Risk Factors for Hyphema Following Kahook Dual Blade Goniotomy Combined With Phacoemulsification.

Prcis: Hyphema development after Kahook Dual Blade (KDB) excisional goniotomy was significantly associated with postoperative day 1 intraocular pressure (IOP) ≤12 mm Hg, male sex, and narrow iridocorneal angles, but not with continuation of anticoagulation or antiplatelet therapy.

Purpose: To identify risk factors of hyphema development after KDB goniotomy combined with phacoemulsification.

Methods: In all, 202 eyes in 145 patients who received a KDB goniotomy combined with phacoemulsification between February 21, 2017 and February 18, 2020 were evaluated for preoperative factors that were predictive of postoperative hyphema.

Predictive Factors of Outcomes in Kahook Dual Blade Excisional Goniotomy Combined with Phacoemulsification.

Aim: To identify factors that were significant predictors of Kahook Dual Blade (KDB) excisional goniotomy outcomes.

Materials And Methods: One hundred and thirty-two eyes from 99 adult glaucoma patients who underwent combined KDB and phacoemulsification (KDB-phaco) with a minimum 6-month follow-up were assessed for baseline patient characteristics to determine correlation to the success of KDB-phaco at 6 and 12 months postoperatively. Success was defined as ≥20% intraocular pressure (IOP) reduction or ≥1 medication reduction as well as IOP ≤18 mm Hg without any additional IOP-lowering procedures after KDB-phaco.

Netarsudil as a Predictor of Response for MicroPulse Transscleral Laser Therapy: A Pilot Study.

Purpose: To investigate the role of netarsudil as an outcome predictor of MicroPulse transscleral laser therapy (MPTLT).

Design: Retrospective comparative study.

Subjects: Forty-seven eyes in 33 adult patients with glaucoma with a minimum of 1 month of follow-up after netarsudil treatment and 3 months of follow-up after MPTLT were included.

Response to netarsudil in goniotomy-treated eyes and goniotomy-naïve eyes: a pilot study.

Purpose: To compare the intraocular pressure (IOP)-lowering effects of netarsudil on goniotomy-treated eyes versus goniotomy-naïve control eyes.

Methods: Retrospective cohort study of 70 eyes from 49 adult glaucoma patients treated with netarsudil. Thirty-five eyes received sectoral goniotomy using Kahook Dual Blade (KDB) combined with cataract surgery with minimum of 3 months prior to netarsudil treatment.

Six-Month In Vivo Safety Profiling of Topical Ocular AAV5-Decorin Gene Transfer.

Purpose: A significant remission of corneal fibrosis and neovascularization in rabbit eye in vivo was observed from a tissue-selective localized adeno-associated virus (AAV)5-Decorin (Dcn) gene therapy. This study sought to investigate 6-month toxicity profiling of this gene therapy for the eye in vivo using a rabbit model.

Methods: A small epithelial scrape followed by corneal drying was performed unilaterally in 12 rabbit eyes and either AAV5-Dcn (n = 6) or naked vector (n = 6) was delivered topically using a cloning cylinder technique.

Comparison of Outcomes for Laser Trabeculoplasty after Kahook Dual Blade Goniotomy Versus in Goniotomy-Naive Eyes.

Introduction: This was a comparison of laser trabeculoplasty (LTP) outcomes in eyes with prior Kahook Dual Blade (KDB) goniotomy versus in goniotomy-naive control eyes.

Methods: This was a retrospective matched comparative case series. We identified a cohort of patients undergoing LTP between February 2017 and July 2020 at University of Missouri.

Comparative outcome analysis of bleb needling of fibrotic blebs in the clinic versus the operating room: a retrospective case series.

Background: To compare 6 month outcomes of bleb needling performed in the clinic vs. the operating room (OR) in adult glaucoma patients with failed bleb.

Methods: A retrospective case series of 47 eyes from 41 glaucoma patients who received needling with mitomycin C (MMC) of scarred bleb from prior bleb-forming procedures in clinic (32 eyes) vs.

Comparison Of Surgical Outcomes Of 360° Circumferential Trabeculotomy Versus Sectoral Excisional Goniotomy With The Kahook Dual Blade At 6 Months.

Purpose: To compare reductions in intraocular pressure (IOP) and IOP-lowering medication use following sectoral excisional goniotomy with the Kahook Dual Blade (KDB) or 360° trabeculotomy (via either Trab360 or gonioscopy-assisted transluminal trabeculotomy [GATT]) in eyes with open-angle glaucoma (OAG) undergoing phacoemulsification cataract surgery.

Methods: A retrospective review was conducted to collect data from adult subjects with early to advanced primary or secondary OAG undergoing phacoemulsification combined with either KDB or 360° trabeculotomy (Trab360 or GATT) between August 1, 2016 and July 30, 2018 for which 6-month follow-up was available. Data collected included IOP, glaucoma medications, adverse events, and additional IOP-lowering procedures.

Reversal of Toric Intraocular Lens-corrected Corneal Astigmatism after Kahook Dual Blade Goniotomy.

Unlabelled: A 79-year-old man underwent phacoemulsification (phaco) with TORIC intraocular lens (IOL) insertion combined with Kahook dual blade (KDB) goniotomy of the right eye several months after a stand-alone phaco in the fellow eye. He had significant against-the-rule astigmatism in both eyes (2.41D @ 10° right, 2.

Comparison of successful outcome predictors for MicroPulse laser trabeculoplasty and selective laser trabeculoplasty at 6 months.

To identify and compare factors predictive of successful outcome for MicroPulse laser trabeculoplasty (MLT) and selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT). 50 MLT-treated eyes and 50 SLT-treated eyes of open-angle glaucoma patients were reviewed for baseline characteristics, pre- and postoperative IOP and medications, and adverse events including postoperative IOP elevation >5 mmHg (IOP spikes) through 6 months of follow-up. Success was defined as ≥20% IOP reduction or ≥1 medication reduction without additional IOP lowering procedures at 6 months follow-up.

Outcome of phacoemulsification combined with excisional goniotomy using the Kahook Dual Blade in severe glaucoma patients at 6 months.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to describe 6-month rates of achieving target IOP without requiring additional glaucoma surgery after excisional goniotomy using the Kahook Dual Blade combined with phacoemulsification (phaco-KDB) in patients with severe-stage glaucoma.

Methods: Retrospective review of 42 eyes from 36 patients with severe glaucoma who received phaco-KDB. Primary and secondary open-angle and combined-mechanism glaucoma were included.

Inadvertent Cyclodialysis Cleft and Hypotony Following Ab-Interno Trabeculotomy Using the Trabectome Device Requiring Surgical Repair.

Purpose: To report the first case of inadvertent cyclodialysis cleft and hypotony requiring surgical repair following ab-interno trabeculotomy (AIT) using the Trabectome device, and the postoperative clinical results following direct suture cyclopexy.

Methods: A 55-year-old man with hypotonous maculopathy secondary to cyclodialysis cleft inadvertently created 3 years earlier during AIT using the Trabectome device was referred for repair. Direct suture cyclopexy was performed and topical homatropine and dexamethasone drops were prescribed postoperatively.

Design: Prospective cross-sectional study.

Traumatic disruption of the optic chiasm.

A 27-year-old man developed a persistent bitemporal hemianopia after severe head trauma sustained in a high-speed motor vehicle accident. The initial brain MRI revealed hemorrhagic contusion of the optic chiasm. A brain MRI performed 4 weeks later demonstrated complete chiasmal transection, a phenomenon rarely documented with imaging.
