Risk Factors for Failure in Glaucoma Patients Undergoing Microshunt Implantation.

Purpose: To evaluate risk factors for failure of Microshunt in glaucoma patients.

Design: Multicenter retrospective cohort study.

Methods: The study included 220 eyes from 220 consecutive glaucoma patients undergoing Microshunt implantation at six glaucoma units.

Comparison of Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer and Ganglion Cell-Inner Plexiform Layer Thickness Values Using Spectral-Domain and Swept-Source OCT.

Purpose: To compare peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (pRNFL) and macular ganglion cell-inner plexiform layer (mGCIPL) thickness measurements obtained with spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) and swept-source OCT (SS-OCT) using an OCT-angiography scanning protocol, and their ability to distinguish among patients with glaucoma, glaucoma suspects (GS), and healthy controls (HC).

Methods: Cross-sectional study of 196 eyes (81 glaucoma, 48 GS, and 67 HC) of 119 participants. Participants underwent peripapillary and macular OCT with SD-OCT and SS-OCT.

Treatment of Open-Angle Glaucoma and Ocular Hypertension with the Fixed-Dose Combination of Preservative-Free Tafluprost/Timolol: Clinical Outcomes from Ophthalmology Clinics in Italy.

Introduction: The VISIONARY study examined the intraocular pressure (IOP)-lowering efficacy and tolerability of the preservative-free fixed-dose combination of tafluprost (0.0015%) and timolol (0.5%) (PF tafluprost/timolol FC) in a real-world setting.

Combining Structural and Vascular Parameters to Discriminate Among Glaucoma Patients, Glaucoma Suspects, and Healthy Subjects.

Purpose: Compare the ability of peripapillary and macular structural parameters, vascular parameters, and their integration to discriminate among glaucoma, suspected glaucoma (GS), and healthy controls (HCs).

Methods: In this study, 196 eyes of 119 patients with glaucoma (n = 81), patients with GS (n = 48), and HCs (n = 67) underwent optical coherence tomography (OCT) and OCT angiography to measure peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (pRNFL), macular ganglion cell-inner plexiform layer (mGCIPL) thicknesses, radial peripapillary capillary perfusion density (RPC-PD), and macular GCIPL perfusion density (GCIPL-PD). Parameters were integrated regionally with logistic regression and globally with machine learning algorithms.

A case of endophthalmitis following needling procedure after PRESERFLO Micro Shunt implantation.

Purpose: To report a case of endophthalmitis following bleb needling in a patient previously implanted with a PRESERFLO MicroShunt.

Methods: Case report.

Results: A 40-year-old woman with bilateral malformative glaucoma repeatedly operated on in childhood underwent PRESERFLO MicroShunt implantation in her right eye and six needling revisions (NRs) and a surgical revision due to unsatisfactory intraocular pressure (IOP) control due to bleb encapsulation.
