Effect of Trabeculodescemetic Window Perforation in Deep Sclerectomy on Intraocular Pressure in Primary Congenital Glaucoma.

Introduction: Primary congenital glaucoma causes vision loss if intraocular pressure is uncontrolled. Nonpenetrating deep sclerectomy is effective in treating primary congenital glaucoma. However, the effects of inadvertent trabeculodescemetic window perforation remain unclear.

Comparison of the Ahmed and Baerveldt Glaucoma Drainage Implants in the Treatment of Primary Congenital Glaucoma.

Purpose: To compare the outcomes of the Ahmed glaucoma valve (AGV) (New World Medical, Inc) with the Baerveldt glaucoma implant (BGI) (Johnson & Johnson Vision) in primary congenital glaucoma (PCG).

Methods: This was a retrospective review of children with PCG who underwent AGV or BGI implantation with a minimum follow-up of 6 months. Main outcome measures were intraocular pressure (IOP), the number of glaucoma medications, success rate, complications, and surgical revisions.

Intermediate Outcomes of Deep Sclerectomy in Juvenile Glaucoma.

Prcis: In this retrospective study of patients with predominantly severe juvenile open-angle glaucoma, deep sclerectomy (DS) achieved a success rate [defined as intraocular pressure (IOP) between 5 to 18 mm Hg] of 72% at 3 years.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of DS in patients with juvenile open-angle glaucoma (JOAG).

Methods: A retrospective chart review of all JOAG patients that underwent DS with mitomycin C at a tertiary care eye center during the period from May 2014 to May 2019.

Primary angle closure glaucoma is characterized by altered extracellular matrix homeostasis in the iris.

Purpose: To characterize the proteome of the iris in primary angle closure glaucoma (PACG).

Experimental Design: In this cross-sectional study, iris samples were obtained from surgical iridectomy of 48 adults with PACG and five normal controls. Peptides from iris were analysed using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry on an Orbitrap Q Exactive Plus mass spectrometer.

Surgical Outcomes of Microcatheter-assisted Trabeculotomy as a Secondary Procedure in Patients with Primary Congenital Glaucoma.

Purpose: To investigate the efficacy and safety of illuminated microcatheter-assisted trabeculotomy as a secondary procedure in patients with primary congenital glaucoma (PCG).

Methods: This retrospective case series included patients with PCG who underwent trabeculotomy using an illuminated microcatheter with the intent of catheterizing the full circumference of Schlemm's canal in a single procedure. Success was defined as intraocular pressure (IOP) ≤21 mmHg, with or without the use of glaucoma medications.
