Precis: Ab interno (gonioscopy-assisted transluminal trabeculotomy) and ab externo 360-degree suture trabeculotomy (ST) achieved similar success rates for reducing intraocular pressure (IOP) without serious complications threatening visual acuity.
Purpose: We aimed to compare the efficacy of ab externo and ab interno 360-degree ST in reducing IOP, decreasing the number of antiglaucoma medications required, and decreasing the rates of intraoperative/postoperative complications in adults with open-angle glaucoma (OAG).
Patients And Methods: This retrospective study included 33 eyes of 33 patients who underwent ab externo 360-degree ST (group 1) and 23 eyes of 23 patients who underwent ab interno 360-degree ST for OAG (group 2).
Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to assess how consistent and comparable a new optical biometer (AL-Scan) is with another established device (Lenstar) in measuring various eye parameters in cataract patients.
- - Researchers performed three measurements on 65 patients, categorized by their axial length, and used statistical methods to evaluate repeatability and agreement between the two devices.
- - Results indicated both devices showed high repeatability (ICC > 0.970) and good agreement, especially for axial length measurements, suggesting that the new biometer is reliable for ocular biometry in patients with cataracts.
Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the consistency and agreement in anterior segment measurements using two different devices: the Galilei dual Scheimpflug analyzer and the Nidek AL Scan on both keratoconic and normal eyes.
- Measurements included central corneal thickness, anterior chamber depth, keratometry readings, and white-to-white distance, with excellent repeatability found for both devices in all parameters for normal eyes.
- While both devices are interchangeable for most measurements in normal eyes, significant differences were noted in keratoconic eyes regarding central corneal thickness and keratometry measurements, indicating they should not be used interchangeably for these specific parameters.

Purpose: To evaluate the repeatability and reproducibility of measurements obtained by a new optical biometer (Nidek AL-Scan) in normal eyes and keratoconic eyes.
Setting: Department of Ophthalmology, Turgut Özal University, Medical School, Ankara, Turkey.
Design: Evaluation of diagnostic technology.
Purpose: To evaluate whether cyclosporin A prevents or reduce posterior capsule opacification after phacoemulsification surgery in rabbit eyes.
Methods: Twenty rabbits underwent cataract surgery in their right eyes were randomized into two groups. In group 1, 0.
Purpose: To assess central corneal thickness (CCT) values in individuals with intellectual disabilities (ID).
Methods: The study group was made up of 25 participants with ID (mean age, 36.9 +/- 8.
