Six months' follow-up of combined phacoemulsification-kahook dual blade excisional goniotomy.

Purpose: This study reports on the combination of excisional goniotomy and cataract extraction in the management of glaucoma in terms of intraocular pressure (IOP) and glaucoma medication reduction.

Methods: This is a retrospective case series. Twenty-eight eyes of 22 patients with the diagnosis of cataract and ocular hypertension or glaucoma of any stage underwent combined phacoemulsification and Kahook Dual Blade (KDB) goniotomy, between March 2019 and September 2020.

Combining spectral domain optical coherence tomography of retinal nerve fiber layer and noncontact tonometry in mass glaucoma screening during the World Glaucoma Week.

Purpose: This study reports the combination of noncontact tonometry and spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) in mass glaucoma screening in the Lebanese population.

Methods: This cross-sectional study included Lebanese individuals who participated in a glaucoma screening campaign in March 2018 and March 2019 for World Glaucoma Week. Intraocular pressure (IOP) was measured by noncontact tonometry.

Effect of Topical Dexmedetomidine (0.0055%) on Intraocular Pressure in Healthy Eyes: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Aim And Objective: Evaluate the short-term safety and efficacy of dexmedetomidine (0.0055%) drops on intraocular pressure (IOP) in healthy eyes.

Materials And Methods: In this randomized controlled trial, patients with normal eye exams were randomly assigned to receive, in a randomly selected eye, one drop of either balanced salt solution (BSS) or dexmedetomidine (0.

Spontaneous Trabeculectomy Bleb Reformation and Regain of Function Following Phacoemulsification.

Phacoemulsification and cataract surgery in general often lead to trabeculectomy bleb failure. We herein describe an unusual occurrence in a 79-year-old female who had a failed trabeculectomy bleb for one year prior to presentation, and whose failed bleb became reformed, and she regained function on the first day post-phacoemulsification, manifesting as a decrease in intraocular pressure. Topical corticosteroids were used for one month postoperatively and the bleb remained functional over more than six months of follow-up.
