PATIENTS AND METHODS A single centre-based cross-sectional study was carried out over a seven-month period in Sagarmatha Choudhary Eye Hospital (SCEH), Lahan/NEPAL, i...
BACKGROUND Comorbid depression may play an important role in non-compliance with medical treatment among patients with chronic illnesses. Glaucoma is a potentially blinding chronic disease requiring life-long commitment to medical therapy. Failure to adhere to anti-glaucoma treatment may lead to disease progression and visual loss. OBJECTIVES To assess the prevalence of depressive symptoms in...
PURPOSE To evaluate the need for artificial tears by glaucoma patients under topical hypotensive treatment and to identify risk factors associated with it. METHODS The charts of 175 glaucoma patients under medical treatment and 175 age-matched controls were reviewed. Age, gender, use of artificial tears, number of glaucoma medications used, and duration of treatment were recorded. RESULTS S...
To evaluate the safety and efficacy of Trabectome after failed tube shunt surgery.Twenty patients with prior failed tube shunt surgery who underwent Trabectome alone were included. All patients had at least 3 months of follow-up. Outcomes measured included intraocular pressure (IOP), glaucoma medications, and secondary glaucoma surgeries. The success for Kaplan-Meier survival analysis is define...
BACKGROUND/AIMS This study aimed to investigate treatment patterns and medication adherence of glaucoma. It also identified key factors associated with non-adherence. METHODS It was a cross-sectional, observational study. Patients who use eye-drops for ≤2 years were recruited at 15 eye clinics from March to November 2013. Data were collected through self-administered questionnaires and medica...
Glaucoma which is a leading cause of blindness in the world is not a single disease but a group of disorders with diverse clinical manifestations.

Identifying glaucoma at a very early stage is vital and at the same time difficult. Careful evaluation of Optic nerve...
An iridencleisis is added to the original trabeculectomy technique of Cairns as modified by Watson for the surgical treatment of glaucoma. The steps are described with special reference to the fashioning of the iridencleisis as an iris tongue lying curled upon itself with the pigmented layer lining the inner aspect of the iris resting between the scleral flaps. Two series of patients from Afric...
PURPOSE To investigate the clinical features of secondary glaucoma associated with uveitis. METHODS The subjects of the study were 1,099 patients with uveitis (1,604 eyes) treated at the Miyata Eye Hospital, Miyakonojo, Miyazaki, between October 1974 and January 2000. The intraocular pressure (IOP) and clinical data were analyzed retrospectively. Secondary glaucoma was diagnosed in the patien...
INTRODUCTION Adherence to glaucoma treatment is poor, potentially reducing therapeutic effects. A glaucoma educator was trained to use motivational interviewing (MI), a patient-centered counseling style, to improve adherence. This study was designed to evaluate whether MI was feasible in a busy ophthalmology practice. METHODS Feasibility was assessed using five criteria from the National Inst...
