Improving Visual Comfort during Computer Gaming with Preservative-Free Hyaluronic Acid Artificial Tears Added to Ergophthalmological Measures.

Digital asthenopia (DA) or Computer Vision Syndrome can occur after prolonged use of digital devices and is usually managed with ergophthalmological measures and the use of artificial tears. This prospective, controlled study evaluated the use of hyaluronic acid artificial tears on the signs and symptoms of DA in participants of a videogame convention. Subjects ( = 56) were randomized into a control group (CG, = 26), which followed ergophthalmological measures, and a study group (SG, = 30), which followed ergophthalmological measures and instilled 1 drop of artificial tears with hyaluronic acid 0.

Use of Amniotic Membrane in MMC-Augmented Trabeculectomy: A Retrospective Comparative Study.

Purpose: Amniotic membrane transplantation (AMT) has shown promising results as an antifibrotic agent in trabeculectomy. We aimed to evaluate the additional effect of AMT in MMC-augmented trabeculectomy.

Patients And Methods: This retrospective study analyzed the results of the first 12 postoperative months of glaucomatous eyes submitted to Moorfields Safer Surgery Trabeculectomy with MMC alone (non-AMT group) compared to MMC and AMT (AMT group).

Outcomes of Trabeculectomy With and Without Mitomycin C in Pseudoexfoliative Glaucoma Compared With Mitomycin C in Primary Open Angle Glaucoma.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcomes of trabeculectomy with mitomycin C (MMC) in patients with Pseudoexfoliative Glaucoma (PXG) and compare the results with the outcomes of trabeculectomy without MMC in PXG and with MMC in Primary Open Angle Glaucoma (POAG). Ninety eyes (76 patients) submitted to trabeculectomy were included in a one-year retrospective study. Fifty-eight eyes with PXG were divided into group 1 (28 eyes) and group 2 (30 eyes), with and without MMC application respectively.

Digital Asthenopia: Portuguese Group of Ergophthalmology Survey.

Introduction: Given the increasing use of electronic devices, and the increasing number of complaints with its use, we intend to evaluate the prevalence of manifestations of dry eye and ocular fatigue in a population of individuals, who use the computer daily to perform all their professional tasks, as well as to correlate these complaints with the number of hours of digital use as well as their possible improvement with behavioural measures and use of tear drops.

Material And Methods: A total of 77 individuals (154 eyes) were evaluated on two separate days with a 1-month interval. They completed two questionnaires: OSDI and PEG Eye Fatigue.

Changes in choroidal thickness following trabeculectomy and its correlation with the decline in intraocular pressure.

Purpose: Evaluate whether there are significant changes in choroidal thickness following trabeculectomy, and how they relate do the decline in intraocular pressure.

Methods: This was a prospective evaluation of 28 eyes who underwent Moorfields modified trabeculectomy. The choroidal thickness was measured via OCT with enhanced depth imaging, before surgery and 1 day, 1 week and 1 month after surgery.

Reconstruction of delayed scleral flap melting with bovine pericardium after trabeculectomy with mitomycin C.

To present a challenging case of hypotony after trabeculectomy and its treatment. A 22-year-old woman with juvenile glaucoma underwent a conventional trabeculectomy with mitomycin C on the right eye (OD). In the immediate postoperative period, we observed a hyperfiltration bleb with hypotony refractory to conservative measures leading to hypotony maculopathy.
