Introduction: The PRESERFLO™ MicroShunt (PMS) has been proven to significantly lower intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with glaucoma and has been available for use since 2019. With increasing published evidence and growing experience of glaucoma surgeons, the aim of this modified Delphi panel was to build on the findings of a previous Delphi panel conducted in 2021 and provide further guidance on the role of the PMS to treat patients with glaucoma in Europe.
Methods: Thirteen European glaucoma surgeons experienced in the PMS procedure participated in a 3-round modified Delphi panel.
The Southern Ocean is a major sink of anthropogenic CO and an important foraging area for top trophic level consumers. However, iron limitation sets an upper limit to primary productivity. Here we report on a considerably dense late summer phytoplankton bloom spanning 9000 km in the open ocean of the eastern Weddell Gyre.

However, guidelines on best practice for patient selection and pre-/peri-/postoperative care management are lacking. The aim of this modified Delphi panel was to achieve expert consensus on the role of the PMS to treat patients with glaucoma in Europe.

Few, if any, studies have quantified the extent of the problem in a real-life population. In this nationwide study, we assess the pulmonary safety of patients initiating treatment with ophthalmic beta-blockers.
