OCT angiographic evaluation of changes in macula and optic nerve head vessel density after a water drinking test in glaucomatous and healthy eyes.

Purpose: To evaluate the effects of a water drinking test (WDT) on the intraocular pressure (IOP) and vascular density of the optic nerve head and macula in healthy individuals and those with primary open glaucoma using optical coherence tomography angiography.

Methods: In this prospective comparative study, 30 healthy patients and 44 POAG subjects were divided into two groups. The study's outcome measures were the IOP and vessel density of the optic nerve and macular area.

Outcomes of Trabeculectomy and Ahmed Glaucoma Valve Implantation in Patients With Iridocorneal Endothelial Syndrome.

Prcis: Our study highlights the long-term success of trabeculectomy or Ahmed glaucoma valve (AGV) surgery in patients with glaucoma secondary to iridocorneal endothelial (ICE) syndrome. However, many ICE syndrome cases may need multiple glaucoma surgeries to achieve controlled intraocular pressure (IOP), with/without concomitant corneal graft surgery.

Objective: To evaluate the long-term outcome of trabeculectomy and AGV implantation in ICE syndrome.

Early Macular Thickness Changes after Trabeculectomy and Combined Phaco-Trabeculectomy.

Purpose: To assess postoperative changes in central retinal thickness (RT) following trabeculectomy and combined phaco-trabeculectomy using spectral domain-optical coherence tomography.

Methods: In a prospective interventional comparative study, 64 consecutive glaucoma patients who underwent trabeculectomy (32 eyes) or phaco-trabeculectomy (32 eyes) were included. A macular thickness map using the Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study circles of 1 mm, 3 mm, and 6 mm was the standard to evaluate the 9-subfield thickness preoperatively and again at 1 and 3 months after surgery.

Trans-Scleral Cyclophotocoagulation in Refractory Pigment Dispersion-Like Glaucoma Secondary to Ciliary Body Melanoma.

Purpose: To report a case of ciliary body melanoma with acute high intraocular pressure (IOP) due to pigment dispersion, treated by limited trans-scleral cyclophotocoagulation (TSCPC) and plaque radiotherapy.

Methods: A 33-year-old woman was referred to clinic with acute ocular pain and decreased visual acuity from 1 week before presentation. The IOP was 55 mmHg accompanied by red eye, perilimbal injection, mild corneal edema (stromal and epithelial), scattered pigment dust on central corneal endothelium, 4 anterior chamber pigments, and pigmented cells.

Effects of fasting on peripapillary capillary density, peripapillary nerve fiber layer, intraocular pressure and central corneal thickness.

Purpose: To investigate the effects of fasting on intraocular pressure (IOP), central corneal thickness (CCT), radial peripapillary capillary (RPC) density and retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness during Islamic fasting month of Ramadan.

Methods: Twenty-seven healthy fasting volunteers were enrolled. All subjects underwent full ophthalmic examination and optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) of both eyes.

Subconjunctival bevacizumab for primary pterygium excision; a randomized clinical trial.

Purpose: To evaluate the local safety of bevacizumab and its effect on recurrence of primary pterygium excision.

Methods: This randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial was conducted on 44 eyes of 44 patients randomized to Group 1 (bevacizumab) and Group 2 (balanced salt solution). Group 1 underwent pterygium excision with a rotational conjunctival flap and received a total of 7.

Correlation between peak intraocular pressure of the water drinking test and peak intraocular pressure induced by intravenous methylprednisolone pulse therapy.

Purpose: It was the aim of this study to determine any possible correlation between the peaks and changes in intraocular pressure (IOP) of a water drinking test and intravenous methylprednisolone pulse therapy (IVMPT) IOP response.

Methods: Patients with rheumatic disorders scheduled for IVMPT with normal ocular examination received a WDT before and after 3 days of IVMPT. The maximum value of IOPs detected during the WDT or IVMPT was regarded as peak IOP, and IOP change was defined as the difference between peak IOP and baseline IOP.

Ocular biometry in angle closure.

Purpose: To compare ocular biometric parameters in primary angle closure suspects (PACS), primary angle closure glaucoma (PACG) and acute primary angle closure (APAC).

Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed on 113 patients including 33 cases of PACS, 45 patients with PACG and 35 subjects with APAC. Central corneal thickness (CCT), axial length (AL), anterior chamber depth (ACD) and lens thickness (LT) were measured with an ultrasonic biometer.

Comparison of intravitreal injection of bevacizumab and triamcinolone acetonide in the treatment of uveitic macular edema.

Background: Cystoid Macular Edema (CME) is one of the most common and sight threatening complications of uveitis. Intravitreal injection of corticosteroids and Anti-VEGF are two routine options for treatment.

Objective: To compare the effects of intravitreal injections of Bevacizumab and Triamcinolone Acetonide for the treatment of persistent macular edema in non-infectious uveitis.

Bevacizumab and ocular wound healing after primary pterygium excision.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of subconjunctival bevacizumab on early postoperative wound healing in patients with primary pterygium excision.

Methods: In this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, the patients were randomized into 2 groups. Group 1 (G1) received a total of 7.
