Efficacy and safety at 6 months of the XEN implant for the management of open angle glaucoma.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and complications of the XEN implant as a solo procedure or in association with cataract surgery in patients with open angle glaucoma (OAG). All patients who received a XEN implant between June 2017 and June 2018 were included in the study. The primary and secondary outcomes were: the reduction of the intraocular pressure (IOP) at 6 months postoperatively, the decrease of the glaucoma medications 6 months after surgery, the clinical success rate (eyes (%) achieving ≥20% IOP reduction on the same or fewer medications without secondary surgical intervention), the frequency and type of postoperative interventions as well as the complication rate.

Comparative Effectiveness and Tolerance of Subliminal Subthreshold Transscleral Cyclophotocoagulation With a Duty Factor of 25% Versus 31.3% for Advanced Glaucoma.

Unlabelled: PRéCIS:: Subliminal subthreshold transscleral cyclophotocoagulation (SS-TSCPC) with duty cycles 25% and 31.3% seems to be an effective approach to reduce intraocular pressure (IOP) in glaucoma that is refractory to medical management.

Objective: The objective of this study was to compare the effectiveness and the tolerance of SS-TSCPC with a duty cycle of 25% versus 31.

Increased choroidal thickness in primary angle closure measured by swept-source optical coherence tomography in Caucasian population.

Purpose: A role of the choroid has been suggested in the pathophysiology of angle closure. We assessed the choroidal thickness (CT) in Caucasian patients with primary angle closure (PAC) and in a subgroup of patients with plateau iris using swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) compared to normal eyes.

Methods: This prospective cohort study in a hospital-based population in a tertiary center compared consecutive patients with PAC to healthy controls.

Benefits of SubCyclo Laser Therapy Guided by High-frequency Ultrasound Biomicroscopy in Patients With Refractory Glaucoma.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of subliminal cyclophotocoagulation using a 25% duty cycle diode laser (Supra 810, SubCyclo, Quantel Medical).

Methods: This was a pilot study of patients who underwent a SubCyclo photocoagulation procedure with a 25% duty cycle, between April 2016 and April 2017 at the Glaucoma Institute of Saint Joseph Hospital of Paris. All patients presented with an evolving moderate to severe glaucoma that were resistant to previous surgical treatments or with a contraindication for filtration surgery.
