In Vivo Distribution of Corneal Epithelial Dendritic Cells in Patients With Glaucoma.

Dendritic cells increase in the entire cornea of MCGP, with a higher density at limbus. These modifications may take part in the induction of the glaucoma-related ocular surface disease.

Meibomian Gland Features and Conjunctival Goblet Cell Density in Glaucomatous Patients Controlled With Prostaglandin/Timolol Fixed Combinations: A Case Control, Cross-sectional Study.

PTFCs were less toxic towards MGs and goblet cells compared with the L+T unfixed combination, with PF-BTFC presenting the most tolerated profile.

Preparing the ocular surface for glaucoma filtration surgery: an unmet clinical need.

Moreover, we reported the most exploited measures to mitigate the OSD before surgery, the possible reasons underlying the absence of shared approaches, and the upcoming area of intervention to preserve the OS health during glaucoma management.

Endothelial Cell Density After XEN Implant Surgery: Short-term Data From the Italian XEN Glaucoma Treatment Registry (XEN-GTR).

The mean ECD reduction 6 months after XEN implantation was low. The ECD reduction in the XEN+phaco group was larger than in the XEN-solo group but was similar to that observed in the phaco-solo group.

Tear Meniscus Imaging by Anterior Segment-Optical Coherence Tomography in Medically Controlled Glaucoma.

AS-OCT permits a noninvasive and reliable tear meniscus imaging in medically controlled glaucoma, depicting the glaucoma-related ocular surface disease as a dry eye disease-like condition.

Conjunctival thickness as a predictive imaging biomarker for the glaucoma filtration surgery outcome: An optical coherence tomography study.

Preoperative conjunctival thickness and reflectivity show significant correlations with the FS outcome, both in terms of IOP and bleb-wall features.

Response to Letter to the Editor: Tear Meniscus Imaging by Anterior Segment-Optical Coherence Tomography in Medically Controlled Glaucoma.

Correction: Managing the ocular surface after glaucoma filtration surgery: an orphan topic.

Managing the ocular surface after glaucoma filtration surgery: an orphan topic.

Clinicians are encouraged to routinely include the OS evaluation after GFS and to consider proper management when the occurrence of PGS-OSD worsen the patient's QOL or exert negative effects to the FB functionality.

A deep learning approach to investigate the filtration bleb functionality after glaucoma surgery: a preliminary study.

All considered metrics supported that the final DL model was able to discriminate functioning from failed FBs, with good accuracy.

Effectiveness and safety of XEN45 implant over 12 months of follow-up: data from the XEN-Glaucoma Treatment Registry.

Over 1-year follow-up, XEN45 alone or in combination with phacoemulsification, had comparable success rates and effectively and safely lowered IOP and the need for OHM.

Corneoscleral limbus in glaucoma patients: in vivo confocal microscopy and immunocytological study.

Laser scanning confocal microscopy and IC documented antiglaucoma therapy induced morphologic alterations of limbus, which may play a role in the glaucoma-related ocular surface disease.

Circadian intraocular pressure patterns in healthy subjects, primary open angle and normal tension glaucoma patients with a contact lens sensor.

Continuous 24-hr IOP monitoring with the CLS revealed a nocturnal acrophase in healthy subjects and, more markedly, in glaucoma.
