Ab-Externo MicroShunt versus Trabeculectomy in Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma: Two-Year Results from a Randomized, Multicenter Study.

Purpose: To compare the effectiveness and safety of the MicroShunt (Santen Inc) versus trabeculectomy in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG).

Design: Prospective, randomized, multicenter trial conducted in the United States and Europe.

Participants: Adult patients (aged 40-85 years) with mild to severe POAG inadequately controlled on maximum tolerated medical therapy and intraocular pressure (IOP) ≥ 15 mmHg and ≤ 40 mmHg.

Ab-Externo MicroShunt versus Trabeculectomy in Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma: One-Year Results from a 2-Year Randomized, Multicenter Study.

Purpose: To compare the effectiveness and safety of the MicroShunt versus trabeculectomy in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG).

Design: One-year results from a 2-year, prospective, randomized, multicenter, noninferiority study (NCT01881425) conducted in the United States and Europe.

Participants: Eligible patients were aged 40-85 years with intraocular pressure (IOP) ≥15 and ≤40 mmHg and mild-to-severe POAG inadequately controlled on maximum tolerated medical therapy.

Adherence to Fixed-Combination Versus Unfixed Travoprost 0.004%/Timolol 0.5% for Glaucoma or Ocular Hypertension: A Randomized Trial.

Purpose: To assess adherence to treatment with fixed-combination travoprost 0.004%/timolol 0.5% (TTFC) compared with separate containers of travoprost 0.

Nd: YAG laser goniopuncture: indications and procedure.

Laser goniopuncture is a complementary adjunct to nonfiltering glaucoma surgery such as deep sclerectomy, viscocanalostomy, and canaloplasty, contributing to intraocular pressure control and the avoidance of additional incisional surgery. Goniopuncture is associated with a low complication rate and demonstrates minimal inflammation, hemorrhage, and hypotony when performed correctly. This article provides a detailed description of how to perform this procedure and methods of preventing and addressing complications.

Canaloplasty with intraoperative low dosage mitomycin C: a retrospective case series.

Purpose: To evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of intraoperative mitomycin C (MMC) in conjunction with canaloplasty for the treatment of open-angle glaucoma.

Methods: Observational case series. A microcatheter was used to viscodilate the full circumference of Schlemm canal and to place a trabecular meshwork tensioning suture.

The safety and efficacy of travoprost 0.004%/timolol 0.5% fixed combination ophthalmic solution.

Purpose: To compare the safety and intraocular pressure (IOP)-lowering efficacy of travoprost 0.004%/timolol 0.5% fixed combination ophthalmic solution (Trav/Tim) to its components travoprost 0.
