Two-year outcome of phacogoniotomy for advanced primary angle-closure glaucoma with cataracts: a multicentre study.

PEI+GSL+GT is shown to be effective and safe in treating advanced PACG with cataract over a 2-year follow-up period. The combined surgery may be considered as an alternative for patients with advanced PACG.

Two-Year Outcomes of Phacogoniotomy vs Phacotrabeculectomy for Advanced Primary Angle-Closure Glaucoma With Cataract: A Noninferiority Randomized Clinical Trial.

Mean IOP reduction with phacogoniotomy was noninferior to phacotrabeculectomy for advanced PACG and cataract at 2-year follow-up with no differences detected in complete or qualified success or mean number of antiglaucomatous medications.

Matricellular Protein Levels in Aqueous Humor and Surgical Outcomes of Trabeculectomy.

In previous APAC patients, the SPARC level in aqueous humor is a prognostic factor for surgical results of trabeculectomy. Modulation of SPARC expression may have potential clinical applications after filtration surgery.

Prevalence and Risk Factors of Glaucoma Among Chinese People From the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study.

Geographic variation in the prevalence of self-reported glaucoma and its strong association with preexisting systemic chronic diseases were observed, suggesting that in addition to ophthalmological examinations, regular physical examinations are necessary for glaucoma patients, especially in areas of high incidence.

Impact of Peripheral Anterior Synechiae on the Outcome of Combined Phacoemulsification, Goniosynechialysis, and Goniotomy for Primary Angle Closure Glaucoma and Cataract: A Multicenter Observational Study.

PEI+GSL+GT has proven to be an effective treatment for PACG with cataracts over a 1 year period. However, the outcome was not correlated with the preoperative extent of PAS.

Clinical Outcomes of Ahmed Glaucoma Valve Implantation With or Without Intravitreal Bevacizumab Pretreatment for Neovascular Glaucoma: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

The use of IVB pretreatment for NVG is a safe and effective additional step during AGV implantation surgery.

Aqueous humor concentration of VEGF and retinal oxygen saturation after unilateral acute primary angle closure.

Lower venular SO2 and increased A-V difference existed in the APAC eyes after surgery, and it is possible that the saturation was even lower during the attack.

Chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 2 and chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 7 in angle-closure glaucoma.

Concentrations of CCL2 and CCL7 as major inflammatory cytokines with potential influence on the risk of filtering surgery failure were significantly elevated after an acute glaucoma attack and decreased with longer interval to the attack.

Efficacy and safety of intravitreal bevacizumab in eyes with neovascular glaucoma undergoing ahmed glaucoma valve implantation: 2-year follow-up.

Levels of angiogenesis-related vascular endothelial growth factor family in neovascular glaucoma eyes.

There were high concentrations of angiogenesis factors of the VEGF family, with the exception of VEGF-B, in the aqueous humour of patients with NVG, and there was a positive correlation between VEGF-A and PlGF.

Enhanced depth imaging-optical coherence tomography of the choroid in moderate and severe primary angle-closure glaucoma.

The CT is greater in patients with PACG, but it does not differ between moderate and severe PACG, suggesting a lack of relationship between CT and the progression of glaucoma based on EDI-OCT measurements.

Soluble CD44 and vascular endothelial growth factor levels in patients with acute primary angle closure.

After acute increase of IOP in the APAC, the level of sCD44 and VEGF increased significantly in the aqueous humour. The damage due to high IOP may therefore be mediated through the release of sCD44.
