PRESERFLO™ MicroShunt versus trabeculectomy: first results on efficacy and safety.

Both procedures are equally effective and safe in lowering mdIOP in patients with POAG.

Preoperative intraocular pressure as a predictor of selective laser trabeculoplasty efficacy.

The pressure-lowering effect of SLT can best be predicted by the individual IOP level before treatment. Patients with mean diurnal IOP levels below 14 mmHg might not benefit from the procedure at all.

A new biomechanical glaucoma factor to discriminate normal eyes from normal pressure glaucoma eyes.

The DBGF shows to be sensitive and specific to discriminate healthy from NPG eyes.

Bleb Morphology After Mitomycin-C Augmented Trabeculectomy: Comparison Between Clinical Evaluation and Anterior Segment Optical Coherence Tomography.

AS-OCT allows an analysis of the clinically invisible deeper layers of the filtering bleb.

Corneal Biomechanical Changes After Trabeculectomy and the Impact on Intraocular Pressure Measurement.

Despite a marked IOP reduction and a possible weakening of the ocular walls after trabeculectomy, corneal structural tissue properties are not altered, and therefore, the accuracy of IOP measurements is not changed postoperatively.

Scheimpflug Corneal Densitometry Changes After Trabeculectomy.

Corneal densitometry, an objective and sensitive measure of corneal transparency, returned close to normal 6 months after trabeculectomy.

Comparison of Central Corneal Thickness Measurements Using Optical and Ultrasound Pachymetry in Glaucoma Patients and Elderly and Young Controls.

In young subjects, ultrasound pachymetry measurements are higher than they are with optical pachymetry.

Argon laser peripheral iridoplasty for chronic primary angle-closure and angle-closure glaucoma in caucasians.

Argon laser peripheral iridoplasty (ALPI) is a safe and effective procedure for reducing appositional angle-closure and thus IOP in nonacute PAC and PACG patients.

Effect of selective laser trabeculoplasty on ocular haemodynamics in primary open-angle glaucoma.

Selective laser trabeculoplasty probably does not induce any pharmacological changes effecting systemic blood pressure or ocular blood flow as topical IOP-lowering medication might do, nor does it change biomechanical properties of the eye as surgery could.

One-Year Follow-up of Pars Plicata Versus Pars Plana Application of Transscleral Micropulse Cyclophotocoagulation.

PLI-MPC and PLA-MPC seem to be safe and effective in further lowering the IOP in about 60% of patients with primary open-angle glaucoma who did not reach target pressure despite maximally tolerated IOP-lowering medication.

Efficacy of Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty on Circadian Intraocular Pressure Following Trabeculectomy in Advanced Primary Open-angle Glaucoma.

SLT is effective and safe in lowering mdIOP to target IOP in about 50% of eyes after prior incisional glaucoma surgery.

Early Results of Preserflo MicroShunt for Primary Open Angle Glaucoma in White Patients.

Effective and safe intraocular pressure lowering was observed 1 year following MicroShunt implantation for primary HPG and NPG in White patients of European descent.

Response to the comment on "The biomechanical properties of the cornea of patients with glaucoma treated with anti-glaucoma topical medication".

The retinal venous pressure at different levels of airway pressure measured with a new method.

An increase in AirP was accompanied by a linear increase in RVP.

Measurement of the retinal venous pressure with a new instrument in patients with primary open angle glaucoma.

In both methods, the range of the single measurements may be taken as a sign of good reliability, the CCC of 0.96 as a sign of a very good agreement.

PRESERFLO ™ MicroShunt versus trabeculectomy: 1-year results on efficacy and safety.

Both procedures are equally effective and safe in lowering mdIOP, peak IOP and IOP fluctuations in patients with POAG, one year after surgery.

Effect of selective laser trabeculoplasty on corneal biomechanics.

Selective laser trabeculoplasty does not change corneal biomechanical properties as measured with the ORA in already pretreated patients with glaucoma.

Analyzing biomechanical parameters of the cornea with glaucoma severity in open-angle glaucoma.

Before interpreting corneal biomechanical parameters, it seems important to adjust the measured data for their underlying influencing factors.

Nocturnal blood pressure in primary open-angle glaucoma.

To judge the nocturnal BP situation of an individual patient, it is important to do this in relation to the daytime BP level.
