Glaucoma After Corneal Trauma or Surgery-A Rapid, Inflammatory, IOP-Independent Pathway.

A rapidly initiated, inflammatory (TNF-α mediated), IOP-independent pathway to glaucoma, resulting from acute anterior segment trauma or surgery, has been identified in laboratory studies.

Chemical Burns of the Eye: The Role of Retinal Injury and New Therapeutic Possibilities.

A new regimen, in addition to standard treatment, for severe chemical burns is proposed.

Design and Outcomes of a Novel Keratoprosthesis: Addressing Unmet Needs in End-Stage Cicatricial Corneal Blindness.

The Lux keratoprosthesis was developed for patients with severe cicatricial keratoconjunctivitis who were otherwise not candidates for existing keratoprosthesis designs. Short-term outcomes after implantation of the Lux keratoprosthesis were encouraging.

Comparison of swept-source and enhanced depth imaging spectral-domain optical coherence tomography in quantitative characterisation of the optic nerve head.

LCDH, LCDV and thinnest BMO-MRW measurements are not interchangeable between SS-OCT and EDI-OCT, but show good intrareader and inter-reader reproducibility and interdevice agreement for quantitative characterisation of the ONH, particularly among patients with glaucoma.

Glaucoma Management in Patients With Aniridia and Boston Type 1 Keratoprosthesis.

Despite a higher glaucoma prevalence, eyes with aniridia achieved similar VA as comparison eyes with more than 5 years of mean follow-up time.

The prophylactic value of TNF-α inhibitors against retinal cell apoptosis and optic nerve axon loss after corneal surgery or trauma.

Subconjunctival injection of 4.0 mg adalimumab in rabbits shows no eye toxicity and provides excellent neuroprotection, both short (3 days) and long-term (90 days).

Angle Anatomy and Glaucoma in Patients With Boston Keratoprosthesis.

The temporal angle was the most visible on AS-OCT in eyes with a KPro. Significant narrowing of the temporal angle detected on AS-OCT was associated with glaucoma in these eyes.

The Prevalence of Autoimmune Diseases in Patients with Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma Undergoing Ophthalmic Surgeries.

A higher prevalence of AiD was found in POAG patients compared with control patients undergoing ophthalmic surgery.

Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography in Patients With the Boston Keratoprosthesis Type 1.

This is the first study assessing OCTA in KPro patients and identified a higher incidence of artifacts that may be associated with the KPro optic.

Patterns of Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Loss in Different Subtypes of Open Angle Glaucoma Using Spectral Domain Optical Coherence Tomography.

This study suggests that SD-OCT may be able to detect significant differences in patterns of RNFL thinning for different subtypes of OAG.
