Treatment Outcomes in the Primary Tube Versus Trabeculectomy Study after 1 Year of Follow-up.

Trabeculectomy with MMC had a higher surgical success rate than tube shunt implantation after 1 year in the PTVT Study.

Outcomes of Gonioscopy-assisted Transluminal Trabeculotomy (GATT) in Eyes With Prior Incisional Glaucoma Surgery.

GATT appears to be safe and successful in treating 60% to 70% of open-angle patients with prior incisional glaucoma surgery.

The Primary Tube Versus Trabeculectomy Study: Methodology of a Multicenter Randomized Clinical Trial Comparing Tube Shunt Surgery and Trabeculectomy with Mitomycin C.

Practice patterns vary in the surgical management of glaucoma, and opinions differ among surgeons regarding the preferred primary operation for glaucoma.

Outcomes of conventional phacoemulsification versus femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery in eyes with Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy.

Compared with conventional phacoemulsification, femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery did not lower the rate of corneal decompensation in eyes with mild to moderate Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy.

Is Obstructive Sleep Apnea Associated With Progressive Glaucomatous Optic Neuropathy?

This study does not support a relationship between OSAS and glaucomatous progression. No correlation was observed between OSAS severity and rate of VF loss.

Differences in Optical Coherence Tomography Assessment of Bruch Membrane Opening Compared to Stereoscopic Photography for Estimating Cup-to-Disc Ratio.

OCT and photograph reading by clinicians agree poorly in CDR assessment.

The Impact of Helicobacter pylori Infection on Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer and Macula.

H. pylori infection may be associated with localized defects in the RNFL, which could serve as early indicators of glaucoma, and it may also be potentially linked to accelerated progression of macular degeneration.

Tube Fenestration in the Tube Versus Trabeculectomy Study.

Effectiveness of Single-Digit IOP Targets on Decreasing Global and Localized Visual Field Progression After Filtration Surgery in Eyes With Progressive Normal-Tension Glaucoma.

Achieving single-digit IOP targets with filtration surgery has a beneficial effect on reducing global and localized rates of VF progression in NTG eyes with progression at low IOP.

A Retrospective Comparison of Primary Baerveldt Implantation versus Trabeculectomy with Mitomycin C.

Similar rates of surgical success and postoperative complications were observed in patients undergoing trabeculectomy with MMC and in those undergoing Baerveldt implantation during 3 years of follow-up.

Safety And Efficacy Of Achieving Single-Digit Intraocular Pressure Targets With Filtration Surgery In Eyes With Progressive Normal-Tension Glaucoma.

Trabeculectomy is a safe and effective method for achieving single-digit IOP targets in NTG eyes with progression at low IOP.

Comparison of primary graft survival following penetrating keratoplasty and Descemet's stripping endothelial keratoplasty in eyes with prior trabeculectomy.

Eyes with prior glaucoma showed higher rates of DSEK graft failure compared with PK. Patients with prior trabeculectomy demonstrated higher and earlier corneal graft failure rates with DSEK than with PK.
