Aim: To evaluate the safety and the efficacy of the ultrasound ciliary plasty (UCP) on the intraocular pressure (IOP) control in glaucomatous eyes without previous glaucoma surgery.
Methods: A retrospective study included patients with primary and secondary glaucoma who underwent UCP in Dar AlShifa Hospital, Kuwait between January 2017 to June 2018. High-intensity focused ultrasound procedures were performed under peribulbar anesthesia using the 2 generation probe with 8s duration of each of the 6 shots.
Introduction: This is an interventional prospective clinical study which was conducted to evaluate the efficacy, safety, predictability, ocular aberrations, and flap thickness predictability of Visumax femtosecond laser (FSL) compared to Moria M2 microkeratome (MK) in mild to moderate myopia.
Methods: This study included 60 eyes who were divided into two groups. Thirty eyes in group (I) in which the flap was created with Visumax FSL, while in group II (30 eyes) the Moria M2 MK was used.
Article Synopsis
- The study assesses the effectiveness of phacoemulsification and goniosynechialysis (PEGS) for treating primary angle closure that doesn't respond to standard treatments.
- A total of 21 patients were analyzed, showing an average age of 65.6 years, with a significant reduction in intraocular pressure (62%) and the number of required eye medications after the procedure.
- The results indicate that PEGS can improve visual acuity and may be a viable treatment option for this type of glaucoma.
