Neodymium Laser Treatment of IOP Rise Following Ex-Press Glaucoma Device Implantation: A Retrospective Review From 4 Institutions.

Unlabelled: PRéCIS:: Our retrospective study examined the use of neodymium laser in 53 eyes with high intraocular pressure (IOP) following Ex-Press filtration device implantation. We found a statistically significant immediate IOP-lowering effect in all eyes, with a mean IOP reduction of 13.34±8.

Presence or absence of ocular surface inflammation directs clinical and therapeutic management of dry eye.

Background: The presence of clinically significant inflammation has been confirmed in the tears of 40%-65% of patients with symptoms of dry eye. Ocular surface inflammation may lead to tear film instability, epithelial cell irregularities, and permeability, resulting in chronic symptomatic pain and fluctuating vision as well as negative surgical outcomes.

Patients And Methods: A retrospective single center medical chart review of 100 patients was conducted.
