Purpose: A previously developed machine-learning approach with Kalman-filtering technology accurately predicted disease trajectory for patients with various glaucoma types and severities using clinical trials data. This study assesses performance of the KF approach with real-world data.
Design: Retrospective cohort study.
Prcis: Trabecular cutting minimally invasive glaucoma surgery like bent ab interno needle goniectomy (BANG) when performed in baseline aqueous angiography identified low aqueous humor outflow regions, results in greater success of intraocular pressure reduction.
Purpose: To study the efficacy of Bent Ab Interno Needle Goniectomy (BANG) in high versus low aqueous humor outflow (AHO) regions as determined by Aqueous Angiography(AA) in patients with primary open angle glaucoma (POAG).
Methods: A prospective, single-centre, pilot, randomized control trial recruited 30 eyes of 30 patients of POAG and visually significant cataract (45-80 y) and were randomised into two groups ("A": BANG performed in the high-flow regions and "B": BANG performed in the low-flow regions) of 15 each.

Introduction: This retrospective, consecutive, real-world case series assessed the efficacy and safety of third-generation trabecular micro-bypass stent implantation (iStent infinite) with phacoemulsification in patients with mild-to-moderate primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG).
Methods: Patients underwent phacoemulsification combined with implantation of iStent infinite (containing three stents) by a single U.S.

Purpose: Idiopathic elevated episcleral venous pressure (IEEVP) or Radius-Maumenee syndrome (RMS) is a rare disease without any identified underlying cause. An increasing episcleral venous pressure (EVP) leads to raised intraocular pressure (IOP) and consequently glaucomatous damage of the optic nerve. The objective of this paper is to report this rare condition as well as its clinical management.

This retrospective study investigated the risk of primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) among individuals identified as glaucoma suspects and examined associated cardiovascular risk factors. We conducted a longitudinal, nationwide cohort study using data from the Korean National Health Insurance Service (KNHIS) and included 362,285 participants aged ≥ 40 years from the Korean National Health Screening Program (NHSP) without pre-existing POAG in 2009 and 2010. Of these, glaucoma suspects (n = 32,220) were defined as individuals with at least two recorded instances of the KCD code H400 for glaucoma suspect and no prior antiglaucoma medication prescriptions before health screening.
