To investigate macula and optic nerve head (ONH) mitochondrial metabolic activity using flavoprotein fluorescence (FPF) in normal, glaucoma suspect (GS), and open-angle glaucoma (OAG) eyes we performed a cross-sectional, observational study of FPF in normal, GS, and OAG eyes. The macula and ONH of each eye was scanned and analyzed with a commercially available FPF measuring device (OcuMet Beacon, OcuSciences Inc., Ann Arbor, MI).

Design: Single-center, retrospective, comparative case series.
Participants: A total of 90 patients underwent surgical treatment, including 45 patients in the phaco-tube group and 45 patients in the phaco-trab group.
Article Synopsis
- The study found that screening first-degree relatives (FDRs) of young Haitian patients with juvenile open-angle glaucoma (JOAG) was effective, identifying glaucoma in 30.8% of those screened.
- Only 33.8% of the FDRs invited to participate actually showed up for the screening, but among them, a notable number were found to have either manifest or suspected glaucoma.
- The results suggest that increasing awareness and education about glaucoma may improve participation rates in future screenings.
Purpose: We report a case of a male patient with chronic ocular pain that resolved completely following peripheral nerve blocks.
Observations: A 66-year-old male presented with a seven-year history of severe left eye pain and photophobia. The pain began after retinal detachment repair with scleral buckle placement.
Purpose: To compare the outcomes of standard pop-titrated transscleral cyclophotocoagulation (TSCPC) and slow-coagulation TSCPC in the treatment of glaucoma.
Design: Retrospective case series.
Subjects: This study included 78 eyes with glaucoma of any type or stage that underwent TSCPC as part of their treatment course.

Purpose: To measure and compare the amount of anterior tibial subluxation (ATS) after anatomic ACL reconstruction for both acute and chronic ACL-deficient patients.
Methods: Fifty-two patients were clinically and radiographically evaluated after primary, unilateral, anatomic ACL reconstruction. Post-operative true lateral radiographs were obtained of both knees with the patient in supine position and knees in full passive extension with heels on a standardized bolster.
