Outcomes of iStent versus endocyclophotocoagulation (ECP) as adjunct to cataract surgery by phacoemulsification for glaucoma patients.

Purpose: To compare the efficacy and safety of iStent versus Endocyclophotocoagulation (ECP) as an adjunct to cataract surgery by Phacoemulsification for treating glaucoma patients in a tertiary eye center.

Methods: Retrospective study of 67 eyes of 61 patients with glaucoma and cataract who underwent either phaco-ECP or phaco-iStent. Primary efficacy endpoint is the Intraocular pressure (IOP) reduction, while reduction of glaucoma medications is the secondary outcome.

Intermediate-term Visual Outcomes and Complications of Type 1 Boston Keratoprosthesis With and Without Glaucoma Surgery.

Purpose: Glaucoma is a cause of comorbidity in patients receiving the Boston keratoprosthesis (KPro). The aim of this study was to report the outcomes of the Boston KPro with or without glaucoma surgery.

Methods: This was a retrospective single-center cohort study.

Frequency and risk factors of narrow angles in patients with pseudoexfoliation: a case-control study.

Purpose: To determine the frequency and risk factors of narrow angles in pseudoexfoliation (PXF) patients.

Methods: A prospective case-control study was conducted during the period from March 2017 to December 2020. Adult patients (above 40 years) presenting with PXF were consecutively enrolled (study group).

Outcomes of selective laser trabeculoplasty in corticosteroid-induced ocular hypertension and glaucoma.

Purpose: To report the outcomes of selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) in lowering intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with steroid-induced ocular hypertension and glaucoma.

Methods: A retrospective chart review of patients who underwent SLT for steroid-induced ocular hypertension or glaucoma between January 2014 and October 2018. Success of SLT was defined as ⩾20% IOP reduction from baseline without further medical or surgical intervention and/or a reduction in the number of glaucoma medications by ⩾1 from baseline while maintaining the target IOP.

Comparison of surgical outcomes between sulcus and anterior chamber implanted glaucoma drainage devices.

Purpose: This retrospective case-control cross-sectional study compared the outcomes of sulcus placement of glaucoma drainage devices (GDD) versus traditional anterior chamber (AC) to test the hypothesis that sulcus placement results in fewer complications whilst maintaining similar efficacy.

Methods: This study included 45 patients in the sulcus group and 60 patients in the anterior chamber (AC) group who had undergone surgery from January 2014 to December 2017. Data were collected on pre-operative demographics, operative details and post-operative intraocular pressure and complications.

The relationship between axial length, age and intraocular pressure in children with primary congenital glaucoma.

Whilst axial length (AxL) from ultrasound examination is a useful clinical parameter for monitoring progression in younger children with glaucoma, distinguishing AxL changes due to raised intraocular pressure (IOP) from age is often challenging. Existing normograms have included a limited number of children with glaucoma. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between AxL with age and IOP in children with primary congenital glaucoma (PCG) and develop a model for expected AxL increase with age.

The Effect of Tube Ligature on the Safety and Efficacy of Ahmed Glaucoma Valve Surgery.

Precis: In this matched case-control study, ligature of the Ahmed glaucoma valve (AGV) was associated with a reduction in the rate of postoperative complications without affecting the surgical success rate or the visual outcome following the procedure.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare the safety and efficacy of AGV surgery with and without tube ligation.

Materials And Methods: This was a retrospective, matched case-control study.

Selective laser trabeculoplasty in patients with angle recession glaucoma: A small case series.

Purpose: To describe the results of selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) in eyes with angle recession glaucoma (ARG). To our knowledge, this is the first report of SLT being used as treatment modality for angle recession glaucoma. Argon laser trabeculoplasty (ALT) was used for ARG but showed a little therapeutic effect.
