- Micropulse transscleral cyclophotocoagulation (TSCPC) is being evaluated for its safety and effectiveness in treating refractory glaucoma in a study involving 39 eyes from 31 patients.
- The procedure showed significant improvement, with intraocular pressure (IOP) reducing from an average of 42.3 mmHg pre-operation to 16.9 mmHg nine months post-operation, resulting in a reduction of nearly 50%.
- Most patients experienced a decrease in the number of glaucoma medications needed, with a success rate of 60.5% in managing their condition.
Introduction: Intravitreal anti-VEGF injections (IVI) represent a therapeutic revolution in the treatment of many retinal pathologies. Despite their safety and efficacy, some patients may experience significant discomfort and anxiety during the procedure. The goal of this study was to evaluate the experience of the patient receiving intravitreal anti-VEGF injections.

- - Distichiasis is a rare eyelid condition where an extra row of eyelashes grows from the inner eyelid layer, which can lead to corneal complications. It may be congenital or more commonly acquired due to chronic inflammation.
- - A study examined 104 eyes (90 patients) who underwent surgery for this condition using a technique called marginoplasty with labial mucosal autograft between 2000 and 2021; most patients were around 65 years old.
- - The surgery was highly effective, with a success rate of 82.7% and more than 95% of cases showing reduced symptoms after an average follow-up of over 24 months; additional treatment options improved outcomes further, achieving a final success
Trichiasis is a common misdirection of the eyelashes, creating a sharp point responsible for decreased vision, blepharospasm and corneal irritation. It may cause neurotrophic corneal disease leading to blindness. The etiology of trichiasis remains largely undetermined in our patient base.
