Risk Factors for Flat Anterior Chamber Requiring Intervention After Glaucoma Drainage Implant: A Retrospective Case-Controlled Study.

Purpose: To identify risk factors for flat anterior chamber that required additional intervention in the postoperative period (90 days) after uncomplicated Baerveldt Glaucoma Implant (BGI) surgery.

Design: Retrospective, matched case-control study.

Methods: A total of 42 cases (eyes) that received BGI at Anne Bates Leach Eye Hospital between February 1, 2011, and January 1, 2019, and that developed flat anterior chamber were included.

Factors Associated With Gonioscopy-Assisted Transluminal Trabeculotomy (GATT) Complications and Failure in Children.

Purpose: To identify the factors associated with the complications and failure of gonioscopy-assisted transluminal trabeculotomy (GATT) in children.

Design: Retrospective case series.

Methods: This study was conducted in an institutional setting in a pediatric population (aged <18 years) who had undergone GATT.

Endophthalmitis Associated with Baerveldt Tube Exposure.

is a Gram-negative bacillus and a rare cause of endophthalmitis. An 85-year-male presented with late-onset endophthalmitis associated with exposure of an inferonasal Baerveldt tube. The patient was initially treated with anterior chamber paracentesis and intravitreal antibiotics.

Multimodal Imaging Findings in Two Children With Microphthalmos.

Microphthalmos, also called microphthalmia, is a rare developmental disorder of the eye that can be caused by genetic or chromosomal abnormalities or environmental factors. The spectrum of clinical presentation includes nanophthalmia and posterior microphthalmia. It affects approximately one in 1,000 individuals, although there is insufficient literature regarding the clinical and different imaging modalities findings.

Rates of RNFL Thinning in Patients with Suspected or Confirmed Glaucoma Receiving Unilateral Intravitreal Injections for Exudative AMD.

Purpose: This study evaluated whether the rate of retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thinning is faster in eyes receiving intravitreal injections than in fellow uninjected eyes among patients suspected of having or confirmed to have glaucoma and exudative age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

Design: Retrospective comparative cohort study.

Methods: Patients with a diagnosis of unilateral exudative AMD and confirmed to have or suspected of having glaucoma in both eyes receiving unilateral intravitreal injections were identified.

Gonioscopy-assisted Transluminal Trabeculotomy (GATT) in Patients With Secondary Open-Angle Glaucoma Following Vitreoretinal Surgery.

Purpose: To examine the short-term efficacy and safety of gonioscopy-assisted transluminal trabeculotomy (GATT) in a series of patients who developed glaucoma following vitreoretinal surgery.

Patients And Methods: Retrospective case series of consecutive patients aged above 18 years with secondary open-angle glaucoma following vitreoretinal surgery who had undergone GATT between January 2015 and June 2019. Eyes were excluded if there is<1 month of follow-up or glaucoma before vitreoretinal surgery.

Retinal vein-to-vein anastomoses in Sturge-Weber syndrome documented by ultra-widefield fluorescein angiography.

We report the case of a 6-year-old boy with Sturge-Weber syndrome and unilateral glaucoma in his left eye. He was born with a port wine mark involving his upper left eyelid. On ultra-widefield fluorescein angiography, he was found to have several vein-to-vein anastomoses in his left retina.

Phthisis bulbi after lensectomy in retinopathy of prematurity eyes previously treated with laser photocoagulation.

Purpose: On rare occasions, patients with retinopathy of prematurity develop anterior segment ischemia after laser photocoagulation treatment. The purpose of this investigation was to describe the visual outcomes and the risk of phthisis bulbi after lensectomy in patients with history of retinopathy of prematurity laser photocoagulation and attached retinas at the time of lensectomy.

Methods: A retrospective case series including 3 patients who underwent diode laser photocoagulation for retinopathy of prematurity and developed unilateral anterior segment ischemia with subsequent cataract formation, and then phthisis bulbi after uncomplicated lensectomy.

The effect of rectus muscle recession, resection and plication on anterior segment circulation in humans.

Background: Plication is an alternative tightening procedure to resection. In monkeys, plication has been shown to preserve anterior segment circulation compared with full-tendon tenotomy, but this is unconfirmed in humans.

Purpose: To evaluate anterior segment circulation by iris angiography before and after strabismus surgery in humans.
