Glaucoma Mini-Shunt Implantation After Keratoplasty.

Purpose: To report the outcomes of patients who underwent miniature glaucoma shunt implantation after secondary glaucoma due to keratoplasty.

Materials And Methods: Prospective study of consecutive clinical cases who underwent mini-glaucoma shunt implantation following keratoplasty. In brief, a fornix-based conjunctival flap was performed, approximately 50% thickness scleral flap.

Glaucomatous optic neuropathy evaluation project: factors associated with underestimation of glaucoma likelihood.

Importance: Glaucoma is a significant health problem for which diagnosis remains suboptimal. Optic disc evaluation, which is fundamental to the diagnosis, is a difficult skill to acquire.

Objectives: To determine the optic disc characteristics that most influence decision making in the assessment of glaucoma likelihood and to ascertain the optic disc features associated with overestimation and underestimation of glaucoma likelihood.

Glaucomatous optic neuropathy evaluation project: a standardized internet system for assessing skills in optic disc examination.

Background: Development of a standardized internet-based system to self-assess skills in optic disc examination for glaucoma risk assessment.

Design: Prospective internet-based observational study.

Participants: Total of 197 participants (glaucoma subspecialists, general ophthalmologists and trainees) from 22 countries.

Acute primary angle closure attack does not cause an increased cup-to-disc ratio.

Purpose: To determine if an increased cup-to-disc ratio (CDR) and retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) loss occur after acute primary angle closure (APAC).

Design: Prospective, observational case series.

Participants: Twenty participants with unilateral APAC provided 20 affected eyes and 20 fellow eyes (controls) for analysis.
