Objectives: To determine 36-month efficacy and safety outcomes of the PRESERFLO Microshunt implant in the treatment of refractory uveitic glaucoma.

Methods: Consecutive patients with uncontrolled uveitic glaucoma despite maximum medical treatment received PRESERFLO Microshunt implant with mitomycin C (MMC) in a tertiary referral glaucoma practice. Efficacy and safety outcomes data were collected at month 6, 12, 24, and 36, postoperatively.

Background/objectives: PRESERFLO MicroShunt implantation is a relatively new and increasingly popular treatment for recalcitrant glaucoma. Though relatively uncommon, persistent or severe postoperative hypotony may occur and its treatment presents a significant challenge.

Subjects/methods: Interventional case series of the first 7 consecutive patients who underwent the insertion of a rip-cord suture to treat severe or persistent postoperative hypotony.

Purpose: To establish whether deep learning methods are able to improve the signal-to-noise ratio of time-domain (TD) OCT images to approach that of spectral-domain (SD) OCT images.

Design: Method agreement study and progression detection in a randomized, double-masked, placebo-controlled, multicenter trial for open-angle glaucoma (OAG), the United Kingdom Glaucoma Treatment Study (UKGTS).

Participants: The training and validation cohort comprised 77 stable OAG participants with TD OCT and SD OCT imaging at up to 11 visits within 3 months.

Purpose: To examine interrelations between corneal biomechanics, ocular biometric variables and optic disc size (ODS), lamina cribosa depth (LCD) or thickness (LCT) in a healthy population.

Material And Methods: In a cross-sectional case-control study, the following measurements were made in 81 eyes of 81 participants: axial length, anterior chamber depth, lens thickness, and central corneal thickness using the optical biometer Lenstar LS900; and corneal hysteresis (CH), corneal resistance factor (CRF), Goldman-correlated intraocular pressure (IOPg), and corneal-compensated IOP (IOPcc) using the Ocular Response Analyzer. Serial horizontal enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography (EDI OCT) B-scans of the optic nerve head were obtained in each participant.
