Impact of early and delayed Nd:YAG laser goniopuncture on results of deep sclerectomy (5-years follow up period).

Purpose: To report on impact of Nd:YAG laser goniopuncture (LGP) timing on hypotensive efficacy of deep sclerectomy (DS) for open-angle glaucoma (OAG) patients.

Methods: 228 patients who underwent DS followed by Nd:YAG LGP between January 2010 and December 2013, (follow up - 5 years) were enrolled into a single-center, retrospective, non-randomized, consecutive study. Subjects were divided into two groups (1 - delayed LGP,  = 116; 2 - early LGP,  = 112).

Comparison of the Intraocular Pressure-Lowering Efficacy and Safety of the Brinzolamide/Brimonidine Fixed-Dose Combination versus Concomitant Use of Brinzolamide and Brimonidine for Management of Open-Angle Glaucoma or Ocular Hypertension.

Objective: To demonstrate that the intraocular pressure (IOP)-lowering efficacy of a twice-daily brinzolamide 10 mg/mL (BRINZ)/brimonidine 2 mg/mL (BRIM) fixed-dose combination (BBFC) was non-inferior to its individual components (BRINZ+BRIM) dosed concomitantly in patients with open-angle glaucoma (OAG) or ocular hypertension (OHT). Safety was also evaluated.

Methods And Analysis: This was a Phase III, multicenter, observer-masked study in patients from China, Russia and Taiwan.

Effect of pterygopalatine blockade on perioperative stress and inflammatory outcomes following paediatric cataract surgery.

Background: General anesthesia is required to perform pediatric cataract surgery. To reduce severity of surgical intervention and postoperative complications, regional techniques have been concomitantly used. The traditional regional ophthalmic techniques are retrobulbar, peribulbar and sub-Tenon blocks, which present some technical difficulties and associated complication risks.

[Nd:YAG laser goniopuncture as a mandatory adjuvant procedure after non-penetrating deep sclerectomy (long-term observation results)].

Unlabelled: Today, Nd:YAG laser goniopuncture (LGP) is considered a mandatory non-penetrating deep sclerectomy adjuvant procedure. However, its indications and timing remain debatable.

Purpose: To evaluate the effect of Nd:YAG laser goniopuncture on the long-term hypotensive effectiveness of non-penetrating deep sclerectomy.

[Complex assessment of retinal ischemic damage in patients with retinal vein occlusion].

Purpose: To evaluate the effectiveness of treatment and the possibility of restoring visual functions in patients with retinal vein occlusion (RVO) depending on the initial degree of macular ischemia.

Material And Methods: The study included 84 patients with RVO. The main inclusion criteria were the presence of macular edema in the setting of RVO with the duration of no more than 3 months and without any previous treatment.
