Minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) offers options for glaucoma treatment that have generally improved safety profiles compared with filtering surgery. MIGS vary in design and procedure, but all angle-based MIGS function by bypassing or removing aqueous humor outflow resistance at the level of the trabecular meshwork. This can lower intraocular pressure but also remove the blood-aqueous barrier.

Background: The present study elucidates a common significant postoperative complication of micropulse transscleral laser treatment (mTLT) and explores its potential management strategies for younger patients with good central vision.

Case Presentation: Three younger Chinese glaucoma patients with good central vision maintained high intraocular pressures (IOPs) (36, 25, and 30 mmHg) on maximally tolerated topical anti-glaucoma medications. All patients were treated with mTLT because of a higher risk of complications with filtering surgery.

Background Trabeculectomy, with the application of mitomycin C (MMC), has been the gold standard glaucoma-filtering surgery. The conventional method of applying MMC using soaked sponges does not ensure a controlled amount of delivery of MMC, and incidences of blebitis are reported to be associated with leftover sponges. This study aims to assess the safety and efficacy of a low dose (0.

Ophthalmology Clinic, Department of Medicine and Aging Sciences, University "G. D'Annunzio" of Chieti-Pescara, Chieti, Italy.

Background: Ocular surface (OS) disorders before glaucoma filtration surgery (GFS) have been considered to play a crucial role influencing the surgical outcome. Conversely, the impact of surgery itself on the OS is almost completely overlooked, though evidence suggest that ocular surface disease (OSD) may be induced in patients by GFS. This review analyzes the determinants involved in the OSD development after GFS, the clinical features and related consequences, the main diagnostic hallmarks, as well as the therapeutic strategies for its management.

Background: Choroidal effusion is a common complication of glaucoma surgery. Although most cases of choroidal effusions resolve spontaneously with observation or medical management alone as intraocular pressure normalizes, surgical drainage might be needed in severe or persistent cases. Herein, we report a case of spontaneous resolution of long-standing severe choroidal effusion after Ahmed glaucoma valve implantation.

The surgical management of glaucoma has been enriched in recent years by the arrival of new surgical techniques as a group known as MIGS (minimally invasive glaucoma surgery). The objective of these new techniques is to reduce intraocular pressure (IOP) while limiting the risk of complications of conventional filtering surgery and allowing faster visual recovery. MIGS can be classified into three main categories depending on the route used to promote the outflow of aqueous humor: the trabecular route, the suprachoroidal route and the subconjunctival route.
