Clinical Registries in Ophthalmology.

The use of clinical registries for quality improvement and research has grown significantly in the last few decades, and this trend will continue as information technology infrastructures develop.

Frontloading SITA-Faster Can Increase Frequency and Reliability of Visual Field Testing at Minimal Time Cost.

Frontloading VFs using SFR produced sets of repeatable perimetric data with significant improvement of reliability indices from the first to second test.

Evaluation of the Consistency of Glaucomatous Visual Field Defects Using a Clustered SITA-Faster Protocol.

Frontloading SFR tests can provide repeatable data for the evaluation of the consistency of pattern deviation defects in glaucoma, with no observable decline in performance from test fatigue.

Quantification and Predictors of Visual Field Variability in Healthy, Glaucoma Suspect, and Glaucomatous Eyes Using SITA-Faster.

The variability of SFR increases with worsening threshold sensitivity, is stable over time, and is greater for peripheral compared with central test locations.

ChatGPT for Addressing Patient-centered Frequently Asked Questions in Glaucoma Clinical Practice.

ChatGPT-3.5 responses to FAQs in glaucoma were generally agreeable in terms of coherency, factuality, comprehensiveness, and safety.

Outcomes and Baseline Predictors of Failure in Primary Standalone Xen45 Gel Stent versus Trabeculectomy for Glaucoma.

There was significantly greater complete success at 12 months across all complete success definitions for Trab compared with Xen, whereas the rate of postoperative hypotony was significantly lower in the Xen group.

Longitudinal variability outcomes of frontloaded visual field testing.

Frontloading VF tests on the same visit may help clinicians meet the recommendations of minimum test frequency in glaucoma and can decrease the longitudinal variability of global and pointwise sensitivity changes.

The Frontloading Approach to Meet Guideline-Recommended Visual Field Testing for Glaucoma: Time and Cost.

A frontloading approach and SITA-Faster paradigm led to patients attaining 6 reliable VFs over 14 months sooner than non-frontloaded, with >84% receiving the recommended number of 6 tests in the first 2 years.

Visual Field Progression Rates in Glaucoma: Frontloaded Versus Clinical Standard (Nonfrontloaded) SITA-Faster.

Frontloaded (two 24-2 SITA-Faster VF tests per eye per visit) tests detected more than twice the number of glaucoma progressors based on MD slopes in a cohort of patients with predominantly early glaucoma, compared with the clinical standard (1 VF per eye per visit).

Comparative Study of Early Safety and Effectiveness Outcomes of the PreserFlo MicroShunt with and without an Intraluminal Suture Stent.

The use of an intraluminal suture stent in PreserFlo MicroShunt surgery reduces the incidence of early hypotony without compromising surgical success.

Long-term comparative outcomes of Hydrus versus iStent inject microinvasive glaucoma surgery implants combined with cataract surgery.

There was no significant difference in surgical success between phaco-Hydrus and phaco-iStent groups at 48 months.

Association Between Prior Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty and Phaco-iStent Inject Efficacy.

In this observational study, prior SLT was associated with an increased risk of failure after phaco-iStent inject surgery.

On the Feasibility of Accelerating Glaucoma Clinical Trials Using Portable Perimetry.

Home VF assessments, despite poorer reliability than current reference standard ("in-clinic") devices, would allow faster or greater detection of glaucoma progression via an increased frequency of testing, and could reduce the sample size requirements of future clinical trials.

Prediction of repeatable glaucomatous visual field defects based on cluster characteristics.

The location, size and volume of clusters of defects on an initial VF test may be predictive of subsequent repeatability. This may help distinguish eyes with a higher risk of repeatable defects.

Impact of Different Intraocular Pressure and Medication Endpoint Criteria on Success Rates in Subconjunctival Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery.

Using different IOP and medication criteria to define success can have a significant influence on the apparent risk of failure, particularly at the 21 mm Hg threshold and when incorporating a minimum 20% IOP reduction from baseline.

Trabeculectomy Augmented With Anti-VEGF Improves Surgical Outcomes in Glaucoma: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Anti-VEGF agents improve trabeculectomy outcomes when used with Mitomycin-C, enhancing complete success rates and reducing medication needs.

Risk Factors for Failure in Minimally Invasive Bleb Surgery: A Systematic Review.

This review identified demographic and preoperative factors associated with MIBS failure, especially non-White ethnicity and reduced/no MMC use.

Refining Visual Field Trend Progression Criteria in Glaucoma: Impact of Significance Thresholds and Test Frequency.

A substantial proportion of apparent progression at the established P < 0.05 threshold may be falsely positive.

Quantitative Classification of Visual Field Defects in Early Glaucoma.

In a large cohort of suspect and early glaucoma, the most common VF defects were nasal step, enlarged blind spot and arcuate defects, with a significant difference in distribution between initial versus repeatable defects and reliable versus unreliable tests.

Outcomes of intraluminal ripcord removal from Paul glaucoma implants.

ROS from PGI resulted in at least 20% IOP or medication reduction in over 70% of eyes.
