Goldmann applanation tonometry and dynamic contour tonometry are not correlated with central corneal thickness in primary open angle glaucoma.

Purpose: To compare intraocular pressure (IOP) measured by Goldmann applanation tonometry (GAT) and dynamic contour tonometry (DCT) and assess their relationship to central corneal thickness (CCT) in patients with primary open angle glaucoma (OAG).

Patients And Methods: GAT, DCT, and CCT were assessed in 116 patients with OAG [mean age 65.9 (10.

Visual loss after transscleral diode laser cyclophotocoagulation for primary open-angle and neovascular glaucoma.

Background And Objective: Varying incidences of visual loss after transscleral diode laser cyclophotocoagulation for uncontrolled intraocular pressure (IOP) have been reported. This study compared the treatment response in primary open-angle (POAG) and neovascular (NVG) glaucoma, particularly regarding vision loss.

Patients And Methods: Case notes of consecutive patients who underwent transscleral diode laser cyclophotocoagulation between March 2001 and September 2005 were retrospectively reviewed.

A comparative analysis of the effects of the fixed combination of timolol and dorzolamide versus latanoprost plus timolol on ocular hemodynamics and visual function in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma.

Aims: The aim of this study was to assess the effects of fixed combination of timolol and dorzolamide and latanoprost plus timolol on retinal, choroidal, and retrobulbar hemodynamics and visual function in primary open-angle glaucoma (OAG) subjects.

Methods: Sixteen (16) OAG patients (age, 63.5 +/- 10.

Results of combined phacoemulsification and trabeculectomy with mitomycin C in pseudoexfoliation versus non-pseudoexfoliation glaucoma.

Background: This study was conducted to evaluate the rate of intraoperative and postoperative complications and the outcome of combined phacoemulsification (phaco) with posterior chamber (PC) intraocular lens (IOL) and trabeculectomy in patients with pseudoexfoliation (PXF) versus non-pseudoexfoliation (non-PXF) glaucoma.

Methods: One hundred and four eyes of 88 patients with combined phaco, PC IOL and trabeculectomy with mitomycin C (MMC) were included in the study. MMC 0.

Outcome of consecutive trabeculectomy.

Purpose: To establish a criterion for success of primary phakic trabeculectomy in the second eye of the same patient, using the first operated eye as a predictor for the surgical outcome.

Methods: The outcome of primary phakic trabeculectomy was retrospectively compared in both eyes of 23 patients. Sixteen patients were treated with antimetabolites and seven were not.
