Update on Micropulse Transscleral Cyclophotocoagulation.

Micropulse transscleral cyclophotocoagulation is a promising and relatively new technique that uses repetitive micropulses of diode laser energy, delivered with the Cyclo G6 Glaucoma Laser System (Iridex Corporation), in an off-and-on cyclical manner.

Predicting Adherence With the Glaucoma Treatment Compliance Assessment Tool.

The GTCAT identified multiple factors associated with adherence. Clinicians and researchers could use this tool to identify specific barriers to adherence and develop potential interventions to improve adherence.

Intraocular Pressure and Medication Burden With Cataract Surgery Alone, or Cataract Surgery Combined With Trabecular Bypass or Goniotomy.

Trabecular micro-bypass and goniotomy when added to cataract surgery resulted in a large decrease in IOP spikes, a modest effect on IOP, and a minimal effect on medication burden when compared with cataract surgery alone…

Effect of Trabeculectomy on OCT Measurements of the Optic Nerve Head Neuroretinal Rim Tissue.

Trabeculectomy resulted in anatomical changes to the ONH rim associated with reduced glaucomatous cupping.

Novel Eye Drop Delivery Aid Improves Outcomes and Satisfaction.

Eye drop users preferred the NPDD over traditional eye drop delivery. The NPDD improved eye drop delivery success, reduced bottle tip contact, and decreased the number of eye drops wasted.

OCT Segmentation Errors with Bruch's Membrane Opening-Minimum Rim Width as Compared with Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Thickness.

Both BMO-MRW and RNFLT measurements included segmentation errors, which did not seem to have a common location, and may result in differences in glaucoma classification.

Eye Drop Adherence With an Eye Drop Bottle Cap Monitor.

The D3 monitor remained attached to the eye drop bottle cap for the duration of the study and collected adherence data in all 50 patients.

Anterior Segment Parameters are Associated With Intraocular Pressure Spikes Following Cataract Surgery in Glaucoma Patients.

IOP spikes were common in glaucoma patients after cataract surgery and were associated with anterior segment anatomy. Future studies may use risk factors to identify and prevent IOP spikes in glaucoma patients after cataract surgery.
