Outcomes of Kahook Dual Blade Goniotomy with and without Phacoemulsification Cataract Extraction.

Goniotomy with the KDB has a favorable safety profile and is an effective procedure at reducing IOP and medication burden as a standalone procedure or combined with phacoemulsification.

Refractive outcomes of phacoemulsification cataract surgery in glaucoma patients.

Patients with a diagnosis of glaucoma were more likely to have a refractive surprise and/or worse visual outcome after phacoemulsification cataract surgery.

Efficacy of Goniotomy With Kahook Dual Blade in Patients With Uveitis-associated Ocular Hypertension.

On the basis of this small case series, KDB goniotomy may be a safe, less invasive, and effective first-line surgical alternative for patients with uveitis-associated OHTN or glaucoma refractory to medical therapy.

Histopathologic Examination of Trabecular Meshwork Changes After Trabecular Bypass Stent Implantation.

These findings indicate that inflammatory and fibrotic changes are present surrounding the device with clear differences noted when compared with both healthy and glaucomatous controls.

Postoperative Inflammation After Endoscopic Cyclophotocoagulation: Racial Distribution and Effect on Outcomes.

PAU is common after combined phacoemulsification and ECP and is significantly correlated with race. Although PAU may require prolonged postoperative treatment, our data does not support poorer VA or IOP outcomes.

The Utility of iCare HOME Tonometry for Detection of Therapy-Related Intraocular Pressure Changes in Glaucoma and Ocular Hypertension.

Home tonometry with iCare HOME reliably detects therapy-related IOP changes in patients with glaucoma and ocular hypertension.

Outcomes of Kahook Dual Blade Goniotomy for Uveitis Associated Open Angle Glaucoma or Ocular Hypertension.

This larger case series shows that some patients with uveitis-associated ocular hypertension or glaucoma with an open angle may have success with KDB goniotomy.

Subjective and Objective Measurement of Sleep Quality and Activity in Glaucoma.

In this study, patients with glaucoma demonstrated several subjective and objective differences in sleep function when compared with controls, whereas physical activity metrics were similar.

A Comparison of Clinical Outcomes After XEN Gel Stent and EX-PRESS Glaucoma Drainage Device Implantation.

In this population, although the XEN stent offers a better safety profile and fewer postoperative clinic visits, complete surgical success was inferior to the EX-PRESS shunt.

AAV2-Mediated Expression of HspB1 in RGCs Prevents Somal Damage and Axonal Transport Deficits in a Mouse Model of Ocular Hypertension.

The administration of AAV2-HSPB1 inhibited RGC death and axonal transport defects and reduced glial activation in a mouse model of ocular hypertension.

Optimum time for angle visualization during ab interno glaucoma surgery: Before or after phacoemulsification.

In combination phacoemulsification and angle-based glaucoma procedures, there appears to be no significant angle visualization difference whether the surgeon chooses to complete angle surgery before or after phacoemulsification; therefore, the decision of surgical order should…

A Survey of Patient Perceptions and Preferences for Glaucoma Treatment with Intravitreal Injections.

Patients are open to alternative methods of drug delivery, and their willingness to undergo more invasive treatments, like IVI, for glaucoma rises with a longer theoretical duration between treatments.

The Effect of Endoscopic Cyclophotocoagulation on the Outcomes of Excisional Goniotomy With and Without Phacoemulsification.

Both standalone KDB goniotomy with ECP and the PEcK procedure are efficacious at lowering IOP and glaucoma medication burden.

Outcomes after combined phacoemulsification and trabecular microbypass stent implantation in controlled open-angle glaucoma.

Combined cataract surgery and trabecular microbypass stent implantation was statistically effective in reducing IOP and/or medication burden in OAG patients with a low preoperative IOP.

Glaucoma Patient Treatment Preferences.

The Utility of Cap Color and Bottle Characteristics for Topical Glaucoma Therapy.

Aflibercept for the treatment of neovascular glaucoma.

These results suggest that intravitreal aflibercept may be an effective treatment for stage 1 and 2 NVG, resulting in rapid and sustained regression of NVI and NVA as well as control of IOP.
