Intraocular Pressure Spike and Corneal Decompensation Following Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty in Patients With Exfoliation Glaucoma.

Purpose: To report 5 cases of intractable intraocular pressure (IOP) elevation and 2 cases of corneal failure in patients with exfoliation glaucoma after undergoing selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT).

Methods: SLT was performed for the treatment of exfoliation glaucoma in 5 patients, all of whom subsequently developed significant IOP elevation within 1 to 5 weeks following treatment. Two patients went on to develop corneal endothelial failure requiring transplantation within 9 to 11 months.

Trabeculectomy With Mitomycin C or Ahmed Valve Implantation in Eyes With Uveitic Glaucoma.

Purpose: To report and compare the results of trabeculectomy with mitomycin C (MMC) and Ahmed valve implantation in the management of uveitic glaucoma.

Patients And Methods: The records of 41 eyes of 29 patients who underwent trabeculectomy with MMC or Ahmed valve implantation for uveitic glaucoma were retrospectively reviewed. Seventeen eyes underwent trabeculectomy with MMC, and 24 eyes underwent Ahmed valve implantation.

Satisfaction and dysphotopsia in the pseudophakic patient.

Objective: To examine factors that influence satisfaction after uncomplicated cataract surgery.

Design: Retrospective case review and examination of patients.

Participants: Sixty-one consecutive patients, seen at the John A.

Intraocular pressure change after temporal clear corneal phacoemulsification in normal eyes.

Purpose: To evaluate short- and long-term intraocular pressure (IOP) changes after temporal clear corneal phacoemulsification in normal eyes.

Methods: The charts of 266 consecutive non-glaucoma patients who underwent uneventful cataract surgery were reviewed. We recorded preoperative and postoperative (1 day, 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year and 2 years) IOP measurements as well as anatomical properties obtained using Zeiss Humphrey IOL Master (Zeiss Meditech, Dublin, California, USA).

Posner-Schlossman syndrome and nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy.

A 41-year-old woman with acute OD pain and decreased visual acuity presented with anterior uveitis, an intraocular pressure of 56 mm Hg, an open angle, ipsilateral nerve fiber bundle visual field defects, and optic nerve edema. With control of intraocular pressure and uveitis, visual acuity improved to 20/25, visual field defects persisted, and optic disc pallor developed. She has remained stable over 23 months of follow-up.
