Patient Outcomes Following Micropulse Transscleral Cyclophotocoagulation: Intermediate-term Results.

Our large longitudinal cohort study has provided evidence that MPTSCPC is a safe and generally effective option in the treatment of POAG up to 12 months.

Surgical Outcomes of Phacoemulsification Followed by iStent Implantation Versus Goniotomy With the Kahook Dual Blade in Patients With Mild Primary Open-angle Glaucoma With a Minimum of 12-Month Follow-up.

Phacoemulsification in combination with either iStent implantation or goniotomy using the KDB both achieved statistical significant reduction in IOP and number of glaucoma medications at 12 months of follow-up in patients with mild primary open-angle…

Effect of 2 Novel Sustained-release Drug Release Systems on Bleb Fibrosis: An In Vivo Trabeculectomy Study in a Rabbit Model.

We successfully created a sustained-release antifibrotic drug delivery system that delivered known dosage of the drugs at doses that are significantly lower than the current standard, and resulted in less fibrosis while maintaining a healthy…

Latanoprost-Eluting Contact Lenses in Glaucomatous Monkeys.

Sustained delivery of latanoprost by contact lenses is at least as effective as delivery with daily latanoprost ophthalmic solution.

The Ahmed Versus Baerveldt Study: Five-Year Treatment Outcomes.

Both implants were effective in reducing IOP and the need for glaucoma medications.

Comparison of Surgical Outcomes Between Phacocanaloplasty and Phacotrabeculectomy at 12 Months' Follow-up: A Longitudinal Cohort Study.

Phacocanaloplasty and phacotrabeculectomy both achieved significant reduction in IOP and improvement in VA at 12 months with comparable success rates.

Effect of Two Novel Sustained-Release Drug Delivery Systems on Bleb Fibrosis: An In Vivo Glaucoma Drainage Device Study in a Rabbit Model.

We successfully created a sustained-release drug delivery system that decreased the postoperative fibrosis using both a nonbiodegradable P(HEMA) polymer and a biodegradable (PLGA) polymer. Both systems appear to work equally well with no side effects.
