PURPOSE OF REVIEW To review the current literature regarding the effectiveness and risks of new surgeries that can be combined with phacoemulsification in the management of cataract and glaucoma. RECENT FINDINGS Surgical options for concurrently managing cataract and glaucoma have expanded in recent years. Endoscopic cyclophotocoagulation, trabecular micro-bypass stent, ab interno trabeculect...

Introduction. Cataract surgery results in a reduction of intraocular pressure, but it has not been sufficiently investigated how affects short-term pressure fluctuations. The aim this study was to evaluate the effects cataract on fluctuations patients with primary angle-closure, or without glaucoma. Material and Methods. A prospective interventional clinical included 31 (eyes) angle-closure/pri...

PURPOSE To determine the incidence of glaucoma following cataract surgery in children and to identify surgically modifiable risk factors that may influence the development of glaucoma in these eyes. METHODS All lensectomies performed in patients 18 years old or younger over a 7-year period (1995 through 2001) were identified by conducting a database search. A retrospective chart review was pe...

Glaucoma filtration surgery is regularly performed for the treatment of glaucoma and trabeculectomy is often regarded as the 'gold standard' glaucoma operation. The biggest risk of failure of the operation is bleb scarring. The advent of antifibrotic agents, such as mitomycin C (MMC) and 5-fluorouracil (5FU) has vastly prolonged the longevity of the bleb, but concerns remain regarding the poten...

This study involved a group of 407 patients (799 eyes) with pigment dispersion syndrome gathered from a glaucoma population of 9200 patients. The sex distribution was equal. The majority (65 Y.) of patients were myopic. The incidence of retinal detachment was 6-4 %. No patients were black, but 5 were mulatto. Approximately one-quarter of the patients with pigment dispersion syndrome (31 % of th...

Glaucoma represents a progresive multifactorial optic neuropathy characterised by retinal ganglion cell loss and atrophy of the optic nerve its main cause being high intraocular pressure. [1,2] Trabeculectomy is the most used surgical method when it comes to the majority of the ophthalmologists which is why knowing and managing the intraoperative and postoperative complications well is very imp...

Purpose To report a case of profound hypotony maculopathy as a complication of single-agent glaucoma therapy in a patient with a history of panuveitis without previous filtering surgery. Observations A 70-year old Hispanic male with a history of resolved bilateral panuveitis, chronic angle closure glaucoma, and pars plana vitrectomy was started on topical timolol 0.5% daily in the left eye fo...
