BACKGROUND Resident procedure minimums have been established in surgical training programs to ensure adequate training experience. However, achievement of these minimums may fluctuate. Review of resident experience is essential for maintaining successful training curricula. OBJECTIVE To evaluate trends in ophthalmology resident surgical experience from 2009 to 2015. METHODS This was a datab...

purpose: to evaluate the results of one-site phacotrabeculectomy using sutureless tunnel technique without peripheral iridectomy (no-pi) in glaucoma patients with cataract methods: a retrospective study of cases which has been recorded of patients who have had one-site no-pi phacotrabeculectomy using sutureless tunnel technique. we collected pre- and postoperative data in all patients including...

Micro-invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) is gaining interest in very recent years, due to a better safety profile and good tensional results, often associated to cataract surgery. Glaukos iStent® is the only FDA-approved device for micro-invasive glaucoma surgery. It connects the anterior chamber to Schlemm ́s canal by bypassing the trabecular meshwork, increasing the outflow facility. The Glaukos...

INTRODUCTION Manual small-incision cataract surgery with trabeculectomy is now an acceptable option in the surgical management of combined cataract and glaucoma uncontrolled with maximum tolerated medical therapy. OBJECTIVE To compare the results and complications of combined manual small-incision cataract surgery (SICS) and posterior chamber intraocular lens (PCIOL) implantation with trabecu...

Trabeculectomy is a gold standard filtration procedure in the management of glaucoma. However, small incision cataract surgery with trabeculectomy combined surgical for coexisting glaucoma and cataract. The final success rate related to minimizing intraocular pressure (IOP) depends on follow-up duration assessment criteria. This study was aimed evaluate long term control morphology bleb cases u...

Cataract surgery, meaning exchange of the opaque lens in the eye with an artificial lens, is nowadays one of the most successful surgical procedures ever known. It is also the most frequent surgery performed in the Western world. In Sweden alone, more than 100,000 cataract operations are performed annually. Severe complications are rare, occurring only in a few percent of the patients, but owin...

To report acute onset lens particle glaucoma associated with a spontaneous anterior capsular dehiscence. A 66-year-old man presented with spontaneous anterior lens capsule dehiscence with an acute onset of right eye pain that was associated with white particles in the anterior chamber angle and intraocular pressure (IOP) of 55 mmHg. No trauma or other inflammatory antecedents were reported. A h...

OBJECTIVE To determine whether the timing of cataract surgery after trabeculectomy has an effect on trabeculectomy function in terms of intraocular pressure control. METHODS This was a cohort study nested within a randomized clinical trial. There were 235 participants with glaucoma who had a single previous trabeculectomy augmented with either intraoperative 5-fluorouracil or placebo. Catarac...
