Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to assess ocular surface disease (OSD) in children with childhood glaucoma (CG) by comparing 41 eyes from CG patients to 42 eyes from healthy controls.
- - Findings indicated that CG patients had shorter tear break-up time (TBUT) and more severe dry eye disease (DED) symptoms, with higher prevalence of punctate epithelial erosions, particularly influenced by the number of glaucoma medications used.
- - The results highlighted a significant increase in OSD signs and symptoms in CG patients compared to healthy individuals, suggesting the need for further research based on different CG types.
Purpose: This study assesses the effectiveness and safety of using Ologen implants (Aeon Astron Europe BV, Leiden, The Netherlands) as an adjunctive therapy in childhood glaucoma surgeries.
Methods: We systematically reviewed the existing literature across various electronic databases to examine the effectiveness and safety of Ologen implants in childhood glaucoma surgeries.
Results: Our analysis encompassed 14 studies on the use of Ologen implants in childhood glaucoma.
Aim: To compare intraluminal stenting and external ligation of Ahmed glaucoma valves (AGV) for refractory glaucoma management and postoperative hypotony prevention.
Methods: This randomized prospective blind study included 30 eyes of 25 patients (age range: 44-56y) with refractory glaucoma. This study was conducted from September 2018 to January 2020.
Purpose: The aim was to compare the long-term surgical outcomes of visco-circumferential-suture-trabeculotomy (VCST) and rigid probe viscotrabeculotomy (VT) in patients with primary congenital glaucoma (PCG).
Patients And Methods: The study was conducted on 84 (47 right) eyes of 49 (32 males) children PCG to the pediatric ophthalmology unit of Mansoura Ophthalmic Center of Mansoura University, Egypt between 2015 and 2018. An initial office examination was followed by an examination under general anesthesia to establish the diagnosis of PCG.
Aim: To compare the outcome of an Ex-Press implant and subscleral trabeculectomy (SST) in the management of glaucoma after previous trabeculectomy on a fibrotic bleb.
Methods: This randomized prospective study included 28 eyes from 28 patients (age range: 42-55y) with primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) presented with elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) with fibrotic bleb despite previous SST for more than 4mo. The eyes enrolled in the study were divided into two groups: group I (subjected to Ex-Press implant surgery) and group II [subjected to SST with mitomycin C (MMC)].
