Objectives: To determine the incidence of ocular hypertension (OHT) and glaucoma in patients with acanthamoeba keratitis (AK) and to outline the risk factors for the development of glaucoma.
Methods: A retrospective review of patients diagnosed with AK at our institute during the period from 2000 to 2018. The main outcome measures were the incidence of OHT and glaucoma, and risk factors for the development of glaucoma.
Purpose: To determine the incidence of endophthalmitis after pars plana vitrectomy (PPV), organisms' profile, and management outcomes at a tertiary eye hospital in a Middle East country.
Methods: In this single-arm cohort study conducted in 2020, medical records of patients who underwent PPV not accompanied by any other intraocular surgery were reviewed; those with a diagnosis of acute endophthalmitis in the immediate postoperative period (within 6 weeks) during the past 6 years were analyzed.
Results: A total of 8153 records of PPV surgeries were reviewed.
Precis: In this matched case-control study, ligature of the Ahmed glaucoma valve (AGV) was associated with a reduction in the rate of postoperative complications without affecting the surgical success rate or the visual outcome following the procedure.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare the safety and efficacy of AGV surgery with and without tube ligation.
Materials And Methods: This was a retrospective, matched case-control study.
Purpose: To evaluate the effectiveness of an educational video in increasing knowledge among glaucoma patients and to determine the factors that may influence a patient's level of knowledge.
Patients And Methods: This was a pre-post intervention study on adult glaucoma patients attending the outpatient service at King Khaled Eye Specialist Hospital. The intervention tested was a short educational video that was edited specifically for this study.
