A randomized trial demonstrates that using an autologous anterior lens capsule as an intrascleral spacer during deep sclerectomy combined with phacoemulsification lowers intraocular pressure and enhances surgical success in glaucoma patient
Morgagnian cataracts present with severe visual impairment, elevated intraocular pressure, and zonular instability. Surgical management is challenging but can significantly improve vision and reduce pressure with individualized approaches.
A cohort study identifies key risk factors such as faster baseline visual field loss, higher post-progression intraocular pressure, and older age that predict recurrence of visual field progression in glaucoma, emphasizing the need for pers
Mitomycin C applied via injection or sponge during trabeculectomy offers comparable intraocular pressure control and safety, with injection potentially yielding more favorable bleb morphology and fewer postoperative interventions.
Novel IOP metrics from remote home tonometry reflecting exceeding patient-specific IOP targets are significantly associated with visual field progression in treated open-angle glaucoma, outperforming conventional in-office measures.
This retrospective cohort study compares visual field progression after repeat trabeculectomy versus Ahmed glaucoma valve implantation in eyes with prior trabeculectomy failure, revealing similar postoperative visual outcomes but greater in
A stress test measuring intraocular pressure identifies glaucoma patients at risk of rapid progression despite normal office pressure readings, offering complementary prognostic insights beyond routine checks.
This study evaluates long-term outcomes of selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) in controlling intraocular pressure and preventing visual field deterioration, identifying clinical factors influencing effectiveness and progression risk.
This post hoc analysis of the ANA-LIS trial elucidates key anterior segment anatomical and clinical predictors—including baseline intraocular pressure and plateau iris configuration—that increase the risk of progression from primary angle c
This study compares diagnostic-only versus combined diagnostic and treatment-based definitions of glaucoma in UK Biobank participants, revealing stronger associations of risk factors and severity biomarkers with definitions including treatm
A multicenter cohort study of 1.8 million clinic encounters reveals that while clinicians view intraocular pressure as a continuous risk factor, the historical 22 mm Hg cutoff remains a significant psychological trigger for escalating glauc
This study reveals that socioeconomic status, residential location, and household composition significantly affect treatment outcomes and follow-up in newly diagnosed POAG patients, highlighting the need for targeted strategies to improve g
