Metabolic Syndrome Is Associated With Ocular Hypertension and Glaucoma.

Additional studies are needed to clarify this association by incorporating additional metrics including assessment of central corneal thickness as well as optic nerve structure and function.

Multiple Systemic Vascular Risk Factors Are Associated With Low-Tension Glaucoma.

Multiple vascular-associated conditions were associated with low-tension glaucoma including systemic hypertension, diabetes mellitus, peripheral vascular disease, migraine headache, Raynaud syndrome, anemia, systemic hypotension, and calcium channel blocker use.

Effect of ATP-sensitive Potassium Channel Openers on Intraocular Pressure in Ocular Hypertensive Animal Models.

ATP-sensitive potassium channel openers CKLP1 and diazoxide effectively decreased the IOP in ocular hypertensive animal models by decreasing the episcleral venous pressure, supporting a potential therapeutic application of these agents in ocular hypertension and glaucoma.

Association of Metabolic Syndrome With Glaucoma and Ocular Hypertension in a Midwest United States Population.

In Olmsted County, though metabolic syndrome was associated with ocular hypertension and higher intraocular pressure in patients with glaucoma, the results were likely related to a thicker central corneal in this patient population.

Rates of Diplopia in Ahmed FP7, Baerveldt 250, and 350 Glaucoma Patients Compared With Medical Controls.

Patients with the larger (B350) or the higher profile plate (FP7) GDDs were more likely to experience diplopia than controls, and diplopia was attributable to the GDD in ~6% of patients with either a FP7 or a B350 GDD.

Consensus Recommendations for Studies of Outflow Facility and Intraocular Pressure Regulation Using Ex Vivo Perfusion Approaches.

These include: (1) perfused whole globes, (2) stationary anterior segment organ culture, (3) perfused human anterior segment organ culture, (4) perfused animal anterior segment organ culture, (5) perfused human corneal rims, and (6) perfused human anterior segment wedges.

Surgical Advancement of Tenon's Layer During Trabeculectomy Improves Bleb Morphology.

Therefore, in our surgical practice, a small number of patients had trabeculectomy in 1 eye before implementation of this new technique, and then had trabeculectomy in the fellow eye after this technique was adopted, providing…

Progressive Paracentral Visual Field Loss at Low Intraocular Pressures Following LASIK.

This series suggests that additional study into the association of LASIK and glaucoma is warranted, including the potential risk contribution of diminished CH.

Single-Use Lens Compromise During Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty.

Increased laser damage to disposable SLT lenses was associated with diminished treatment effect.

Recurrent, Delayed-Onset Hyphema Following iStent Inject Managed With Device Removal: A Case Report.

We present a case of recurrent hyphema occurring after iStent Inject placement and describe successful management with surgical removal of the device.
