Article Synopsis
- - The systematic review evaluates how trehalose and hyaluronic acid eye drops affect recovery after cataract surgery, specifically looking at tear film stability, ocular surface health, and patient comfort.
- - It includes four studies that found a significant improvement in eye symptoms for patients using a combination of 3% trehalose and 0.15% hyaluronic acid compared to control solutions, measured by various tests like tear break-up time and patient-reported discomfort.
- - Results showed that patients using the treatment reported less discomfort and had better tear film stability and visual acuity improvements post-surgery, suggesting that these drops may enhance recovery following cataract procedures.
Background: This retrospective review reports on patients who underwent glaucoma drainage implant (GDI) surgery and had baseline intraocular pressure (IOP) of ≤18 mmHg with at least one year of follow-up.
Methods: Clinical data of 67 eyes of 67 patients were collected from patients' charts, and the outcomes of GDI were evaluated until 7 years. GDI failure was defined as IOP reduction of less than 20% from the baseline at two consecutive visits three months after surgery, decline to no light perception, or if additional glaucoma surgery was performed.
Purpose: To compare early vs. delayed use of aqueous suppressants on Ahmed glaucoma valve (AGV) outcomes.
Design: Single-center retrospective comparative case series.
Herein we describe 2 cases of persistent mydriasis after gonioscopy-assisted transluminal trabeculotomy for open angle glaucoma. Both surgeries were uneventful, but the patients experienced postoperative hyphema and intraocular pressure elevation. They then developed persistent fixed and dilated pupils resistant to pilocarpine that led to intolerable photosensitivity and glare.

Purpose: To report 10-year clinical outcomes of tube shunt (TS) surgery at a tertiary care center.
Design: Retrospective cohort study.
Methods: Eyes were included that underwent a first TS surgery between January 2005 and December 2011 at a tertiary referral eye hospital and with at least 10 years of follow-up.
Prcis: This retrospective case series of patients with open angle glaucoma and prior trabeculectomy or tube shunt surgery found that selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) resulted in significant intraocular pressure (IOP) reductions in the intermediate follow-up period in select cases.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess the IOP-lowering effect and tolerability of SLT after prior trabeculectomy or tube shunt surgery.
Materials And Methods: Open angle glaucoma patients at Wills Eye Hospital who previously underwent incisional glaucoma surgery and subsequently received SLT between 2013 and 2018 were included, along with an age-matched control group.
Purpose: To assess the outcomes of glaucoma surgery in patients with a history of scleritis at a tertiary medical center.
Methods: The retrospective case series included patients with a history of scleritis who required glaucoma surgery between 4/2006 and 8/2021.
Results: Two hundred and eighty-one eyes of 259 patients had glaucoma and scleritis with 28 eyes (10%) of 25 patients requiring glaucoma surgery.
Purpose: To describe the prevalence, management, and outcomes of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) after incisional glaucoma filtering surgery.
Methods: All patients with a history of trabeculectomy or glaucoma drainage device surgery who were subsequently diagnosed with an RRD from January 1, 2016, to January 1, 2021, at the Wills Eye Hospital were identified.
Results: Forty-six eyes met the inclusion criteria.
Purpose: To assess real-world effectiveness and tolerability of fixed-dose combination netarsudil 0.02%/latanoprost 0.005% (FCNL) in management of glaucoma patients in a tertiary eye care center.

Method: A retrospective, single-centre, consecutive case series of RVO patients receiving injections who were LTFU >6 months was conducted. Data were collected from the visit before LTFU; return visit; 3 months, 6 months and 12 months after return; and the final visit.
