SIGNIFICANCE Noncompliance is a problem affecting glaucoma patients. Approaches to improve adherence include the use of drug-delivery systems and safer forms of surgery. Minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) has reduced complications, particularly in combination with cataract surgery, and with its good intraocular pressure (IOP) reduction may reduce or eliminate glaucoma medications.Glauco...

Acute angle closure glaucoma associated with an aortic aneurysm is common in familial cases. But it uncommon without a positive family history. This article tells about case of 80-year-old female, who presented complaints severe eye pain, was diagnosed glaucoma, and had incidental finding multiple aneurysms. The patient treated conservatively medical management, surgery deferred due to age fact...

PURPOSE Currently available anti-scarring regimens for glaucoma filtration surgery have potentially blinding complications and thus the need for alternative and safer agents. The effects of a new antibody to transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta2 on in vitro and in vivo conjunctival scarring and after glaucoma filtration surgery were investigated. METHODS The activity of a novel recombinant m...

PURPOSE Secondary glaucoma is a difficult and frequent complication of uveitis. The aim of this study is to describe the results of surgery in uveitic glaucoma and to identify situations linked to a high risk of failure of the surgery. METHODS Retrospective observational study. Clinical and surgical data from 27 cases of uveitic glaucoma that underwent glaucoma surgery over a period of 9 year...

PURPOSE To evaluate the results of Ahmed glaucoma valve surgery in neovascular glaucoma and control patients. METHODS In this retrospective comparative study, we reviewed 76 eyes of 76 patients, comparing the surgical outcomes in control patients (N=38) to matched neovascular glaucoma patients (N=38). Success was defined as intraocular pressure (IOP) > or =6 mm Hg and < or =21 mm Hg, without ...

C. Glaucoma assessment: determine type of glaucoma (i.e., OAG, PXF, angle closure) and access degree of optic nerve damage can be difficult because cataract may affect visual field testing, alter view of optic nerve and may even be an infrequent cause of glaucoma. Assessment of extent of glaucoma damage is critical for decision-making. Visual fields may “improve” after cataract surgery (Ang et al)

Objective: This study aims to report a case of Glaucoma Drainage Device (GDD) implant surgery in patient who experienced an increase Intraocular Pressure (IOP) after long term trabeculectomy. Case Presentation: A 58-year-old male came with complaint blurred vision since two years ago. Patient did not complain sore and red eyes. He was given 2 x 250 mg Acetazolamide, 1 tablet Aspar K, right left...

Aniridia is a rare developmental disorder. Glaucoma and complications associated with glaucoma surgery are a major cause of blindness in patients with aniridia. We describe here a case of a nine year old boy who presented with familial aniridia of both eyes along with glaucoma. He was treated by trabeculectomy of both eyes, which was successful in controlling the glaucoma.

purpose : to report the long-term outcome of patients with iridocorneal endothelial syndrome (ice) who required surgery for glaucoma. materials & methods : this retrospective, noncomparative case series was conducted on 11 patients with ice who underwent surgery to control their glaucoma between 1992 and 2004 in farabi eye hospital. the first surgery was trabeculectomy with mitomycin c except i...
