Oral Ibuprofen is Associated With Reduced Likelihood of Early Bleb Failure After Trabeculectomy in High-Risk Glaucoma Patients.

Prcis: Individuals prescribed ibuprofen after trabeculectomy have better postoperative intraocular pressure (IOP) control and a higher chance of bleb survival despite being at a higher risk of scarring.

Purpose: To investigate the effects of early adjunctive oral ibuprofen treatment on IOP and bleb failure in eyes at high risk of scarring.

Methods: In these retrospective analyses, 288 eyes of 273 patients (mean ± SD age: 68.

COVID-19 lockdown measures induced severe iron-deficiency anaemia resulting in central retinal vein occlusion and amenorrhea.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, precautionary measures taken by various countries include individual movement restrictions causing significant lifestyle changes and affecting dietary patterns. A 23-year-old woman presented with reduced left eye vision over 1 week and amenorrhea for 4 months. She was diagnosed with severe iron-deficiency anaemia causing central retinal vein occlusion and amenorrhea.

Risk factors for early-onset corneal haze after photorefractive keratectomy in an Asian population: Outcomes from the Singapore Armed Forces Corneal Refractive Surgery Programme 2006 to 2013.

Purpose: To assess the incidence and risk factors for early corneal haze after myopic photorefractive keratectomy (PRK).

Setting: Tertiary eye center, Singapore.

Design: Retrospective case series.

Diagnostic Performance of the ISNT Rule for Glaucoma Based on the Heidelberg Retinal Tomograph.

Purpose: We determined the accuracy of the inferior > superior > nasal > temporal (ISNT) neuroretinal rim area rule and its variants in adult Asian populations, and evaluated whether disc area impacts its performance characteristics.

Methods: Participants in the Singapore Malay Eye Study (SiMES) and Singapore Indian Eye Study (SINDI) underwent standardized ocular examinations, including optic disc imaging with the Heidelberg retinal tomograph (HRT). Glaucoma was defined using the ISGEO criteria.

Acceptance, attitudes, and beliefs of Singaporean Chinese toward an ocular implant for glaucoma drug delivery.

Purpose: We investigated patients' attitudes and perceptions toward a subconjunctival implant as a novel ocular drug delivery method for glaucoma.

Methods: We recruited 344 Chinese patients with primary open angle or angle closure glaucoma currently on topical antiglaucoma medication for a minimum of six months from specialist glaucoma clinics. Sociodemographic data, and information about patients' general and ocular health were collected.
