IMPORTANCE Little is known about the necessity of multiple same-day intraocular pressure (IOP) measurements in describing the effect of IOP-lowering surgical procedures, and such evidence could affect surgical trial recruitment and retention of participants. OBJECTIVE To determine whether a single IOP measurement might adequately approximate the mean of several measurements in glaucoma surgic...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the usefulness of the central corneal thickness (CCT)-based correction formulae for stratified CCT groups, with intraocular pressure (IOP) from the Pascal dynamic contour tonometer (PDCT) as the reference standard. DESIGN Retrospective case series. PARTICIPANTS Two hundred eighty-nine patients attending a specialist glaucoma practice and a mixture of normal subjects an...

This study sought to describe a glaucoma patient with interface fluid syndrome (IFS) induced by uncontrolled intraocular pressure (IOP) without triggering factors after laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). Case report and review of the literature. A 23-year-old man with open-angle glaucoma underwent bilateral LASIK for myopia in 2009. Two years later, the patient reported sudden vision loss. T...

Lowering intraocular pressure (IOP) remains the guiding principle of glaucoma management. Although IOP is the only treatable risk factor, its 24-hour behavior is poorly understood. Current glaucoma management usually relies on single IOP measurements during clinic hours, even though IOP is a dynamic parameter with rhythms dependent on individual patients. It has further been shown that most gla...

PURPOSE To establish correlations between intraocular pressure (IOP) measurements obtained with the ocular response analyzer (ORA) and the Goldmann applanation tonometer (GAT). The effects of central corneal thickness on the measures obtained were also examined. METHODS This was a cross-sectional study. IOP was determined in 48 eyes of 48 patients with glaucoma In all patients, central cornea...

PURPOSE The effect of travoprost 0.004% on 24-hour intraocular pressure (IOP) was examined in patients with normal tension glaucoma (NTG). SUBJECTS AND METHODS This study included 17 patients with newly diagnosed unilateral NTG. IOP was measured at three-hour intervals over 24 hours by Goldman applanation tonometer in patients taking topical travoprost 0.004% and was compared retrospectively ...

Purpose: Comparison of the 6-month outcomes ab externo XEN 45 gel stent implantation with conjunctival resection in Korean glaucoma patients.Methods: From January to May 2021, 43 open-angle patients who underwent insertion alone and were followed for more than 6 months classified into incision (n = 23) non-incision 20) groups according presence or absence a analyzed retrospectively. Qualified c...
