Effect of Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty on the Fellow Eye.

Aim: Determine if selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) affects the fellow eye's intraocular pressure (IOP).

Materials And Methods: A retrospective review of 76 pairs of eyes from 76 adult glaucoma patients who underwent SLT in one eye with at least 2 months between treatments were evaluated for IOP and medication reduction in the untreated fellow eye. Success was defined as ≥20% IOP reduction or ≥1 medication reduction without any additional IOP lowering procedures or medication.

Solving STODS-Surgical Temporary Ocular Discomfort Syndrome.

The term STODS (Surgical Temporary Ocular Discomfort Syndrome) has been coined to describe the ocular surface perturbations induced by surgery. As one of the most important refractive elements of the eye, Guided Ocular Surface and Lid Disease (GOLD) optimization is fundamental to success in achieving refractive outcomes and mitigating STODS. Effective GOLD optimization and the prevention/treatment of STODS requires an understanding of the molecular, cellular, and anatomic factors that influence ocular surface microenvironment and the associated perturbations induced by surgical intervention.

Spherical Aberration of Cataractous Eyes and Its Relationship With Age, Ocular Biometry, and Various IOL Platforms.

Purpose: To determine the median spherical aberration (SA) of the cataractous population, how it relates to biometry, and the theoretical effect of different intraocular lens (IOL) platforms.

Methods: A retrospective chart review of patients undergoing cataract surgery evaluation with a high quality Pentacam (Oculus Optikgeräte GmbH) were included. Age, gender, Q-value, mean total SA, higher order aberration root mean square wavefront error, and equivalent keratometry were collected from the Holladay report and axial length and anterior chamber depth (ACD) from the IOLMaster 700 (Carl Zeiss Meditec AG).

Predictive Factors of Outcomes in Kahook Dual Blade Excisional Goniotomy Combined with Phacoemulsification.

Aim: To identify factors that were significant predictors of Kahook Dual Blade (KDB) excisional goniotomy outcomes.

Materials And Methods: One hundred and thirty-two eyes from 99 adult glaucoma patients who underwent combined KDB and phacoemulsification (KDB-phaco) with a minimum 6-month follow-up were assessed for baseline patient characteristics to determine correlation to the success of KDB-phaco at 6 and 12 months postoperatively. Success was defined as ≥20% intraocular pressure (IOP) reduction or ≥1 medication reduction as well as IOP ≤18 mm Hg without any additional IOP-lowering procedures after KDB-phaco.

Outcomes of initial and repeat micro-pulse transscleral cyclophotocoagulation in adult glaucoma patients.

Background: Micro-pulse transscleral cyclophotocoagulation (MP-TSCPC) has continued to gain popularity as a treatment in adult glaucoma patients. Thus far there is limited evidence reporting the efficaciousness and safety of retreatment.

Objective: To evaluate safety and efficacy of primary and repeat MP-TSCPC procedures.

Comparison of Outcomes for Laser Trabeculoplasty after Kahook Dual Blade Goniotomy Versus in Goniotomy-Naive Eyes.

Introduction: This was a comparison of laser trabeculoplasty (LTP) outcomes in eyes with prior Kahook Dual Blade (KDB) goniotomy versus in goniotomy-naive control eyes.

Methods: This was a retrospective matched comparative case series. We identified a cohort of patients undergoing LTP between February 2017 and July 2020 at University of Missouri.

Relationship between selective laser trabeculoplasty and excisional goniotomy outcomes in glaucomatous eyes.

Objective: To evaluate the relationship between intraocular pressure (IOP)-lowering success with selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) and Kahook Dual Blade (KDB) goniotomy in eyes with glaucoma.

Design: Retrospective chart review.

Participants: 30 eyes of 24 patients undergoing phacoemulsification combined with a KDB with 6 months follow-up and who had previously undergone SLT in the same eye.

Effect of Excisional Goniotomy with the Kahook Dual Blade (KDB) on Surgically Induced Astigmatism.

Purpose: To determine the effect of Kahook Dual Blade goniotomy with phacoemulsification (Phaco-KDB) compared to phacoemulsification alone (Phaco) on surgically induced astigmatism (SIA).

Design: Prospective study.

Participants: Forty eyes of 28 patients treated with Phaco-KDB and 20 eyes of 13 patients treated with Phaco between 12/27/16 and 7/23/19 with a minimum 1 month follow-up were prospectively enrolled.

Predictive Factors for Outcomes of Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty.

We sought to  determine predictive factors for selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) outcome. 252 eyes from 198 adult patients with open-angle glaucoma who underwent SLT between July 2016 and February 2018 with a minimum 6 month follow up were reviewed. We defined success as ≥20% IOP reduction or ≥1 medication reduction without an IOP lowering procedure.

Comparison Of Surgical Outcomes Between Excisional Goniotomy Using The Kahook Dual Blade And iStent Trabecular Micro-Bypass Stent In Combination With Phacoemulsification.
