Purpose: We evaluated the late-onset ocular hypotensive effect of ripasudil after long-term administration in real-world clinical data and investigated its associated factors in primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG).
Patients And Methods: We reviewed the clinical patients with POAG who newly started ripasudil without changes of treatment. Enrolled eyes were assigned to two groups: positive group with the late-onset effect and negative group. Eyes that show the late-onset effect 6 months after starting ripasudil were defined as positive. Logistic regression models were used to calculate odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the late-onset effect.
Results: We enrolled 74 eyes of 74 patients with POAG (age, 67.5 ± 10.9 years; mean deviation, -11.2 ± 5.9 dB) and followed them for 14.2 ± 5.0 months. Among them, 12 (16.2%) eyes were assigned to the positive group. Retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness (73.4 ± 12.9 vs 64.0 ± 9.8 μm, = 0.04) and primary IOP (18.8 ± 4.1 vs 15.8 ± 4.3 mmHg, = 0.01) before starting ripasudil were higher in the positive group than in the negative group. The late-onset effect was associated with higher IOP (OR, 1.22; 1.01-1.48) and thicker RNFL (2.76; 1.15-6.63).
Conclusion: Some patients with POAG showed the late-onset IOP-lowering effect of ripasudil, and its associated factors were higher IOP and thicker RNFL. The addition of ripasudil may offer potential benefits particularly for early-stage glaucoma with thicker RNFL.

Safety and Efficacy of STREAMLINE Canaloplasty with Phacoemulsification in Hispanic Adults with Open-Angle Glaucoma: 12-Month Outcomes.
Clin Ophthalmol
December 2024
Department of Ophthalmology, University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus, Aurora, CO, USA.
Purpose: To report the 12-month clinical outcomes in eyes with mild to moderate open-angle glaucoma (OAG) in Hispanic adults undergoing STREAMLINE Surgical System (STREAMLINE) canaloplasty combined with phacoemulsification.
Patients And Methods: This was a prospective, multi-center, interventional clinical trial involving 45 eyes of 45 Hispanic adult patients receiving topical medical therapy for mild to moderate OAG and undergoing phacoemulsification surgery for visually significant cataracts at three sites. All eyes underwent a Screening visit, followed by medication washout and a subsequent Baseline visit to determine eligibility for STREAMLINE canaloplasty.
Systemic adverse drug events to topical prostaglandin analogs for treating glaucoma: a retrospective focused pharmacovigilance study.

Background: Prostaglandin analogs are first-line treatments for open-angle glaucoma due to their proven efficacy in reducing intraocular pressure. Despite their topical administration, systemic adverse drug Events (ADEs) have been reported. This study investigates the systemic ADEs associated with topical prostaglandin analogs using the United States Food and Drug Administration (USFDA) Adverse Drug Event Reporting System (AERS) database.

Ophthalmology, Indira Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences, Patna, IND.
Purpose Of The Study: The main purpose of this study is to assess serum lipid levels in patients diagnosed with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG). The secondary objective is to explore the association between these lipid levels, namely serum cholesterol, serum triglycerides, serum low-density lipoprotein (LDL), and serum high-density lipoprotein (HDL), and the development of POAG.
Background: Glaucoma is a major contributor to global blindness, with elevated intraocular pressure as a key risk factor.
