Article Synopsis
- In a study of laser trabeculoplasty (LTP) in glaucoma patients, eyes with lower baseline pressure, angle recession, or uveitis had shorter durations of successful pressure control after treatment.
- A large cohort (79,332 patients) was analyzed, revealing that eyes with higher initial intraocular pressure (IOP) had longer success durations, while factors like angle recession and uveitis significantly increased the risk of treatment failure.
- Patients not using medications before LTP experienced a median of 197 days without needing additional treatment, indicating that LTP can effectively extend medication-free periods for some individuals.
Importance: Pneumatic retinopexy (PR) is the only clinic-based method of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) repair. Registry-acquired clinical practice setting outcomes data with this procedure have not yet been reported.
Objective: To describe the clinical outcomes associated with RRD treated primarily with PR.
Objective: Choroidal neovascularization (CNV) is a rare, but devastating, cause of vision loss in children, with most current publications limited to small case series. Using a large clinical registry allowed us to understand the most common causes of this disease and the visual outcomes.
Design: Retrospective analysis.
Demographic and Clinical Characteristics Associated with Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery Use: An Intelligent Research in Sight (IRIS®) Registry Retrospective Cohort Analysis.

Purpose: Minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) is increasingly performed at the time of cataract extraction. Understanding the demographic and clinical characteristics of patients undergoing MIGS procedures may provide insight into patient selection. This study evaluates racial-ethnic and other differences in the use of MIGS in persons with cataract and open-angle glaucoma (OAG).

- - The study analyzed factors influencing the effectiveness of laser trabeculoplasty (LTP) in treating glaucoma by examining data from the IRIS Registry between 2013 and 2018.
- - Out of 263,480 eyes studied, the overall response rate to LTP was 36.9%, with higher baseline intraocular pressure (IOP) linked to better response rates, while conditions like angle recession and uveitis increased nonresponse likelihood.
- - The findings suggest that lower baseline IOP and certain eye conditions may lead to poorer treatment responses, emphasizing the need for further research to improve glaucoma management strategies.
