Article Synopsis
- Intraluminal placement of a 3-0 Supramid stent is shown to be an effective long-term solution for reversing hypotony (low eye pressure) after glaucoma drainage device (GDD) surgery, potentially reducing the need for additional surgical dissection.
- In a study involving 9 patients, all experienced resolution of hypotony, with a total success rate of 7 out of 9 eyes after an average follow-up of 33.3 months.
- Some patients required further interventions post-stent placement, but the stent procedure still presents a beneficial option for managing hypotony effectively.

Purpose: To describe the diagnosis and management of a patient with primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) who developed suprachoroidal hemorrhage (SCH) after micropulse cyclophotocoagulation (MPCPC) therapy.
Observations: A 77 year-old Caucasian man with end-stage POAG and multiple medical comorbidities including coronary artery disease on anticoagulation presented with 2 days of episodic, severe left eye pain 2 weeks after undergoing MPCPC diode in the left eye. His visual acuity was count fingers at 2 feet and his intraocular pressure (IOP) was 44.
Purpose: To evaluate parafoveal and peripapillary perfusion in healthy, glaucoma suspect, normal-tension glaucoma, and primary open-angle glaucoma subjects.
Patients And Methods: This was a retrospective cross-sectional study with optical coherence tomography angiography imaging with RTVue XR Avanti (Optovue, Inc., Fremont, CA) of 56 eyes (14 healthy, 14 glaucoma suspect, 16 normal-tension glaucoma, and 12 primary open-angle glaucoma) at a tertiary academic referral center.
Purpose: To study the impact of ocular hypotensive lipids (OHL) on the incidence, progression, and response to treatment of clinically significant diabetic macular edema (CSDME).
Methods: A total of 379 patients (232 female, 147 male) with a history of diabetes mellitus (DM) and primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) were identified and included in the study. Patients were stratified into groups based on CSDME development and OHL exposure.
