Late-onset Endophthalmitis after XEN45 Implantation: A Retrospective Case Series and Literature Review.

Aim And Objective: To report the incidence of late-onset endophthalmitis following XEN45 stent implantation.

Background: Long-term safety profile and efficacy in relation to the so-called microinvasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) techniques are still under evaluation. The XEN45 gel stent entails a bleb formation and often requires postoperative conjunctival management, differing from the current reviewed concept of minimally invasive procedures.

Role of Oral Antioxidant Supplementation in the Current Management of Diabetic Retinopathy.

Oxidative stress has been postulated as an underlying pathophysiologic mechanism of diabetic retinopathy (DR), the main cause of avoidable blindness in working-aged people. This review addressed the current daily clinical practice of DR and the role of antioxidants in this practice. A systematic review of the studies on antioxidant supplementation in DR patients was presented.
