Background: Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a rare, progressive, and hereditary disorder that leads to the progressive loss of vision and visual field, and in some cases blindness. The specific relationship between RP and glaucoma has been debated for decades.
Methods: In this study, we examined a Han RP family with concomitant angle-closure glaucoma (ACG), performed an inductive analysis of their clinical features and assistant results, and applied whole-exome sequencing (WES) technology for a molecular diagnosis.
Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates a modified scleral tunnel technique aiming to prevent tube exposure after Ahmed valve implantation in patients with refractory glaucoma.
- The research was conducted on 36 eyes of 34 patients, showing no conjunctival tube exposure during an average follow-up period of 21.68 months.
- The findings suggest that this surgical modification effectively maintains intraocular pressure, with a mean of 18.3 mmHg, allowing only a small number of patients to require additional medications.

To evaluate the safety and efficacy of Ex-PRESS (R50) implantation combined with phacoemulsification in primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG) patients with cataract.Twenty-four eyes of 24 patients with unregulated PACG underwent combined cataract and glaucoma surgery. After phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation, the Ex-PRESS (R-50) was inserted into the anterior chamber under a scleral flap.
