A Review on Pathogens and Necessary Diagnostic Work for Bleb-Related Infections (BRIs).

At the present time, as newer techniques and minimally invasive procedures gain popularity among anterior segment surgeons for regulating intraocular pressure, trabeculectomy still has a leading role in glaucoma surgery. Trabeculectomy retains a highly successful and safe profile; however, one of the major complications includes bleb-related infections (BRIs). To date, the most common pathogens remain , but the list of pathogens that have been identified in the literature includes more than 100 microorganisms.

XEN-related hypotonous maculopathy from iatrogenic cyclodialysis cleft treated with argon laser gonio-cyclopexy.

We present a previously undescribed case of a persistent hypotony maculopathy secondary to an iatrogenic cyclodialysis cleft created during XEN-45 gel stent insertion. We present this case as a further analysis of the case of cyclopexy by the corresponding surgeon. Following right XEN-45 implantation, our patient developed immediate and persistent postoperative hypotony for 4 weeks.

Policy-Driven, Multimodal Deep Learning for Predicting Visual Fields from the Optic Disc and OCT Imaging.

Purpose: To develop and validate a deep learning (DL) system for predicting each point on visual fields (VFs) from disc and OCT imaging and derive a structure-function mapping.

Design: Retrospective, cross-sectional database study.

Participants: A total of 6437 patients undergoing routine care for glaucoma in 3 clinical sites in the United Kingdom.

A retrospective review of XEN implant surgery: efficacy, safety and the effect of combined cataract surgery.

Objectives: To investigate the safety and efficacy of glaucoma XEN stent implantation and examine the effect of undergoing combined phacoemulsification and XEN versus XEN implant alone.

Methods: A retrospective case note review of patients who underwent XEN implantation by a single surgeon over a 24-month period was performed. Outcomes included changes in IOP and medication use after XEN implant insertion as well as complications post-surgery.

A multi-centre interventional case series of 259 ab-interno Xen gel implants for glaucoma, with and without combined cataract surgery.

Aims: To assess the efficacy of Xen in reducing intraocular pressure (IOP) in varying glaucoma subtypes. To assess the effect of combined phacoemulsification. To determine the frequency of complications and explore further bleb management needed.

Phacoemulsification in Eyes With Posttrabeculectomy Choroidal Detachment.

Four patients developed choroidal detachment within 3 months after trabeculectomy, documented with b-scan ultrasonography (BUS) and ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM). Intraocular pressure (IOP) of the patients ranged from 3 to 5 mm Hg. Patients were treated with cycloplegia and steroids without complete resolution of detachment.
