Improving long-term intraocular pressure and visual outcomes in eyes with aniridic glaucoma.

Purpose: To study the long-term intraocular pressure (IOP) and visual outcomes in treated aniridic glaucoma.

Methods: A retrospective chart review of patients with aniridia and glaucoma, with ≥ 2-year follow-up, was performed. Eyes in early glaucomatous stages were medically managed, while moderate-severe stage eyes underwent a trabeculectomy with mitomycin-c (MMC).

In Vivo Imaging of the Schlemm's Canal and the Response to Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty.

Objective: To evaluate the presence of angle dysgenesis on ASOCT (anterior segment optical coherence tomography) (ADoA) as a predictive factor in determining outcomes of selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT).

Design: A prospective clinical cohort study.

Subjects: Patients with juvenile-onset open-angle glaucoma (JOAG) without angle dysgenesis on gonioscopy.

Digenic Inheritance in Juvenile Open-Angle Glaucoma.

Juvenile open-angle glaucoma (JOAG) is an uncommon subset of primary glaucoma with an onset before the age of 40 years. In this case report, we describe the cosegregation of , p.Pro370Leu and , p.

Comparative Evaluation of Rebound and Perkins Tonometers in Pediatric Glaucoma With Varied Corneal Characteristics.

Precis: Icare tonometer overestimated intraocular pressure (IOP) as compared with Perkins and this variation was higher in IOP>19 mm Hg and corneal opacity in patients with pediatric glaucoma.

Purpose: To compare the IOP measured by Icare ic200 with Perkins tonometer in pediatric glaucoma with different corneal characteristics.

Methods: Patients of pediatric glaucoma posted for routine examination under anesthesia, age below 12 years were enrolled.

Achieving low target intraocular pressures in severe glaucoma.

Purpose: This study aimed to assess details of therapy required to achieve an intraocular pressure (IOP) of ⩽12 mmHg in patients with severe glaucoma of different etiologies.

Methods: Patients with a follow-up of at least 1 year, who fulfilled inclusion criteria were selected, and data analyzed with respect to baseline IOP, number of medications, and/or surgeries required to achieve an IOP of ⩽12 mmHg and ⩾6 mmHg. Final IOP, visual field status and medications/surgery required were noted.

Safety and efficacy of incisional goniotomy as an adjunct with phacoemulsification in primary angle-closure glaucoma.

Purpose: To evaluate the intraocular pressure (IOP)-lowering efficacy and safety of incisional goniotomy as an adjunct to phacoemulsification in primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG) patients.

Methods: Consecutive patients with PACG (high or borderline IOP) deemed fit for phacoemulsification were enrolled. After phacoemulsification, incisional goniotomy was performed with or without goniosynechialysis.

Trabeculectomy on Animal Eye Model for Resident Surgical Skill Training: The Need of the Hour.

: To describe a goats' eye training model for teaching of trabeculectomy and releasable suture techniques for Ophthalmology residents. : A descriptive report explaining the methodology for setting up a goats' eye wet-lab model for teaching trabeculectomy for Ophthalmology residents. It details the approaches to eyeball preparation, steps of surgery, application and release of two representative types of 'releasable sutures' in a step-by-step manner.

Classifying juvenile onset primary open angle glaucoma using cluster analysis.

Aim: To classify unrelated patients with juvenile onset primary open angle glaucoma (JOAG) into clinically useful phenotypes using cluster analysis.

Methods: Out of the 527 unrelated patients with JOAG, the study included 414 patients who had all the phenotypic characteristics required for the study. A cluster analysis was performed to classify the patients based on their iris and angle morphology, age of onset, highest untreated intraocular pressure (IOP), worst mean deviation and greatest vertical cup disc ratio of the worst eye.

Supracapsular fixation for repositioning Ahmed glaucoma valve in case with tube-endothelial touch.

A new technique of correcting tube-corneal touch is described in a case of Ahmed glaucoma valve implantation. This technique repositions the intracameral tube without externalization unlike the standard procedures which aim to correct tube-corneal touch. The technique makes use of a transscleral supracapsular anchor suture to facilitate repositioning of the tube within the ciliary sulcus.

Single-point pivot for combined repair of concurrent iridodialysis and cyclodialysis.

Iridodialysis and cyclodialysis can occur simultaneously in patients with blunt trauma to the eye, and both might necessitate surgical correction when symptoms emerge. Numerous techniques are used to repair each dialysis individually; thus, the patient will have to return to the operating room for each additional surgery. To our knowledge, the literature lacks techniques to manage both conditions simultaneously.
