AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Argon laser photocoagulation is an effective surgical modality in the management of open-angle glaucoma. Twenty-two eyes with open-angle glaucoma were treated. Approximately 50 burns of 50 micron spot size were applied to the anterior trabeculum over the inferior 180 degrees of the angle. An average pressure drop of 6.1 mmHg was achieved. Complications were minimal, a transient postoperative pressure rise being the most potentially hazardous.

Travoprost Intracameral Implant in Eyes with Glaucoma or Ocular Hypertension: Early Short-Term Real-World Outcomes.
Clin Ophthalmol

Harvard Eye Associates, Laguna Hills, CA, USA.
Purpose: To assess real-world efficacy and safety of standalone travoprost intracameral implant (iDose TR) implantation by a US glaucoma surgeon in patients with open-angle glaucoma (OAG) or ocular hypertension (OHT).
Methods: This non-randomized, retrospective, unmasked, consecutive case series included all cases of standalone iDose TR implantation from a single US glaucoma surgeon since the product's approval by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in December 2023. Patients were pseudophakic, had OAG or OHT, and had undergone prior SLT and/or bimatoprost intracameral implant injection (Durysta).
Purpose: To assess the safety and efficacy of a modified suprachoroidal silicone tube (SST) shunt in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) and pseudo-exfoliative glaucoma (PXG) in this experimental study.
Methods: In this single-center, retrospective longitudinal data analysis 66 eyes of 59 patients having POAG and PXG were included and treated with modified SST shunt in combination with cataract or as a stand-alone procedure. Pre- and postoperative intraocular pressure (IOP), best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), C/D ratio and ocular adverse events (AEs) were assessed in all participants.

Purpose: To develop an artificial intelligence algorithm to automatically identify the anterior segment structures and assess multiple parameters of primary angle closure disease (PACD) in ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) images.
Design: Development and validation of an artificial intelligence algorithm for UBM images.
Methods: 2339 UBM images from 592 subjects were collected for algorithm development.
Impaired axonal transport contributes to neurodegeneration in a Cre-inducible mouse model of myocilin-associated glaucoma.

Elevation of intraocular pressure (IOP) due to trabecular meshwork (TM) dysfunction, leading to neurodegeneration, is the pathological hallmark of primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG). Impaired axonal transport is an early and critical feature of glaucomatous neurodegeneration. However, a robust mouse model that accurately replicates these human POAG features has been lacking.

This case study details a 41-year-old male patient with Freeman-Sheldon syndrome (FSS) who presented with ocular hypertension. The intraocular pressure (IOP) in his right eye progressively increased over time, leading to visual field loss, culminating in a diagnosis of juvenile-onset open-angle glaucoma (JOAG). Despite conventional medical therapies, adequate IOP control was not achieved, necessitating his referral to Nagoya City University Hospital.
