Purpose To investigate the effects of intraocular pressure (IOP) reduction on the eyeball shape in highly myopic eyes with high IOP. Methods This study included patients with an axial length ≥26.5 mm and high IOP ≥22 mmHg after receiving maximum medication, with successful trabeculectomy by a single surgeon, and who underwent swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) examinations on ...

PURPOSE To determine the preference of members of the American Glaucoma Society for the use of antifibrotic agents (mitomycin C or 5-fluorouracil or both) and glaucoma drainage devices in ten clinical settings. MATERIALS AND METHODS Voluntary written survey of the American Glaucoma Society. RESULTS American Glaucoma Society (AGS) members continue to report preference for mitomycin C use in ...

Purpose: To compare and investigate the short-term clinical outcomes between 10-0 polypropylene sutured intraocular lens (IOL) scleral fixation modified Yamane sutureless IOL in patients with or crystalline les dislocation aphakic state.Methods: From August 2012 to May 2022, medical records were retrospectively analyzed for 43 40 fixation. Uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), best corrected (BCVA)...

INTRODUCTION In the absence of capsular support, anterior chamber intraocular lens (IOL), iris fixated IOL and sutured scleral fixated intraocular lens (SFIOL) implantation have been performed for many years. Recently sutureless glued SFIOL have been used as a primary or secondary procedure to correct aphakia. In this study we have used sutureless and glueless technique of SFIOL implantation. ...

PURPOSE To compare the course and magnitude of change on the horizontal and vertical meridians of the cornea after 5 different incisions for cataract: extracapsular cataract extraction (ECCE), 6 mm superior scleral tunnel (6Sup), 3 mm superior scleral tunnel (3Sup), 3 mm temporal scleral tunnel (3Temp), and 3 mm temporal corneal incision (3Cor). METHODS Retrospective chart review of 665 cases...

Purpose: To describe the clinical findings and treatment modalities of persistent hypotony following primary trabeculectomy with mitomycin C. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 9 eyes with persistent hypotony, which was defined as intraocular pressure less than or equal to 5 mmHg for more than 2 months. Results: Mean hypotony duration was 7.4 months (standard deviation (SD) ± 6.7 months, rang...

Objective. This is prospective randomized control trial to compare the mean keratometric corneal astigmatism diopter power (not surgical induced astigmatism) among preop and one-month and three-month postop phacoemulcification of either a clear temporal corneal incision or a superior scleral tunnel Incision, using only keratometric astigmatic power reading to evaluate the difference between the...

BACKGROUND Choroidal detachment (CD) is often observed at an early period particularly after trabeculectomy and glaucoma drainage implant surgery. However, topical antiglaucoma eye drop-induced CD is a rare complication. Here, we report a case of topical bimatoprost-induced late-onset CD after trabeculectomy and review the literature. CASE REPORT A 74-year-old man who suffered from primary op...
