Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to identify the clinical features of patients with uveitic glaucoma (UG) and ocular hypertension secondary to uveitis (OHT-SU) by analyzing medical records from 2013 to 2021.
- - Among 660 patients with uveitis, 28.9% had OHT-SU and 16.4% developed UG, with females being more affected than males, especially in group-specific age ranges.
- - The findings suggest UG and OHT-SU are prevalent in the Colombian population, with a recommendation for earlier treatment to improve visual outcomes, as 81.1% of patients received topical hypotensive therapy and some required surgical intervention.
A non-comparative retrospective case-series study was performed on 6 patients (12 eyes) with a confirmed diagnosis of ocular cicatricial pemphigoid (OCP), treated with MicroPulse Transscleral Laser Therapy (MP-TLT), between January 2018 and 2020, with a minimum follow-up of 2 years, in a private ophthalmology practice with offices in Argentina and Colombia. Mean age was 75±6.3 years (66-83 yrs).
