: We evaluated the 3-year effectiveness and safety of XEN45, combined or not with phacoemulsification, in patients from the Italian XEN-Glaucoma Treatment Registry. : Data from glaucoma patients who underwent XEN45 alone or combined with phacoemulsification were analyzed. Changes in intraocular pressure (IOP) and the number of ocular hypotensive medications (OHMs) were tested with repeated measures ANOVA in last observation carried forward (LOCF) and per-protocol (PP) analyses.

Purpose: To identify novel quantitative parameters for evaluating photoreceptor loss in full-thickness macular holes (FTMH), exploring their potential clinical impact on postoperative functional and anatomical recovery.

Methods: This pilot study enrolled 38 eyes from 38 patients diagnosed with FTMH. Preoperatively, eyes underwent analysis and were subsequently followed for six months post-surgery.

: The aim of this study was to determine if the rise in new surgical procedures for glaucoma is changing the baseline features of patients. : In this retrospective study, we reviewed the baseline features of patients undergoing their first glaucoma surgery in 2011 and 2021, collecting data regarding intraocular pressure (IOP), visual field (VF) parameters, stage of disease, and the type of surgery. : In the study, 455 patients were included in the analysis.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to examine how MicroPulse transscleral laser therapy (MP-TLT) affects the sclera in patients with refractory glaucoma using a specific imaging technique called anterior segment-optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT).
  • Researchers enrolled 42 patients, measuring changes in scleral structures and intraocular pressure (IOP) before and after six months of treatment, with success defined as at least a one-third reduction in IOP.
  • Results showed that although all patients experienced scleral changes, significant correlations were found between certain scleral measurements and IOP reduction, suggesting that MP-TLT may enhance fluid outflow in the eye and help lower IOP in successful cases.
