Intraocular Pressure Elevation Following Intravitreal Anti-VEGF Injections: Short- and Long-term Considerations.

Furthermore, there are challenges in determining the impact of postinjection IOP elevation on the health of the retinal ganglion cells, particularly given the often-existing comorbidities of retinal and glaucoma pathology.

Risk for Exfoliation Syndrome in Women With Pelvic Organ Prolapse : A Utah Project on Exfoliation Syndrome (UPEXS) Study.

The diagnosis of exfoliation syndrome was more frequent in women with pelvic organ prolapse in the Utah Population Database, a robust population-based resource, thus supporting an association of exfoliation syndrome with a nonocular systemic condition.

Association of Exfoliation Syndrome With Risk of Indirect Inguinal Hernia: The Utah Project on Exfoliation Syndrome.

Inguinal hernia was associated with an increased risk of XFS in this Utah population. Further work is needed to understand the pathophysiology, genetics, and environmental factors contributing to both diseases.

Management of Glaucoma in Pregnancy.

Thus, managing glaucoma in pregnancy is a delicate balance between treatment to prevent damage to the optic nerve in the mother and avoidance of interventions potentially harmful to the fetus.

Association between Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Exfoliation Syndrome: The Utah Project on Exfoliation Syndrome.

Patients with OSA may be at an increased risk of XFS compared with patients without OSA, particularly in patients with a history of HTN.

Risk of atrial fibrillation is increased in patients with exfoliation syndrome: the Utah project on exfoliation syndrome (UPEXS).

Exfoliation syndrome patients were at a statistically significant increased risk of atrial fibrillation. Similarly, atrial fibrillation patients were at a statistically significant higher risk of exfoliation, particularly when hypertension history was absent.

Head and Neck Region Dermatological Ultraviolet-Related Cancers are Associated with Exfoliation Syndrome in a Clinic-Based Population.

Head and neck region BCCs or SCCs are associated with a higher risk of having XFS or XFG.

Identifiable Historic and Observable Factors May Predict Progression to Exfoliation Glaucoma in Newly Diagnosed Exfoliation Patients.

We determined a set of clinically relevant factors that predicted which newly diagnosed XFS patients progressed to XFG within 3 years.

Glaucoma Management in Sturge-Weber Syndrome Using the Delphi Process.

Consensus for screening, diagnosis, and management in patients with SWS is designed to hopefully improve clinical practice and patient outcomes.

Ocular Hypertension Following Intravitreal Antivascular Endothelial Growth Factor Therapy: Review of the Literature and Possible Role of Nitric Oxide.

Sustained ocular hypertension following the intravitreal administration of antivascular endothelial growth factor agents is a potentially serious side effect that has not been adequately explained.

Upper limits of intraocular pressure in glaucoma clinical trials.
