Purpose: To assess the efficacy of adding Ahmed's sub-flap mattress suture to deep sclerectomy (DS).
Methods: Forty eyes with open angle glaucoma were assigned randomly into two groups: Group A: underwent DS with Ahmed's sub-flap mattress suture. Group B: underwent conventional DS.
Background: Intrastromal corneal ring segments are commonly implanted in the corneas of eyes with mild-to-moderate keratoconus; however, changes in corneal densitometry (CD) after implantation are a matter of debate in the current literature. We evaluated the changes in CD 1 and 3 months after femtosecond laser-assisted Keraring implantation.
Methods: This retrospective, non-comparative, multicenter, case series study included patients with keratoconus who underwent femtosecond laser-assisted implantation of double segments with 90° and 160° arc lengths or two 160° arc length Keraring segments.
Prcis: Sutureless deep sclerectomy (SDS) achieved significant reduction in primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) and juvenile open angle glaucoma (JOAG).
Purpose: To assess long-term results of SDS in cases with POAG and JOAG.
Patients And Methods: A prospective interventional study included 84 eyes of 54 patients underwent SDS with the superficial scleral flap left un-sutured.
Sutureless versus conventional deep sclerectomy for management of open angle glaucoma.

Introduction: To compare sutureless deep sclerectomy to conventional deep sclerectomy regarding their lowering effect on intraocular pressure (IOP) in cases with open-angle glaucoma.
Methods: This is a prospective interventional randomized comparative study that included 60 eyes of 50 patients with open-angle glaucoma (OAG) who were indicated for surgical intervention. Patients were recruited from the glaucoma subspecialty clinic of the Cairo University teaching hospital and were divided into two groups: group A (underwent sutureless deep sclerectomy) and group B (underwent conventional deep sclerectomy).
Purpose: To assess the IOP-lowering effect of adding a mattress suture (Ahmed's suture) to non-penetrating deep sclerectomy (NPDS), in patients with open angle glaucoma over a 12-month follow-up period.
Methods: This is a randomized controlled study comparing 52 eyes with a sub-flap Ahmed's suture modified NPDS (group A) and 51 with a conventional NPDS (group B). Success of surgery was categorized as complete success if the IOP remained between 6 and 18 mmHg without medications and as qualified if topical medications were required.
Purpose: To assess the safety and efficacy of combining nasal goniotomy with temporal trabeculotomy in the management of primary congenital glaucoma.
Design: Case series.
Methods: Fifteen eyes of eleven children (3-12 months old at presentation) were enrolled in this study after the establishment of PCG diagnosis based on the criteria placed by the World Glaucoma Association.
Glaucoma is the leading cause of blindness in the developed and developing world. Not only is the clinical impact of this disease considerable, but associated economic and humanistic burdens - affecting patients, caregivers, and society - are substantial. Since glaucoma is an age-related disorder and populations in many developing countries are aging at a faster pace than in the developed world, increasing attention is being focused on ways to ameliorate the burdens of illness.

Materials And Methods: This was a prospective, interventional case series of nine eyes of six patients with open angle glaucoma. Patients underwent deep sclerectomy with insertion of a segment of 5/0 prolene into Schlemm's canal at the filtration site without suturing.
