Effects of reduction in intraocular pressure after trabeculotomy on axial length and intraocular lens selection.

Purpose: To investigate the relationship between intraocular pressure (IOP) and axial length (AL) and to compare the refractive predicted error in patients who have undergone cataract surgery alone or in combination with trabeculotomy.

Setting: Hospital.

Design: Single-center, retrospective, case-control.

Clinical Outcomes of Phacoemulsification in Japanese Patients Receiving First and Revised Second-Generation Trabecular Microbypass Stents.

Purpose: This study evaluated the effectiveness and safety of first and revised second-generation trabecular microbypass stent insertion [iStent (IS) and iStent inject W (IW)] in cataract surgery.

Design: Single-center, retrospective, cohort study.

Methods: The study included 176 eyes that received trabecular microbypass stents combined with cataract surgery at the Saitama Red Cross Hospital between September 2017 and September 2021.

More Accurate Diagnosis of Vitreoretinal Lymphoma Using a Combination of Diagnostic Test Results: A Prospective Observational Study.

Purpose: To establish diagnostic criteria for vitreoretinal lymphoma (VRL) using cytology and laboratory tests from vitreous samples: interleukin (IL)-10/IL-6 ratio, immunoglobulin (Ig) H gene rearrangement, and clonal B-cells on flow cytometry.

Methods: Fifty-six patients with and 39 without VRL were included. We assessed the sensitivity and specificity of each test and those of diagnostic criteria based on combinations of these tests.

Frequency of Uveitis in the Central Tokyo Area (2010-2012).

Purpose: To investigate the frequency of conditions of newly arrived patients with uveitis from 2010 to 2012 and compare this frequency with that since 2004.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed clinical records of patients who visited the outpatient clinic from January 2010 to December 2012, and compared them with those from 2004-2009.

Results: From 2010 to 2012, 695 new patients with uveitis visited Tokyo University Hospital, with a definite diagnosis made in 431 (62.

Detection of progression of glaucomatous visual field damage using the point-wise method with the binomial test.

Purpose: To compare the performance of newly proposed point-wise linear regression (PLR) with the binomial test (binomial PLR) against mean deviation (MD) trend analysis and permutation analyses of PLR (PoPLR), in detecting global visual field (VF) progression in glaucoma.

Methods: 15 VFs (Humphrey Field Analyzer, SITA standard, 24-2) were collected from 96 eyes of 59 open angle glaucoma patients (6.0 ± 1.
