Two-year data comparison of ab interno trabeculectomy and trabecular bypass stenting using exact matching.

Purpose: To create a balanced comparison of ab interno trabeculectomy (AIT) (Trabectome) and trabecular bypass stenting (TBS) (iStent).

Setting: Eye and Ear Institute, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Ross Eye Institute, Buffalo, New York, and Glaucoma Associates of Texas, Dallas, USA.

Design: Retrospective case series.

Clinical experience with urgent tube shunt implantation through the ciliary sulcus in phakic eyes.

Purpose: To review the clinical course and outcomes of 3 phakic, ischemic, and inflamed eyes in which we performed urgent tube shunt implantation through the ciliary sulcus without lensectomy.

Methods: This is a retrospective interventional case series. Three eyes of 3 diabetic patients with uncontrolled severe neovascular glaucoma, shallow anterior chambers with closed angles and poor view to the posterior segment, where concomitant lensectomy was not recommended due to uncontrolled uveitis and ischemia, underwent tube shunt implantation through the ciliary sulcus.

Intraocular pressure 3 to 4 hours and 20 hours after cataract surgery with and without ab interno trabeculectomy.

Purpose: To evaluate intraocular pressure (IOP) immediately after cataract surgery with or without ab interno trabeculectomy (Trabectome) and whether trabeculectomy-related hyphema increases the risk for IOP spikes.

Settings: Private glaucoma practice.

Design: Retrospective interventional nonrandomized comparative chart review.
