Ab interno supraciliary microstent surgery for open-angle glaucoma.

Background: Glaucoma is the leading cause of global irreversible blindness, often associated with raised intraocular pressure (IOP). Where medical or laser treatment has failed or is not tolerated, surgery is often required. Minimally-invasive surgical approaches have been developed in recent years to reduce IOP with lower surgical risks.

Ab Interno Gel Implant-associated Bleb-related Infection.

Purpose: To examine the presentation and management of 3 cases of bleb-related infection following ab interno gel implant surgery, so as to add to the growing understanding of complications associated with the emerging landscape of newer, minimally invasive glaucoma surgical procedures, and how they are best managed.

Design: Multicenter retrospective interventional case series.

Methods: Consecutive cases of bleb-related infection following ab interno gel implant surgery from 2 university-affiliated hospitals were included.

In Vivo 3-Dimensional Strain Mapping of the Optic Nerve Head Following Intraocular Pressure Lowering by Trabeculectomy.

Purpose: To map the 3-dimensional (3D) strain of the optic nerve head (ONH) in vivo after intraocular pressure (IOP) lowering by trabeculectomy (TE) and to establish associations between ONH strain and retinal sensitivity.

Design: Observational case series.

Participants: Nine patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) and 3 normal controls.

Intraocular lens delivery characteristics of the preloaded AcrySof IQ SN60WS/AcrySert injectable lens system.

Objective: To evaluate the delivery characteristics of the AcrySof IQ SN60WS intraocular lens (IOL) injected via a preloaded AcrySert delivery system.

Design: Prospective observational case series.

Methods: setting: This study was carried out in the cataract service of an ophthalmic hospital that serves a large sector of inner-city London.
