Article Synopsis
- Pathogenic variants in the CLDN19 gene lead to Familial Hypomagnesemia with Hypercalciuria and Nephrocalcinosis (FHHNC), which also includes eye-related issues.
- A 25-year-old woman with FHHNC showed significant renal involvement and various eye problems, including high myopia and atrophic retinal plaques, alongside genetic testing that revealed a specific mutation in the CLDN19 gene.
- The study suggests that FHHNC is linked to diverse ocular changes, and the described retinal issues in this patient may indicate a more favorable visual outlook than previously documented, highlighting the need for more research in this area.
Aim: To evaluate the efficacy, safety, structural and functional progression following the insertion of iStent inject ® implants in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension at a tertiary-level hospital.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective study included 98 eyes (57 males and 41 females) with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension, which underwent iStent inject W® implantation (Glaukos, Corporation, CA) between December 2018 and December 2022. Differences in intraocular pressure (IOP), the number of hypotensive eye drops used, and structural and functional tests were assessed between preoperative values and subsequent reviews during a follow-up period of one (n = 98), two (n = 55), and three years (n = 15) after surgery.
