Uveo-scleral outflow pathways after ultrasonic cyclocoagulation in refractory glaucoma: an anterior segment optical coherence tomography and in vivo confocal study.

UCCC induced anatomical modifications of sclera and conjunctiva, which suggested that the trans-scleral AH outflow enhancement is one of the possible mechanisms exploited by ultrasounds to reduce IOP.

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.

In Vivo Confocal Imaging of the Conjunctiva as a Predictive Tool for the Glaucoma Filtration Surgery Outcome.

Preoperative DCD, GCD, and SMR are parameters correlated with the filtration surgery outcome, with DCD presenting the strongest correlation. IVCM of the conjunctiva may represent an imaging tool to predict the surgical success in glaucoma.

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.

Angiographic biomarkers of filtering bleb function after XEN gel implantation for glaucoma: an optical coherence tomography-angiography study.

Successful filtration blebs after XGI present numerous and large areas of vessel displacement within the bleb-wall, along with a rarefied vascular network.

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.

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.

In Vivo Goblet Cell Density as a Potential Indicator of Glaucoma Filtration Surgery Outcome.

Goblet cells positively affect the filtration ability after trabeculectomy; therefore, preoperative GCD could be considered as a potential in vivo biomarker of surgical success.

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.
