Variations of Intraocular Pressure Measured by Goldmann Applanation Tonometer, Tono-Pen, iCare Rebound Tonometer, and Pascal Dynamic Contour Tonometer in Patients With Corneal Edema After Phacoemulsification.

Prcis: Edematous corneas had lower Goldmann applanation tonometer (GAT) intraocular pressure (IOP) compared with other tonometers. A significant, mild negative correlation between central corneal thickness (CCT) and GAT IOP was found in a group of significant edematous corneas with CCT increases of >100 µm.

Purpose: To compare the IOP that was randomly obtained with the GAT, Tono-Pen, iCare, and Pascal dynamic contour tonometer in patients with corneal edema after phacoemulsification.

Clinical Characteristics and Prognostic Factors of Visual Outcomes in Childhood Glaucoma.

Purpose: To determine the prognostic factors for poor visual outcomes in childhood glaucoma.

Methods: The medical records of patients with childhood glaucoma diagnosed at age 4 years or younger who were treated surgically from 2002 to 2019 at Songklanagarind Hospital, Hatyai, Thailand, were retrospectively reviewed. Glaucoma subtypes, clinical characteristics, final visual acuity, and etiology of visual impairment were recorded.

The effects of selective laser trabeculoplasty and travoprost on circadian intraocular pressure fluctuations: A randomized clinical trial.

Background: To compare the effect of selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) and travoprost on 24-hour IOP fluctuations in primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) and normal-tension glaucoma (NTG).

Methods: Sixty eyes were included. Sixteen and 14 eyes of POAG patients were randomized to receive 360° SLT or 0.

Intraocular Pressure Changes in Non-Glaucomatous Patients Receiving Intravitreal Anti-Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Agents.

Purpose: To study the prevalence of sustained intraocular pressure (IOP) elevation associated with intravitreal injection of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) agents.

Methods: Prospective comparative study. Non-glaucomatous patients scheduled to receive intravitreal injection of anti-VEGF therapy were recruited from an outpatient eye clinic, Songklanagarind Hospital between April 2013 and March 2014.

Ocular Malformations with Presumable Intraocular Calcification.

This is a case of ocular malformations with presumable intraocular calcification based on computed tomography (CT) imaging, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and ocular ultrasound (US) findings. The authors presented the clinical, imaging and pathological findings of this case. Intraocular calcification is the most important finding in retinoblastoma, which requires aggressive management.

Efficacy of Adjunctive Subconjunctival Bevacizumab on the Outcomes of Primary Trabeculectomy With Mitomycin C: A Prospective Randomized Placebo-controlled Trial.

Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of subconjunctival bevacizumab (ScB) as adjuvant therapy to primary trabeculectomy with mitomycin C (MMC) in primary open-angle glaucoma.

Materials And Methods: Forty-six eyes of primary open-angle glaucoma patients were randomized to receive ScB (1.25 mg/0.

Gradenigo's syndrome secondary to chronic otitis media on a background of previous radical mastoidectomy: a case report.

Introduction: Gradenigo's syndrome is nowadays a rare condition characterized by a triad of otorrhea, facial pain with trigeminal nerve involvement and abducens nerve palsy. Most cases are caused by medial extension of acute otitis media into a pneumatized petrous apex and surgical drainage is usually the treatment of choice. We present a case highlighting the pathological mechanism of this disease, demonstrate rare radiological findings associated with this patient, and showcase successful medical treatment without surgical intervention.

Performance of optical coherence tomography for distinguishing between normal eyes, glaucoma suspect and glaucomatous eyes.

Objective: Evaluate the diagnostic performance of spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (OCT) parameters to distinguish between healthy, glaucoma suspect, and glaucomatous eyes.

Material And Method: Forty-eight eyes of glaucoma, 48 glaucoma suspect eyes, and 35 healthy eyes were included. The circumpapillary and macular retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness were measured using the Cirrus OCT (Carl Zeiss Meditec, Inc.

Intraocular pressure monitoring post intravitreal steroids: a systematic review.

The use of intravitreal (IVT) corticosteroids for treatment of posterior segment diseases has increased significantly over the last decade. A commonly recognized complication of IVT steroids is secondary ocular hypertension (OHT) that can occur immediately secondary to direct intraocular volume increase or weeks to months later as a result of increased outflow resistance. We performed a meta-analysis and found 32% (95% confidence interval, 28.

Neovascular glaucoma: a retrospective review of 5-year experience in Songklanagarind Hospital.

Objective: To review causes, treatment modalities, and success of neovascular glaucoma treatment in the past five years at Songklanagarind Hospital.

Material And Method: Neovascular glaucoma of any causes between February 2005 and January 2010 were retrospectively reviewed. The patients were divided into six major treatment subgroups.

Glaucoma tube imaging using anterior segment optical coherence tomography in patients with opaque cornea.

Purpose: Anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) was used to diagnose Ahmed tube tip patency in patients with opaque corneas after corneal transplantation and tube shortening.

Materials And Methods: Noncomparative observational case series: 3 consecutive patients with nonvisualized tubes and uncontrolled intraocular pressure after corneal transplantation underwent AS-OCT to determine tube tip patency.

Results: In each case, AS-OCT allowed for imaging of the tube position, wall passage, and osteum patency that could not be visualized on gonioscopy.

Bilateral septic cavernous sinus thrombosis following the masticator and parapharyngeal space infection from the odontogenic origin: a case report.

Neglect of odontogenic infections can have serious consequences. If they spread through fascial planes and intracranially they can cause an abscess, orbital cellulitis, and eventually cavernous sinus thrombosis. The authors report a case of rapid progressive bilateral orbital cellulitis and cavernous sinus thrombosis that originated from dental caries.

Intraoperator repeatability and interoperator reproducibility in the ultrasonic pachymetry measurements of central corneal thickness.

Objective: To assess the repeatability and reproducibility of central corneal thickness (CCT) measurement by the commercial available ultrasonic pachymeter in Songklanagarind Hospital.

Material And Method: Seventy eyes underwent two sessions of CCT measurements, each session consisting of two CCT measurements, performed by two different operators. The mean and standard deviation of the mean differences were calculated.
