Factors influencing improvement of visual field after trans-sphenoidal resection of pituitary macroadenomas: a retrospective cohort study.

Aim: To investigate the influencing factors of visual field improvement after trans-sphenoidal resection of pituitary macroadenomas.

Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 201 patients (366 eyes) with visual field defect induced by pituitary macroadenomas. All of them were treated with trans-sphenoidal surgery.

Therapeutic Effects of Sodium Hyaluronate on Ocular Surface Damage Induced by Benzalkonium Chloride Preserved Anti-glaucoma Medications.

Background: Long-term use of benzalkonium chloride (BAC)-preserved drugs is often associated with ocular surface toxicity. Ocular surface symptoms had a substantial impact on the glaucoma patients' quality of life and compliance. This study aimed to investigate the effects of sodium hyaluronate (SH) on ocular surface toxicity induced by BAC-preserved anti-glaucoma medications treatment.

[Protection effect of sodium hyaluronate on ocular surface toxicity induced by Benzalkonium chloride-preserved brimonidine in rabbits].

Objective: To investigate the protective effects of sodium hyaluronate on ocular surface toxicity induced by a prolonged use of benzalkonium chloride-preserved Brimonidine eye drops.

Methods: Experimental study. Thirty adult female New Zealand rabbits were divided into three groups with randomized numbers design.

[The efficacy of Ahmed glaucoma valve implantation in the management of early stage of glaucoma secondary to blunt ocular trauma].

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Ahmed glaucoma valve (AGV) implantation in the early stage of glaucoma secondary to contusion injuries.

Methods: A retrospective case series study. The study was made in 29 consecutive patients with glaucoma secondary to blunt trauma who were uncontrolled by multiple medications and then performed AGV implantations in less than 2 months after the trauma.
