AI Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare hemodynamic parameters in men and women with open-angle glaucoma and high intraocular pressure, considering differences in circulation.
- A total of 52 eyes from Open-Angle Glaucoma patients were analyzed using color Doppler imaging to measure blood flow velocities and intraocular pressure.
- The findings indicated no significant differences in retrobulbar hemodynamics between men and post-menopausal women with open-angle glaucoma.
Article Abstract
Background/aim: Several factors may have influence on systemic circulation. Additionally, peripheral circulation also demonstrates sex differences, in young women presenting significantly lower finger blood flow in comparison to men of the same age, a finding that disappears in women after menopause. The aim of this study was to compare the retrobulbar hemodynamic parameters measured by means of color Doppler imaging in women and men with open-angle glaucoma and elevated intraocular pressure.
Methods: A total of 52 eyes from 52 open-angle glaucoma (OAG) patients, with elevated intraocular pressure (lOP), were included in this cross-sectional study. Peak-systolic velocity (PSV), end-diastolic velocity (EDV), and Pourcelot resistivity index (RI) were assessed in the ophtalmic artery (OA), central retinal artery (CRA), and posterior cilliary arteries (PCA). IOP was measured both with Goldmann Applanation tonometer (GAT) and with the dynamic contour tonometer (DCT), three times respectively. Ocular pulse amplitude (OPA) appeared during the DCT measurement.
Results: The retrobulbar hemodynamic parameters did not show any difference between men and post-menopausal women.
Conclusion: The results of our study did not find any difference between sexes in patients with open-angle glaucoma and elevated intraocular pressure.

Peribulbar vs. incisionless sub-Tenon's blocks: a retrospective cohort study.
Eur J Med Res

Department of Anesthesiology and Reanimation, Faculty of Medicine, Osmangazi University, Büyükdere Mh, Odunpazarı, 26040, Eskişehir, Turkey.
Background: Ophthalmic procedures are increasingly being performed under regional anesthesia techniques such as peribulbar and incisionless sub-Tenon's blocks. The aim is to compare peribulbar block with incisionless sub-Tenon's block in terms of perioperative complications in patients who underwent cataract and vitreoretinal surgeries.
Methods: The patients who underwent cataract or vitroretinal surgery under peribulbar block or incisionless sub-Tenon's block were included in the study.

The use of a retrobulbar anesthetic block for surgery of the posterior chamber is a common, effective, and safe practice, although not without risks. This clinical case aims to describe one of the most feared complications of this ophthalmic block, which demands a high degree of suspicion and agility for proper diagnosis and management. A 91-year-old female patient, physical status ASA III, presents for vitrectomy via pars plana of the left eye due to retinal detachment.

Purpose: This study is to evaluate the correlation between retrobulbar perfusion deficits and glaucomatous visual field defects.
Methods: Eighty-four patients with glaucoma and 17 normal subjects serving as controls were selected. Color Doppler imaging (CDI) was used to measure the changes in blood flow parameters in the retrobulbar ophthalmic artery (OA), central retinal artery (CRA), and short posterior ciliary arteries (SPCAs).

Department of Ophthalmology, Training and Research Hospital, Ordu University, Ordu, 52000, Turkey.
Background: To evaluate the changes in retrobulbar circulation after strabismus surgery and to assess the relationship of these changes with choroidal thickness (CT).
Methods: This prospective study included 26 eyes of 26 patients who underwent strabismus surgery and 15 eyes of 15 healthy individuals as control group. The patients who had single horizontal muscle surgery were included in Group 1 (n = 14); and those who had surgery on both horizontal muscles were included in Group 2 (n = 12).

Purpose: To compare blood pressure (BP), intraocular pressure (IOP), ophthalmic artery flow (OAF) velocity, retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness, and visual fields in newly diagnosed hypertension (HT) patients (before treatment), chronic HT (on antihypertensive medications >5 years) and normotensives.
Methods: A prospective, cross-sectional study at a tertiary care centre in India. Three groups of 45 patients each: group 1 - early HT, group 2 - chronic HT, and Group 3 - normotensives, underwent evaluation of BP, IOP by Goldmann applanation tonometry (GAT), OAF velocity by transcranial doppler (TCD), RNFL analysis by spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT), and visual fields.
