Introduction: Coats disease is a rare vasculature pathology that usually presents as retinal telangiectasia with possible progression to exudative retinal detachment (RD). Intravitreal anti-VEGF injections, cryotherapy, laser photocoagulation, and surgery are commonly used to control the disease and prevent its progression. Although iatrogenic tractional RDs secondary to anti-VEGF injections have been reported in patients with Coats disease, RDs in Coats disease are exudative, secondary to retinal exudation and vascular abnormalities.

Aim: Minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) is not typically used in patients with advanced-stage glaucoma. This study describes the outcomes and complications of patients with advanced open-angle glaucoma (OAG) who underwent XEN implantation with cataract surgery or gonioscopy-assisted transluminal trabeculotomy (GATT) with cataract surgery.

Methods: This retrospective study identified patients who had undergone XEN implantation or GATT for the management of advanced OAG.

Purpose: To describe the outcomes of inferior hemisphere 180° gonioscopy-assisted transluminal trabeculotomy (hemi-GATT) in patients with moderate-severe stage primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG).

Methods: This single center, retrospective study identified patients with POAG who had undergone combined inferior hemi-GATT with phacoemulsification. Patients with moderate-severe staged POAG were included in the study.

Objectives: To assess the impact of posterior corneal asphericity on postoperative calculation error using the Haigis-L and the Barrett formulas for eyes after laser in situ keratomileusis or photorefractive keratectomy (PRK).

Methods: We assessed the mean absolute error (MAE) of two power calculation formulas, Barrett true-K and Haigis-L formulas, in a retrospective analysis of 34 eyes of 34 patients who underwent cataract surgery. We performed a regression analysis between corneal parameters (anterior and posterior Q values, Kmax, K1, and K2) and the MAE of each formula.

The use of minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) devices has become increasingly common for the management of elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) in the context of glaucoma. These technologies have traditionally been associated with fewer postoperative complications than conventional surgical techniques. However, we report on a rare case of transient XEN occlusion associated with pupil dilation following XEN gel stent implantation.
