Precis: At 1-year postoperative follow-up, concurrent placement of a dexamethasone intravitreal implant and glaucoma drainage device effectively controlled intraocular pressure (IOP) and inflammation in eyes with uveitic glaucoma with no changes in systemic immunomodulatory therapy.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess 1-year postoperative outcomes in eyes with uncontrolled uveitic glaucoma following concurrent placement of a dexamethasone intravitreal implant and glaucoma drainage device.
Materials And Methods: This is a retrospective, observational case series of patients with chronic, noninfectious uveitis and uveitic glaucoma uncontrolled on maximal tolerated medical therapy with at least 1-year postoperative follow-up.
Schwartz-Matsuo syndrome: An important cause of secondary glaucoma.
Am J Ophthalmol Case Rep
March 2020
Purpose: We report a case of Schwartz-Matsuo syndrome that highlights the pathophysiology, diagnostic challenges, and management considerations of this rare disease.
Observations: 31-year-old man with a history of left eye cataract presented with left eye photophobia and elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) of 64 mm Hg. Visual acuity 20/40.
Purpose: To investigate the relationship between central corneal thickness (CCT) and diabetes disease severity among patients with diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) compared with controls.
Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 34 participants were examined. DPN status was assessed by clinical examination, nerve conduction studies, and quantitative sensory testing.
Advanced pigment dispersion glaucoma secondary to phakic intraocular collamer lens implant.
Am J Ophthalmol Case Rep
June 2018
Purpose: We report a case of pigment dispersion glaucoma secondary to uncomplicated phakic intraocular collamer lens (ICL) (Visian ICL™, Staar Inc., Monrovia, CA) implant that resulted in advanced visual field loss.
Observations: A 50-year-old man presented for routine follow-up status post bilateral phakic intraocular collamer lens (ICL) placement 8 years earlier.
Objective: To report baseline characteristics and surgical outcomes of placement of simultaneous glaucoma drainage devices (GDDs) in eyes with considerably elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) despite maximal medical therapy.
Design: Retrospective case series.
Participants: Twelve eyes of 12 patients underwent simultaneous placement of a Baerveldt 350 GDD and an Ahmed S3 GDD in the same eye.
Introduction: Glaucoma is an optic neuropathy with characteristic progressive optic nerve degeneration. Early detection and treatment may prevent blindness; however, the value of glaucoma screening has been debated.
Methods: Articles pertaining to glaucoma screening were reviewed.
