Efficacy, Safety, and Risk Factors for Failure of Standalone Ab Interno Gelatin Microstent Implantation versus Standalone Trabeculectomy.

There was no detectable difference in risk of failure and safety profiles between standalone ab interno microstent with MMC and trabeculectomy with MMC.

Intermediate Outcomes of a Novel Standalone Ab Externo SIBS Microshunt With Mitomycin C.

One-year results of the ab externo SIBS microshunt demonstrated promising rates of qualified and complete success, decreased drop use, few complications, and infrequent postoperative interventions.

Artificial Intelligence Algorithms to Diagnose Glaucoma and Detect Glaucoma Progression: Translation to Clinical Practice.

AI algorithms applied to fundus photographs for screening purposes may provide good results using a simple and widely accessible test.

Ab Externo SIBS Microshunt with Mitomycin C for Open-Angle Glaucoma: Three-Year Results as a Primary Surgical Intervention.

Three-year follow-up data from this large cohort continues to support promising rates of qualified and complete success, with decreased medication burden postoperatively and few postoperative complications and interventions.

All Consecutive Ab Externo SIBS Microshunt Implantations With Mitomycin C: One-Year Outcomes and Risk Factors for Failure.

The 1-year follow-up data from this large and diverse cohort support promising rates of qualified and complete surgical success with decreased medication burden and few postoperative complications and interventions.

Standalone Ab Interno Gelatin Stent versus Trabeculectomy: Postoperative Interventions, Visual Outcomes, and Visits.

Microstent eyes had more TCNRs (though fewer in-clinic interventions), fewer postoperative visits, and less vision loss, and experienced less surgically induced astigmatism, than trabeculectomy eyes.

Segmental Suture Gonioscopy-Assisted Transluminal Trabeculotomy: Comparison of Superior Versus Inferior Hemisphere Outcomes.

This retrospective study showed no difference in inferior versus superior 180 degrees of hemi-GATT/phacoemulsification cataract surgeries through the majority of analyses.

Surgeon Experience as a Risk Factor for Short-Term Failure for Ab Interno Gelatin Microstent: A Canadian Multicenter Propensity-Matched Study.

There is some evidence for improved success in the later cases group.

Association Between Sociodemographic Factors and Self-reported Glaucoma in the National Health Interview Survey: A Population-Based Analysis.

Non-Hispanic Black race and poor health status were associated with self-reported glaucoma diagnosis. Physicians and policymakers may consider SDH when assessing clinical risk and designing public health interventions.

Glaucoma Surgery Comparison: SIBS Microshunt Versus Gelatin 45 µm Microstent Versus Trabeculectomy as Primary Surgical Interventions.

Overall, patients with the SIBS microshunt achieved higher success rates compared to both trabeculectomy and the gelatin 45 μm microstent group, with fewer postoperative complications, interventions, and reoperations for glaucoma.
