Purpose: The aim of this study is to assess the agreement between manual and automated gonioscopy for iridocorneal angle opening.
Methods: The research is a cross-sectional observational study. Manual and automated gonioscopy were performed to consecutive patients in a glaucoma clinic. Iridocorneal angle opening grading was performed according to Shaffer's classification. Automated gonioscopy was performed with NGS-1 automated gonioscope (NIDEK Co., Gamagori, Japan). The automated gonio-photos were graded by two independent observers. Agreement between automated and manual gonioscopy and also among raters was ascertained by Fleiss' kappa statistic and comparison of area under curve.
Results: In total, 88 eyes of 47 subjects were analysed. Mean age was 63 ± 10 years. Twenty eyes (22.7%) were excluded from grading due to poor quality images. Angle closure was detected in 23.4% with dynamic gonioscopy in comparison with 4.3% using automated image grading. The agreement for angle closure diagnosis between dynamic and automated gonioscopy was low (κ = 0.09 ± 0.10; p = 0.18). The area under curve for detecting eyes with angle closure showed poor accuracy between automated and manual methods (area under curve: 0.53 ± 0.05, 95% confidence interval: 0.44-0.62). There was modest inter-rater agreement for angle opening assessment of automated images with Fleiss' kappa of 0.17 (95% confidence interval: 0.035-0.238).
Conclusion: Manual and automated gonioscopy showed only slight agreement for the assessment of iridocorneal angle opening status. Further improvements of the NGS-1 automated gonioscopy and technique are desired for widespread use in a real-life setting.

Precs: Socioeconomic status is a potentially significant, although difficult to isolate, factor in determining glaucoma severity.
Purpose: To analyze the level of glaucoma severity (mild, moderate, or severe) based on demographic factors, including age, gender, ethnicity, insurance profile, and zip code, and to use this data to extrapolate the effect of socioeconomic status (SES) and race on glaucoma severity at the community level in Memphis, TN.
Patients And Methods: 2913 patients from a tertiary care center with three clinic locations in Memphis, TN who had been given the diagnosis of Primary Open Angle Glaucoma (POAG) through use of the ICD-10 codes for mild (H40.

: Glaucoma, one leading cause of irreversible vision loss worldwide, is primarily caused by elevated intraocular pressure (IOP). Recently, minimally invasive glaucoma surgeries (MIGSs) have become popular due to their shorter surgical times, tissue-sparing nature, and faster recovery. One such MIGS, the Hydrus nickel-titanium alloy Microstent, helps lower IOP by improving aqueous humor outflow.

Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to create and validate a deep learning model called CMD-Net that can effectively identify and classify mechanisms of angle-closure (AC) in eye images obtained from anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT).
- - Researchers analyzed 11,035 AS-OCT images from 1,455 participants, comparing the deep learning model's performance against human ophthalmologists in classifying AC mechanisms, ultimately showing CMD-Net's superior accuracy with mean AUC scores of up to 0.988.
- - Findings indicate that CMD-Net may serve as a reliable tool for classifying AC mechanisms in clinical settings, although further testing is necessary to confirm its effectiveness.

Background: Preclinical technical feasibility study of robot-assisted microinvasive glaucoma surgery using a novel ophthalmic robot-assisted surgery system.
Methods: Feasibility was assessed in synthetic eye models in two stages: Stage I, nonimplantable robot-assisted goniotomy; and Stage II, robot-assisted stent implantation using a trabecular bypass stent. Robot-assisted interventions were subsequently compared to the manual approach.
