Salary Negotiations: Gender Differences in Attitudes, Priorities, and Behaviors of Ophthalmologists.

Purpose: To investigate attitudes, priorities, and behaviors of ophthalmologists in salary negotiations.

Design: Cross-sectional study.

Methods: A Qualtrics survey was disseminated to U.

Biocompatibility and feasibility of VisiPlate, a novel ultrathin, multichannel glaucoma drainage device.

Background: Glaucoma is the leading cause of blindness worldwide. Glaucoma drainage devices and minimally invasive glaucoma surgeries (MIGS) often present with tradeoffs in safety and durability of efficacy. Using a rabbit model, we examined the biocompatibility and feasibility of VisiPlate, a novel, ultrathin, tubeless subconjunctival shunt comprised of a network of microchannels.

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).

Primary Open-Angle African American Glaucoma Genetics (POAAGG) Study: gender and risk of POAG in African Americans.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between gender and primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) among African Americans and to assess demographic, systemic, and behavioral factors that may contribute to differences between genders. The Primary Open-Angle African American Glaucoma Genetics (POAAGG) study had a case-control design and included African Americans 35 years and older, recruited from the greater Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Diagnosis of POAG was based on evidence of both glaucomatous optic nerve damage and characteristic visual field loss.
