•There are 3 main approaches to glaucoma surgery: subconjunctival, Schlemm canal–based, and suprachoroidal/ciliary body.•Subconjunctival surgery is ideal for patients with advanced disease, low target pressures, prior failed surgery.•Although transscleral cyclophotocoagulation has classically been reserved refractory glaucoma, micropulse technology might become an indispensable tool used earlie...

background: immune reactions have been reported to be involved in the destruction of retinal ganglion cells (rgcs) in glaucoma. objective: to investigate the role of major histocompatibility complex class i-related chain a and b (mica and micb) molecules in the pathogenesis of glaucoma. methods: aqueous humor and serum samples from 15 glaucoma patients and 45 patients with cataract, undergoing ...

Marfan syndrome (MFS) is a genetic disorder which is inherited by autosomal dominant traits. In MFS, lens displacement and cardiovascular involvement are important causes of morbidity and mortality in the clinical course of the disease. In this case study, the ocular involvement in a family with severe penetration of MFS is reported. Twelve members of a family (father, two daughters, three sons...

RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVE The major objective of treatment in glaucomatous disease is the decrease of intraocular pressure while maintaining the patient's vision and quality of life. Despite therapeutic possibilities, some cases of glaucoma remain refractory to treatment with the maintenance of elevated intraocular pressure and further progression of the disease.Artificial drainage systems, Ahmed...

 Methods: IRB approval received from the Indiana University School Medicine access digital patient charts Riley Children’s Hospital’s department ophthalmology. Kruska-Wallis test utilized average number d...

background: glaucoma is a progressive optic neuropathy and is one of the leading causes of blindness worldwide. different factors have been contributed in the pathogenesis of glaucoma including h. pylori infection. objective: to determine the levels of anti-h. pylori igg antibody in the aqueous humor of patients with pseudoexfoliation and primary open angle glaucoma, in comparison with age and ...

OBJECTIVES To report the incidence of glaucoma and glaucoma suspects in the IATS, and to evaluate risk factors for the development of a glaucoma-related adverse event in patients in the IATS in the first year of follow-up. METHODS A total of 114 infants between 1 and 6 months of age with a unilateral congenital cataract were assigned to undergo cataract surgery either with or without an intra...
