Efficacy of Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty after iStent Implantation in Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma.

iStent implantation is thought to augment the trabecular outflow channel in the anterior segment of the eye. We hypothesized that iStent with subsequent selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) would better control the intraocular pressure (IOP) compared to standalone SLT in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG). We, therefore, determined if the presence of an iStent combined with SLT was statistically associated with IOP lowering compared to standalone SLT.

Ocular pain response to treatment in dry eye patients.

Purpose: Pain is a frequently reported symptom in dry eye disease (DED). We examine the factors associated with ocular pain severity and patient-reported improvement in ocular pain to commonly used dry eye and pain treatments.

Methods: Cross-sectional study of patients presenting for dry eye management.
