To report the initial outcomes of phacoemulsification, endoscopic cyclophotocoagulation, and dual blade ab interno trabeculectomy (PEcK), compare them to those trabecular micro-bypass stent insertion (ICE-1).Patients from January 2018 December 2019 that underwent PEcK or ICE-1 at a tertiary referral centre were included in this retrospective comparative case series. Patients excluded if they had additional concomitant procedures, less than 6 weeks (42 days) follow-up not least 18 years old....
Abstract Purpose The purpose of this study is to report the safety and efficacy pars plana glaucoma drainage devices with vitrectomy using one sclerotomy sites for tube placement in patients refractory glaucoma. Methods Retrospective case series 28 eyes who underwent combined device between November 2016 September 2019 at Massachusetts Eye Ear. Main outcome measures were intraocular pressure (IOP), medication burden, best corrected visual acuity, complications. Statistical tests performed R...
This study assesses the safety and efficacy of microinvasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) with cataract extraction in patients normal-tension (NTG). In our sample 45 NTG patients, mean intraocular pressure (IOP) decreased from 13.7 to 12.3 mmHg at 2.5 years, medication burden 2.0 1.1 1.5 years. For success defined as IOP reduction ≥ 30% baseline preoperative levels, probability was 5.4% an reaching goal determined by specialist, probabilities were 67.2% years 29.4% At last follow-up visit, eyes...
To elucidate risk factors for revision or removal of glaucoma drainage devices (GDD) in patients the United States.
Purpose: To compare the effectiveness and safety of augmented vs. traditional Micropulse transscleral cyclophotocoagulation (MP-TSCPC) settings in treatment glaucoma. Methods: Retrospective case-control study. The main outcome measures were Kaplan-Meier analyses comparing cumulative probabilities survival between MP-TSCPC groups terms IOP glaucoma medication reduction. Augmented consisted with a higher mean power, longer duration, use both sweeping stopand-continue techniques. Additional...
To assess the safety and effectiveness of augmented MicroPulse (MP-TSCPC) with limited Continuous Wave Transscleral Cyclophotocoagulation (CW-TSCPC) in patients refractory glaucoma.Thirty-eight eyes 38 underwent combined MP-TSCPC CW-TSCPC at Massachusetts Eye Ear. Kaplan-Meier survival curves Wilcoxon paired sign rank tests were performed to evaluate intraocular pressure (IOP), glaucoma medication burden, best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), adverse events.With success defined as IOP...
To assess outcomes of anterior chamber (AC), sulcus, and pars plana (PP) glaucoma drainage device (GDD) placement in patients. Patients Methods. Retrospective evaluation patients who underwent GDD insertion the AC, or PP at Massachusetts Eye Ear between November 2016 May 2021. received tubes were selected using simple random sampling, first 40 meeting inclusion criteria analyzed. Main outcome measures cumulative success probabilities from Kaplan-Meier (KM) analyses, intraocular pressure...
The coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic resulted in widespread isolation, with hospitalized patients and healthcare workers (HCWs) bearing the physical emotional brunt of patient loneliness. While music has well-documented therapeutic effects reducing depression, anxiety, stress HCWs, in-person performances were not possible during pandemic. In response, Virtual Bedside Concerts (VBC) was created to provide interactive virtual this time isolation. Volunteer coordinators (VCs) work HCWs at...
A healthy 32-year-old woman presented with the acute onset of left sided eye pain, upper eyelid fullness, and binocular diplopia during light weightlifting. Examination elevated intraocular pressure, proptosis, ptosis, motility deficits. CT demonstrated a well-circumscribed, homogeneous-appearing extraconal mass in superior orbit. The patient underwent an urgent orbitotomy excision hemorrhagic mass. Histopathology showed glomus tumor atypical features infarction, best classified as having...
To compare outcomes of glaucoma drainage device (GDD) implantation and trabeculectomies with without postoperative intravitreal injections (IVIs) in patients a history preoperative IVIs.Retrospective cohort study.A total 133 eyes who underwent GDD or trabeculectomy at least 1 IVI preoperatively between January 2005 October 2020 Massachusetts Eye Ear.Chart review traditional surgery before surgery. All statistical analyses were conducted R programming software.Intraocular pressure (IOP),...
Abstract Background: The purpose of this study is to report the safety and efficacy pars plana (PP) glaucoma drainage devices (GDDs) with vitrectomy (PPV) using one sclerotomy sites for tube placement in patients refractory glaucoma. Methods: Retrospective case series 28 eyes who underwent combined PP GDD PPV between November 2016 September 2019 at Massachusetts Eye Ear. Main outcome measures were intraocular pressure (IOP), medication burden, best corrected visual acuity (BCVA),...
