Article Synopsis
- This study focused on the effectiveness of circumferential trabeculotomy for treating congenital glaucoma using a special illuminated microcatheter in 25 patients at Minia University, Egypt.
- Over a follow-up period of 12 months, the procedure significantly reduced mean intraocular pressure (IOP) from 27.28 mm Hg to 17.50 mm Hg, which is statistically significant.
- The results showed a high success rate, with 76% achieving complete success and 88% qualified success, indicating that this method could be a preferable option for pediatric patients with primary congenital glaucoma, with no serious complications reported.
Purpose: The aim of the study was to compare visual acuity, refractive results, safety, and efficacy of TPRK with AAPRK as primary outcomes and surgical time, pain scores, haze levels, and healing time as secondary outcomes in TPRK and AAPRK groups.
Setting: Security Forces Hospital, Ophthalmology Department, Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Design: Prospective, nonrandomized case-control comparative study.
Purpose: To compare and evaluate the safety and efficacy of two surgical techniques for the management of primary pterygium.
Design: Prospective randomized clinical trial using the CONSORT 2010 Statement (Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials) for parallel group randomized trials.
Setting: Department of Ophthalmology, Al-Minya University, Faculty of Medicine, Egypt.
