Purpose: We investigated the effect of enhanced monofocal intraocular lenses (IOL) (TECNIS Eyhance DIB00V) on retinal sensitivity in glaucoma patients after cataract surgery by comparing results with of such patients implanted with non-enhanced monofocal intraocular lenses (TECNIS ZCB00V).
Patients And Methods: This was a multi-facility retrospective study of glaucoma patients who had undergone cataract surgery. We measured the value of the foveal threshold with a Humphrey visual field analyzer before and after cataract surgery and considered this value to represent the sensitivity of the retina.
Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted to compare the loss of corneal endothelial cells in glaucoma patients who underwent trabeculectomy (Trab) versus Ex-Press surgery (EXP).
- The research involved analyzing patient data over a three-year period, measuring corneal endothelial cell density (CED) before and after surgery using specialized microscopy.
- Results showed that EXP surgery led to significantly less cell loss compared to Trab, suggesting that EXP is a safer option in terms of preserving corneal health.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare corneal endothelial cell (CED) loss after Ex-Press surgery in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) versus pseudo-exfoliation glaucoma (PEX).
- A total of 119 eyes were analyzed over more than three years to measure CED before and after surgery using noncontact specular microscopy.
- Results showed that PEX patients experienced a more significant decline in CED compared to POAG patients, with a lower CED survival ratio in the PEX group after three years.
Purpose: We treated two patients with ciliary detachment due to an ab interno trabeculotomy. The ciliary detachment was improved by the use of sulfur hexafluoride (SF) gas or octafluoro propane (CF) tamponade.
Patients And Methods: Patient 1 was a 52-year-old Brazilian man with primary open angle glaucoma (POAG).
Purpose: Previously, we reported that the Ex-press® shunt (EXP) was associated with more rapid reduction in corneal endothelial cells when inserted into the cornea rather than the trabecular meshwork (TM). We compared the reduction rate of corneal endothelial cells between the corneal insertion group and TM insertion group.
Methods: This was a retrospective study.
