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.

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.

The effect of glaucoma treatment using high-intensity focused ultrasound on total and corneal astigmatism: a prospective multicentre study.

Ultrasound cycloplasty procedure is associated with increased corneal astigmatism. However, its impact on total refractive astigmatism is less pronounced.

The vitreopapillary interface in healthy and glaucoma: posterior vitreous detachment in the vitreopapillary interface study.

The VPI study is a large clinical trial investigating the VPI in health and glaucoma. A subset of glaucoma patients seems to experience stages 1-3 of PVD formation at older age compared to healthy subjects.
