Mindfulness Meditation Reduces Intraocular Pressure, Lowers Stress Biomarkers and Modulates Gene Expression in Glaucoma: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

A short course of mindfulness-based stress reduction by meditation in POAG, reduces IOP, improves QOL, normalizes stress biomarkers, and positively modifies gene expression. Mindfulness meditation can be recommended as adjunctive therapy for POAG.

Randomized Trial on Illuminated-Microcatheter Circumferential Trabeculotomy Versus Conventional Trabeculotomy in Congenital Glaucoma.

In primary congential glaucoma, illuminated microcatheter-assisted 360-degree circumferential trabeculotomy performed better than conventional partial trabeculotomy at 1 year follow-up and resulted in significantly lower IOP measurements.

Effect of Mindfulness Meditation on Intraocular Pressure and Trabecular Meshwork Gene Expression: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

MM was associated with significant decrease in IOP and changes in TM gene expression, indicating its direct impact on ocular tissues.

Effect of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction on Intraocular Pressure in Patients With Ocular Hypertension: A Randomized Control Trial.

Mindfulness-based stress reduction was associated with a significant decrease in IOP and serum cortisol, along with an improvement in optic nerve head perfusion and QOL.

Prospective Randomized Trial Comparing Mitomycin C Combined with Ologen Implant versus Mitomycin C Alone as Adjuvants in Trabeculectomy.

The addition of a biodegradable collagen implant (Ologen) does not improve efficacy of MMC-augmented trabeculectomy in primary adult glaucomas.

Quantification of Iridotrabecular Contact in Primary Angle-Closure Disease.

Iridotomy at any stage of PACD shows a significant decrease in ITC, with areas of residual ITC.

Long-Term Evaluation of Specular Microscopic Changes Following Nd: YAG Iridotomy in Chronic Primary Angle-Closure Glaucoma Eyes.

An Nd:YAG iridotomy in CPACG eyes did not lead to any significant changes in central corneal specular microscopy in the long term as compared with patients who did not undergo iridotomy.

A New Technique of iPhone 11 Pro Max Smartphone-aided Angle Video and Standstill Image Documentation.

Under 1× mode, the magnification is further increased to 3× to document high-quality imaging findings of angle.

Comparative Evaluation of Rebound and Perkins Tonometers in Pediatric Glaucoma With Varied Corneal Characteristics.

Icare tonometer overestimated IOP as compared with Perkins and this variation was higher in eyes with IOP≥19 mm Hg, CCT >615 μm, and scarred corneas. A moderate correlation between IOP and CCT for both tonometers was noted.

Efficacy of Micropulse Laser Cyclophotocoagulation Therapy in Primary Angle Closure Glaucoma.

MP-TSCPC can be used as an interim procedure to reduce IOP in PACG eyes and delay the need for invasive surgery.

Efficacy of Trabeculectomy Combined With Limited Deep Sclerectomy Versus Trabeculectomy Alone: A Randomized-controlled Trial.

The addition of LDS to trabeculectomy led to lower mean IOP and higher success rates at 12 months, compared with trabeculectomy alone.

Evaluation of Visual Cortex Activity Using Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy in Primary Open Angle and Primary Angle Closure Glaucoma: A Pilot Study.

In patients with glaucoma, a reduction in visual cortical activity was observed, which may be indicative of neuronal degeneration occurring in the occipital cortex.

Silicon Oil-Induced Glaucoma.

The Untoward Effect of Neglected Cataracts: Phacolytic Glaucoma.

Presumed Posteriorly Luxated Schwalbe Line.

The Untoward Effect of Neglected Cataracts: Phacomorphic Glaucoma.

In Reply: Long-term Evaluation of Specular Microscopic Changes Following Nd: YAG Iridotomy in Chronic Primary Angle-closure Glaucoma Eyes.

The Long-term Outcome of Primary "Bleb-sparing, Epithelial Exchange" in Dysfunctional Filtering Blebs.

Epithelial peeling of the bleb with replacement by advancement, without bleb excision, maintains bleb function and resolves bleb dysfunction in the long term.

Functional evaluation of an iridotomy in primary angle closure eyes.

This comprehensive functional evaluation of laser iridotomy in early PAC eyes showed a significant reduction in the pupillary block component of IOP response to provocative testing, possibly decreasing IOP fluctuations over time.

Differences in Optic Disc Characteristics of Primary Congenital Glaucoma, Juvenile, and Adult Onset Open Angle Glaucoma Patients.

The optic discs of juvenile onset open angle glaucoma tend to be larger in size than adult onset POAG discs.

Evaluating the long-term efficacy of short-duration 0.1 mg/ml and 0.2 mg/ml MMC in primary trabeculectomy for primary adult glaucoma.

A 1-min subconjunctival application of low dose 0.1 mg/ml MMC is non-inferior to 0.2 mg/ml and is probably a safer alternative, as thinning of the bleb is significantly less frequent in the long term.

Illuminated microcatheter circumferential trabeculotomy versus combined trabeculotomy-trabeculectomy for primary congenital glaucoma: a randomized controlled trial.

Illuminated microcatheter-assisted circumferential trabeculotomy achieved comparable surgical outcomes to mitomycin C-augmented combined trabeculotomy-trabeculectomy and may be recommended as the initial surgical procedure for primary congenital glaucoma.

Functional pituitary tumors masquerading as primary glaucoma and effect of hypophysectomy on intraocular tension.

We conclude that pituitary adenomas may mimic primary glaucoma without producing vertical hemianopia and cause a reversible rise in IOP.

Corneal changes in childhood glaucoma.

Childhood glaucoma causes a significant increase in posterior corneal elevation and irregular astigmatism, which contribute to visual disability in such eyes.

Temporal retinal thickness in eyes with glaucomatous visual field defects using optical coherence tomography.

OCT-3-generated S/I RT ratios were successfully able to reproduce the structural damage in eyes with early and advanced glaucoma field defects and can complement optic disc scanning protocols in diagnosing glaucoma at an early stage.
