Evaluation of Ocular Surface Disease in Patients With Glaucoma: Clinical Parameters, Self-report Assessment, and Keratograph Analysis.

Our findings not only confirm the high prevalence of clinical findings of OSD in glaucoma patients but also reveal new objective parameters measured by keratograph analysis.

Gonioscopy-Assisted Transluminal Trabeculotomy for Glaucoma: 1-Year Outcomes and Success Predictors.

GATT was effective and safe at lowering IOP with or without cataract extraction in OAG. Patients 60 years or older had a higher risk of failure compared with those younger in age.

Evaluation of the Efficacy and Safety of the New Susanna Glaucoma Drainage Device in Refractory Glaucomas: Short-term Results.

Our initial findings suggest that the new SGDD is an effective alternative for managing neovascular and refractory glaucomas, with minor postoperative complications in the short-term.

Interventions to Improve Reading Performance in Glaucoma.

Patients with glaucoma showed significantly slower reading speeds than similarly aged control participants. Reading speed was improved by increasing contrast, but not by increases in line spacing or font size.

Is Reading Performance Impaired in Glaucoma Patients With Preserved Central Vision?

Patients with mild to moderate glaucoma had worse reading performance compared with similarly aged controls, despite both having preserved central vision.

Peripheral Microvascular Abnormalities Associated with Open-Angle Glaucoma.

Significant peripheral microvascular abnormalities were found in patients with OAG compared to controls, suggesting that microvascular changes might play a role in the pathogenesis of the disease.

Micropulse Transscleral Laser Treatment Versus Continuous Wave Transscleral Cyclophotocoagulation for the Treatment of Glaucoma or Ocular Hypertension: A Meta-Analysis.

MP-TLT and CW-TSCPC showed similar efficacy in IOP control. However, MP-TLT demonstrated a greater safety profile, suggesting its potential suitability for patients requiring repeat interventions or those with lower tolerance for ocular complications.

Disc-fovea Angle Is Associated With Visual Field Defect Location in Patients With Glaucoma.

This study showed an association between disc-fovea angle and central visual field defects in patients with glaucoma.

Effect of Anti-Inflammatory Regimen on Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty Outcomes: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

In summary, when evaluating the effect of different anti-inflammatory regimens on SLT outcomes in newly diagnosed POAG patients, we found higher success rates in patients treated with prednisolone acetate 1% after SLT.

Double-Arc Slow-Coagulation Transscleral Cyclophotocoagulation Laser Protocol: One-Year Effectiveness and Safety Outcomes.

Based on these initial retrospective data, the DA-TSCPC protocol seems to be an alternative for refractory glaucoma management, presenting significant IOP reduction and a good safety profile after 1 year.

Pattern of Long-Term Intraocular Pressure Variation Following Gonioscopy-Assisted Transluminal Trabeculotomy: Two-Year Outcomes.

Patients with clinically uncontrolled open angle glaucoma submitted to GATT or PHACOGATT achieved low mean IOPs and demonstrated stable IOP patterns.

Clinical Implications of Specific Features of the New Susanna Glaucoma Drainage Device.

Slow-Coagulation Continuous-Wave Cyclophotocoagulation vs. Micropulse Laser Treatment Procedure in Refractory Glaucoma: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

Slow-coagulation continuous-wave cyclophotocoagulation demonstrated superior IOP control and lower surgical failure rates compared to MP-LT.

Clinical Profiles of Glaucomatous Patients With High-tension and Low-tension Optic Disc Hemorrhages: A Comparative Study.

Patients developing DHs with treated IOPs in the low teens seem to more frequently fit in a profile represented by women, NTG diagnosis and greater VF loss.

Predicting the Therapeutic Efficacy of Laser Peripheral Iridotomy for Individuals With Asymptomatic Narrow Angle: The Triple Hump Sign.

Considerations With Regard to the Relationship Between Anticoagulant Intake and Glaucoma Prognosis in Eyes With Optic Disc Hemorrhages.

Response: Evaluation of Ocular Surface Disease in Patients With Glaucoma: Clinical Parameters, Self-report Assessment, and Keratograph Analysis.

Identification of the Most Accurate Spectral-domain Optical Coherence Tomography Parameters in Eyes With Early High-Tension and Low-Tension Glaucoma.

In eyes with early glaucoma, the pRNFL thickness scan seems to be a more accurate SDOCT protocol to identify those with LTG compared with the GCC thickness scan.
