Aim: To determine the outcomes of Aurolab aqueous drainage implant (AADI) placed in the superotemporal versus the inferonasal quadrant in adult eyes with refractory glaucoma.
Methods: This was a retrospective study of eyes that had AADI placement and completed a minimum of 2-year follow-up. The choice of the quadrant was at the surgeon's discretion and mainly depended on the amount of scarring and conjunctival mobility.
Aim: To report the intermediate-term outcomes of Aurolab aqueous drainage implant (AADI) surgery in paediatric eyes with refractory glaucoma.
Methods: Case records of patients below 18 years, who underwent AADI surgery between 2012 and 2015 with 2 years follow-up, were analysed. The intraocular pressure (IOP), visual acuity, number of antiglaucoma medications, complications and resurgery if any were recorded at baseline, day 1and then at months 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, 18, 24 and at the last visit.
Aim: To evaluate outcomes of combined pars plana vitrectomy and Baerveldt glaucoma implant (PPV-BGI) placement for refractory glaucoma.
Methods: The medical records of 92 eyes (89 patients) that underwent PPV-BGI were retrospectively reviewed, including 43 eyes with neovascular glaucoma (NVG) and 49 eyes with other types of glaucoma (non-NVG).
Results: Outcome measures were visual acuity (VA), intraocular pressure (IOP), glaucoma medical therapy, complications, and success [VA>hand motions (HM), IOP≥6 mm Hg and ≤21 mm Hg, no subsequent glaucoma surgery].
Purpose: To evaluate critically visual field (VF) improvement in participants in the Collaborative Initial Glaucoma Treatment Study (CIGTS).
Design: Prospective, comparative case series from a randomized clinical trial comparing trabeculectomy and topical medications in treating open-angle glaucoma (OAG).
Methods: A total of 607 subjects with newly diagnosed OAG were identified for study.
Purpose: To report a patient who developed open-angle glaucoma, secondary to bilateral perilimbal conjunctival lymphoid infiltrates without intraocular involvement that resolved after treatment with systemic rituximab.
Methods: Observational case report.
Results: Review of historic, clinical, and photographic data of a 67-year-old woman with non-Hodgkin lymphoma of the axillary and cervical lymph nodes and bilateral perilimbal conjunctival lymphoid infiltrates who presented for treatment of uncontrolled chronic open-angle glaucoma on maximum medical therapy.
Purpose: To describe the surgical technique and clinical outcomes of a procedure for refractory glaucoma, concurrent Baerveldt glaucoma implant (BGI) and trabeculectomy with mitomycin C.
Materials And Methods: Medical records of all patients who underwent combined Prolene-ligated BGI and trabeculectomy with mitomycin C were retrospectively reviewed. Main outcome measures were intraocular pressure (IOP), number of glaucoma medications, visual acuity, and complications.
