Genetic Architecture of Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma in Individuals of African Descent: The African Descent and Glaucoma Evaluation Study III.

A novel association with advanced POAG in the EN04 locus was identified putatively in persons of AD.

The African Descent and Glaucoma Evaluation Study (ADAGES) III: Contribution of Genotype to Glaucoma Phenotype in African Americans: Study Design and Baseline Data.

With its large sample size, extensive specimen collection, and deep phenotyping of AD and ED glaucoma patients and control participants from different regions in the United States, the ADAGES III genomics study will address gaps in…

Open Conjunctival Approach for Sub-Tenon's Xen Gel Stent Placement and Bleb Morphology by Anterior Segment Optical Coherence Tomography.

Following an open conjunctival approach, sub-Tenon's placement of the Xen Gel Stent with significant IOP lowering was achieved.

Long-term Outcomes and Complications of Pars Plana Baerveldt Implantation in Children.

Although pars plana BGI surgery is a reasonable option for managing refractory glaucoma in aphakic and pseudophakic children, surgeons must be aware of the potential need for additional glaucoma surgery and/or posterior segment complications with…

Glaucoma Treatment Outcomes in Open Angle Glaucoma Patients of African Descent.

In addition to treatment outcomes, social disparities affecting clinical care also exist for AD persons in the form of reduced adherence, access, and choice.

Utility of the Modified Isolated-check Visual Evoked Potential Technique in Functional Glaucoma Assessment.

icVEP technology has the potential to complement standard achromatic perimetry in functional assessment of glaucomatous defects.

Downsizing a Baerveldt Glaucoma Implant For the Management of Persistent Postoperative Hypotony: A Case Series.

Truncation of one or both wings of a BGI and complete closure of the tube with nonabsorbable, but releasable, suture ligature is an effective and safe method for reversing persistent postoperative hypotony while maintaining IOP…

Vitreous Occlusion of a Glaucoma Drainage Implant-Surgical Management.

This technique achieves reversal of tube blockage and restoration of GDI function. Amputation of the incarcerated vitreous alone with vitrectomy or neodymium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet vitreolysis does not consistently restore GDI function and risks persistent intraluminal tube obstruction.

Suture Stenting of a Tube Fenestration for Early Intraocular Pressure Control After Baerveldt Glaucoma Implant Surgery.

The use of a single, monofilament 10-0 polyglactin suture to stent a fenestration proximal to the occlusive ligature of a BGI tube is effective in controlling IOP in the early postoperative period.

Using Multi-Layer Perceptron Driven Diagnosis to Compare Biomarkers for Primary Open Angle Glaucoma.

Neural network models indicate that OCTA optic nerve head vascular biomarkers are equally useful for ML diagnosis of POAG when compared to OCT structural biomarker features alone.

The Effect of Phacoemulsification on Intraocular Pressure in Eyes with Preexisting Glaucoma Drainage Implants.

Phacoemulsification after GDI surgery resulted in a transient reduction in IOP at postoperative week 1. Patients with previously placed AGVs had similar postoperative outcomes compared with those with BGIs.

Choroidal Effusions after Glaucoma Drainage Implant Surgery: Risk Factors and Surgical Management.

Choroidal effusions after GDI surgery resolved with conservative management in most patients.

Utility of the Modified Isolated-check Visual Evoked Potential Technique in Functional Glaucoma Assessment.

Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography Analysis of Perfused Peripapillary Capillaries in Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma and Normal-Tension Glaucoma.

Optical coherence tomography angiography can uniquely identify changes in peripapillary PCD in glaucoma patients. Optical coherence tomography angiography may offer insights into the pathophysiology of glaucomatous damage and risk factors for disease progression.

Transconjunctival Revision With Mitomycin-C Following Failed Trabeculectomy.

TCR with adjunctive MMC is a safe and effective procedure following failure of a trabeculectomy. More than 1 revision may be necessary to achieve long-term IOP reduction.

Clinical impact of 8 prospective, randomized, multicenter glaucoma trials.

Substantial differences were observed in the clinical impact of several RCTs in glaucoma. The reported impact of each study likely reflects several factors including study timing, design, conduct, and interpretation of results.
