Vision-related quality of life in patients with glaucoma before and after trabeculectomy.

Purpose: To determine vision-related quality of life (VR-QoL) and functional and structural parameters associated with VR-QoL in patients with glaucoma before and 12 months after trabeculectomy.

Methods: Fifty-eight patients undergoing trabeculectomy were included. Participants completed the 25-item National Eye Institute Visual Function Questionnaire (VFQ-25) prior to and 12 months after trabeculectomy.

Steroids and/or Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs as Postoperative Treatment after Trabeculectomy-12-Month Results of a Randomized Controlled Trial.

This prospective randomized controlled trial aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of topical preservative-free diclofenac (DICLO) to dexamethasone (DEX) eyedrops, and their combination (DEX+DICLO) after trabeculectomy. Sixty-nine patients with medically uncontrolled glaucoma were randomized to receive topical postoperative treatment with DICLO ( = 23), DEX ( = 23), or a combination of DEX and DICLO ( = 23). The primary outcome was the intraocular pressure (IOP) 12 months postoperatively.

Early Inflammation Control After Trabeculectomy by Steroid and Non-steroidal Eye Drops: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Introduction: To compare the effect of three different anti-inflammatory regimens consisting of preservative-free dexamethasone (DEX), diclofenac (DICLO) eye drops, and their combination (DEX + DICLO) following trabeculectomy on early postoperative inflammation.

Methods: A prospective randomized controlled trial. Sixty-nine patients undergoing trabeculectomy were randomized to receive either postoperative treatment with topical DEX (n = 23), topical DICLO (n = 23), or a combination of topical DEX and topical DICLO (n = 23) after trabeculectomy.

Characterization of correlations of fast-ion H-alpha measurement volumes in Wendelstein 7-X by particle tracking.

This paper characterizes the correlation of simultaneous measurements with different fast-ion H-alpha (FIDA) spectroscopy sightlines on Wendelstein 7-X. Using a collisionless guiding-center code, it is shown that, for two investigated volumes in the bulk of the plasma, some regions of phase space are correlated and the magnetic configuration has little influence on this correlation. For the sightlines of the FIDA system, the correlation between these is explained well by the magnetic configuration.

Steroid Response after Trabeculectomy-A Randomized Controlled Trial Comparing Dexamethasone to Diclofenac Eye Drops.

This prospective randomized controlled trial aimed to compare changes in intraocular pressure in three different anti-inflammatory regimens following trabeculectomy. Sixty-nine patients were randomized to receive either postoperative prophylaxis with topical preservative-free dexamethasone (DEX), diclofenac (DICLO), or their combination (DEX+DICLO). Our main outcome measure was an intraocular pressure (IOP) change of a minimum 4 mmHg following the withdrawal of anti-inflammatory prophylaxis 9 weeks after trabeculectomy.
