIS® Registry Analysis.

In this large national cohort, several demographic and clinical factors-including higher baseline IOP, more severe glaucoma, PXG, and LTG diagnoses-were predictive of goniotomy success.

Open-angle glaucoma and Fuchs dystrophy.

Note that patient age at the time of trabeculectomy was 22 years. Are some procedures better suited for patients after DSEK surgery?

Incidence of ocular pathology following bariatric surgery for with morbid obesity across a large United States National Database.

The present analysis comprising a large US cohort of patients suggests that bariatric surgery is associated with a decreased risk of future ocular morbidity and mortality.
