Virtual Follow-Up after Cataract Surgery: A Systematic Review.

Topic: To examine the association between virtual postoperative follow-up care and patient outcomes after cataract surgery.

Clinical Relevance: Cataract surgery is a safe and commonly performed surgery. Follow-up visits are used to monitor for complications.

K-RIM (Corneal Rim) Angle Surgery Training Model.

Purpose: To develop an angle surgery training model for training an array of microincisional glaucoma surgery (MIGS) procedures.

Methods: We describe a method for preparing an angle surgery training model using human cadaveric corneoscleral rims. The model provides realistic tactile tissue simulation and excellent angle visualization requiring bimanual technique.

Cadaver corneoscleral model for angle surgery training.

Purpose: To assess a new training model (Tackdriver) for new-generation microinvasive glaucoma surgeries (MIGS).

Setting: Resident training centers in Canada.

Design: Evaluation of technology.

A novel Schlemm's Canal scaffold increases outflow facility in a human anterior segment perfusion model.

Purpose: An intracanalicular scaffold (Hydrus microstent) designed to reduce intraocular pressure as a glaucoma treatment was tested in human anterior segments to determine changes in outflow facility (C).

Methods: Human eyes with no history of ocular disease or surgeries were perfused within 49 hours of death. The anterior segments were isolated and connected to a perfusion system.

Nonpenetrating glaucoma surgery.

Nonpenetrating glaucoma surgery continues to evolve and improve. New technical refinements and increased experience among its practitioners have led to improved efficacy and longer duration of filter survival. These refinements include the use of intraoperative and postoperative antimetabolites, adjunctive space-maintaining devices, and postoperative yttrium-aluminum-garnet laser goniopuncture.
