Purpose: To compare the efficacy and invasiveness of manual gonioscopy and automated 360-degree gonioscopy.
Method: Manual and automated gonioscopy were performed on 70 patients with glaucoma. Manual gonioscopy was performed by a glaucoma specialist and an ophthalmology resident, and automated gonioscopy (GS-1) was performed by orthoptists. We compared the examination time for acquiring gonioscopic images (GS-1: 16 directions; manual gonioscopy: 8 directions). Furthermore, we compared the pain and discomfort scores during the examination using the Individualized Numeric Rating Scale. Among the images acquired by automated gonioscopy, we also evaluated the percentages of acquired images that could be used to determine the angle opening condition.
Results: The examination time was not significantly different between manual (80.2±28.7) and automated gonioscopy (94.7±82.8) (p = 0.105). The pain score of automated gonioscopy (0.22±0.59) was significantly lower than that of manual gonioscopy (0.55±1.11) (p = 0.025). The discomfort score was not significantly different between manual (1.34±1.90) and automated gonioscopy (1.06±1.50) (p = 0.165). Automated gonioscopy successfully acquired clear gonioscopic images in 93.4% of the total images.
Conclusion: Automated gonioscopy is comparable in examination time and invasiveness to manual gonioscopy and may be useful for 360-degree iridocorneal angle evaluation.

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.
