Prior glaucoma severity staging systems were mostly concerned with visual field function and retinal nerve fiber layer, but did not include intraocular pressure or medications to capture resistance to treatment. We recently introduced a simple index that combines pressure, medications, and visual field damage and applied it to stratify outcomes of trabectome surgery. This microincisional glauco...

PURPOSE OF THE STUDY Glaucoma, a chronic non-communicable disease, and leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide is a public health problem in Nigeria, with a prevalence of 5.02% in people aged ≥40 years. The purpose of this nationwide survey was to assess Nigerian ophthalmologists' practice patterns and their constraints in managing glaucoma. STUDY DESIGN Ophthalmologists were sent a...

PURPOSE. Postoperative subconjunctival wound healing remains the commonest cause of late bleb failure after glaucoma filtration surgery. This study was undertaken to investigate whether the human monoclonal antibody that neutralizes transforming growth factor2 (CAT-152; lerdelimumab) could be used as a postoperative agent to prevent scarring after glaucoma surgery and compared it with 5-fluorou...

Introduction: Cataracts and Glaucoma are the leading causes of irreversible blindness worldwide. Lens extraction using Phacoemulsification technique can be an effective IOP-lowering treatment for all types glaucoma.
 Objective: To study was to measure Intra-Ocular Pressure before after phacoemulsification determine mean change in Pressure.
 Methodology: This included 53 glaucoma patie...

Microinvasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) is emerging as a new therapeutic option for glaucoma patients who wish to reduce their medication burden and avoid the postoperative complications of conventional glaucoma filtration surgery. These devices differ in terms of their efficacy and safety profile. Schlemm's canal devices have the most favorable safety profile at the compromise of modest efficacy...

UNLABELLED Cataract surgery has been demonstrated to lower intraocular pressure (IOP) in eyes with glaucoma. The evidence is strong in angle-closure patients that cataract surgery improves IOP and dramatically reduces the future risk for IOP spikes and acute attacks. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have shown that cataract surgery may be preferable to laser iridotomy or phacotrabeculectomy....

purpose: to evaluate the outcomes of cataract extraction by phacoemulsification and posterior chamber intraocular lens (pciol) implantation in patients with chronic angle closure glaucoma (cacg). methods: consecutive cacg patients with co-existing visually significant cataracts were included in this noncomparative interventional case series. after obtaining informed consent, clear cornea phaco-...

Background The aim of the study was to evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of the Trabectome for Chinese glaucoma patients. Methods This was a multicenter, retrospective, observational study. Glaucoma patients, except those with neovascular glaucoma, with/without a visually significant cataract were enrolled. The patients received Trabectome or a combined surgery with phacoemulsificati...
