Purpose To evaluate the Ex-PRESS miniature implant (Model R 50) placed under partial-thickness scleral flap compared with standard trabeculectomy. Methods In this retrospective comparative series of 100 eyes, we 50 eyes in 49 patients treated glaucoma a matched control 47 Success was defined as intraocular pressure (IOP) ≥5 mm Hg and ≤21 Hg, or without medications, further surgery removal implant. Early postoperative hypotony IOP <5 during first week. Results The average follow-up 10.8...
This multicenter retrospective study compared the surgical outcomes of Baerveldt glaucoma implant (BGI) surgery with those Ahmed valve (AGV) in patients neovascular (NVG). The included NVG aged ≥ 20 years who had undergone BGI (223 eyes) or AGV (146 between April 1, 2012 and December 31, 2021 across 10 clinical centers Japan. Surgical success failure was primary outcome measure this study. We defined as a reduction < 20% pre-operative intraocular pressure (IOP) criterion A (IOP > 21 mmHg), B...
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the risk factors for tube exposure after glaucoma drainage implant surgery.This a retrospective case-controlled observational 64 eyes from patients. Thirty-two 32 patients with erosion requiring surgical revision were compared matched control Univariate and multivariate factor analyses performed.Mean age significantly younger in group (48.2±28.1 years versus 67.3±18.0 years, respectively; P=0.003). proportion diabetic (12.5%) less (P=0.041) (37.5%)....
Purpose To investigate clinical factors associated with the progression of visual field loss in normal-tension glaucoma (NTG). Methods One hundred and ten patients NTG whose cases were followed for more than 2 years retrospectively analyzed Kaplan-Meier life table method Cox proportional hazards model. Several investigated to find a possible association glaucomatous defined by two different definitions: one mean deviation change other pointwise comparison. Results The model indicated that...
To evaluate the results of Ahmed Glaucoma Valve surgery in neovascular glaucoma and control patients.In this retrospective comparative study, we reviewed 76 eyes patients, comparing surgical outcomes patients (N=38) to matched (N=38). Success was defined as intraocular pressure (IOP) ≥6 mm Hg ≤21 Hg, without further surgery, loss light perception.Average follow-up for 18.4 17.4 months, respectively (P=0.550). The mean IOPs were 17.9±8.4 16.5±15.8 at 1-year (P=0.150), 18.4±11.2 9.9±6.3 2...
Purpose. To determine the clinical features, microbial profiles, treatment outcomes, and prognostic factors for endogenous bacterial endophthalmitis (EBE). Methods. The medical records of 27 eyes 21 patients diagnosed with EBE 11 years were reviewed. Collected data included age, site infection, visual acuities (VAs), regimen. Results. mean age was 68.5 years. Gram-positive organisms accounted 76.2%, while gram-negative ones 19.0%. Staphylococcus aureus most common causative organism (52.3%)...
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of ripasudil for treatment secondary glaucoma, a historical cohort study was conducted at 18 centres in Japan. Adults (age ≥20 years) who needed additional IOP reduction received topical 0.4% between 2014 2018 due to three glaucoma subtypes, including uveitic (UG), exfoliation (EG) or steroid-induced (SG) were assessed mean change from baseline prior with ripasudil. We further evaluated each subtype, characteristics cohort, course uveitis-induced...
To compare the results of Ahmed glaucoma valve (AGV) implantation in eyes containing silicone oil to those without oil.This was a multicenter, retrospective, comparative study 94 patients with mean follow-up 2 years, comparing surgical outcomes (N=47) matched (N=47). Success defined as intraocular pressure (IOP) >/=6 and </=21 mm Hg 20% reduction IOP from preoperative level, or medicines, further surgery loss light perception.The number medications at last were comparable between groups...
Depth analysis of the optic nerve head (ONH) in retinal fundus is important for early detection glaucoma. In this study, we investigate an automatic reconstruction method quantitative depth measurement ONH from a stereo image pair. We propose technique to obtain value pair, which mainly consists five steps: 1. cutout region 2. registration 3. disparity measurement, 4. noise reduction, and 5. calculation. measurements 12 normal eyes are performed using camera Heidelberg Retina Tomograph...
Abstract This retrospective observational study aims to report the clinical characteristics and surgical results in eyes with Posner-Schlossman syndrome (PSS), compare these outcomes between cytomegalovirus (CMV)-positive -negative eyes. We reviewed medical records of 21 consecutive immunocompetent patients clinically diagnosed PSS years 2010 2018. Aqueous humor was collected from all affected detect if CMV present, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) performed using herpesvirus family primers....
To investigate the prevalence and characteristics of optic disc hemorrhages.We took IMAGEnet fundus photographs 14,779 participants, aged 40 years or older in a large-scale eye disease screening project conducted Tajimi, Japan. A single researcher reviewed all for presence ocular abnormality nerve head retina, paying special attention to absence hemorrhages. Glaucomatous neuropathy was diagnosed based on fiber layer defects and/or appearance disc.Fundus 13,965 cases (27,930 eyes) were...
Objective: To evaluate the results of Ahmed Glaucoma Valve implantation in African American and white patients.Methods: In this retrospective, comparative casecontrol study, we reviewed 86 eyes patients, comparing surgical outcomes patients (n=43) with matched (n=43).Success was defined as an intraocular pressure (IOP) between 6 mm Hg 21 or without glaucoma medicines, further surgery, loss light perception (definition 1) IOP achievement a 20% reduction from preoperative level 2).Results: The...
We investigated the inhibitory effects of antibacterial, biocidal, and antifungal agents against Fusarium spp. Seven spp: four F. falciforme (Fusarium solani species complex), one spp, incarnatum-equiseti napiforme (Gibberella fujikuroi isolated from eyes with fungal keratitis were used in this study. Their susceptibility to antibacterial agents: flomoxef, imipenem, gatifloxacin, levofloxacin, moxifloxacin, gentamicin, tobramycin, Tobracin® (contained 3,000 μg/ml tobramycin 25 benzalkonium...
