Central corneal thickness in pediatric glaucoma.

Purpose: To compare the central corneal thickness (CCT) of children with and without glaucoma and to estimate the effect CCT may have on the intraocular pressure (IOP) assessment of children.

Patients And Methods: CCT and IOP measurements were performed in an unmasked fashion in 34 consecutive children with glaucoma and 28 consecutive children without glaucoma. Patients with corneal edema or extensive corneal scarring were excluded.

Subconjunctival sodium hyaluronate 2.3% in trabeculectomy: a prospective randomized clinical trial.

Purpose: To investigate the efficacy of subconjunctival sodium hyaluronate 2.3% in increasing the success rate of glaucoma filtering surgery and promoting filtering blebs with characteristics presumed to predict better success.

Design: Randomized controlled clinical trial.

Results of the use of the Ex-PRESS miniature glaucoma implant in technically challenging, advanced glaucoma cases: a clinical pilot study.

Purpose: To report results of implantation of the Ex-PRESS Miniature Glaucoma Implant (Optonol, Neve Ilan, Israel) shunt directly under the conjunctiva in advanced glaucoma.

Design: Noncomparative case series.

Methods: Chart review of eleven cases of Ex-PRESS implantation.
