The outcomes of a low-cost, non-valved glaucoma drainage device using mitomycin-C: 1-year results.

Purpose: To evaluate the indications, outcomes, and complications of the usage of Aurolab Aqueous Drainage Implant (AADI) using mitomycin-C.

Methods: A retrospective case series of patients who underwent AADI placement using mitomycin-C between April 2018 and June 2020 at Ain Shams University Hospitals, Cairo, Egypt. The data was extracted from the records of the patients with a minimum of 1 year of follow-up.

Angle Kappa agreement between Scheimpflug tomography, combined placido Scheimpflug and combined slit scanning placido systems.

Purpose: To compare the measured or calculated angle Kappa using Oculus pentacam HR, Sirius and Orbscan III devices.

Patients And Methods: A prospective randomized cohort study, conducted on 47 eyes of 47 healthy orthotropic individuals, with an age range of 18-50 years and a corrected Snellen's distance visual acuity (CDVA) of 0.8 decimal or better.

Transepithelial Laser versus Alcohol Assisted Photorefractive Keratectomy Safety and Efficacy: 1-Year Follow-up of a Contralateral Eye Study.

Purpose: To compare single-step transepithelial photorefractive keratectomy (TPRK) to conventional alcohol assisted epithelial removal then photorefractive keratectomy (AAPRK) regarding pain, epithelial healing, visual acuity, corneal haze measured subjectively and objectively, higher order aberrations changes, contrast sensitivity and vector analysis of astigmatic correction with one year follow-up.

Methods: A prospective double-blind randomized study of 29 subjects (58 eyes) who underwent myopic aberration-free laser correction by smart pulse technology using Schwind Amaris 1050 Hz with 1-year follow-up. Right eye was randomly treated by AAPRK or TPRK.

Visual disability among patients attending glaucoma clinic in a tertiary hospital.

Purpose: To report visual impairment and blindness among the patients attending a glaucoma clinic in a tertiary university hospital and highlight the possible risk factors that could be addressed later.

Methods: A retrospective analysis of the medical records of the patients attending the glaucoma clinic in Ain Shams University Hospitals over a period of one year was conducted. Visual impairment classification was done according to the International Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD-11) based on the best-corrected visual acuity in the better-seeing eye.
