Article Synopsis
- A population-based study in Bangladesh found that 3.2% of individuals aged 35 and older suffer from glaucoma, with a higher prevalence in older men.* -
- The research involved examining nearly 12,000 participants across various locations, revealing that primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) was the most common type, particularly the normal-tension variant.* -
- Findings suggest an estimated 2 million people in Bangladesh may have glaucoma, and increasing age and male gender are significant risk factors, but the results may not apply to other populations.*
Aims: To compare the surgical outcomes of trabeculectomy versus Ahmed glaucoma valve (AGV) implantation in the surgical management of glaucoma in patients with Sturge-Weber syndrome (SWS).
Methods: A retrospective chart review was performed on 40 eyes of secondary glaucoma in patients with SWS separated into two groups: AGV (N=20) and trabeculectomy with mitomycin C (N=20). Demographic data, intraocular pressure (IOP), visual acuity and the number anti-glaucoma medications (AGM) needed were evaluated prior to and following surgery.
