To describe the 12-month efficacy and safety of goniotomy performed using Kahook Dual Blade (KDB) in combination with cataract surgery eyes medically treated open-angle glaucoma (OAG). This was a prospective, interventional case series conducted at seven centers North America. Consecutive patients OAG visually significant underwent phacoemulsification combined (PE + goniotomy) KDB. Indications for included reduction intraocular pressure (IOP) IOP-lowering medications. De-identified data were...
To evaluate the intraocular pressure (IOP)-lowering efficacy and safety of a single-use dual blade (Kahook) in patients with mild to end-stage glaucoma.International multicenter ophthalmic care centers.Prospective interventional case series.Consecutive glaucoma who had phacoemulsification plus goniotomy were enrolled this study. Each center collected deidentified clinical data, including preoperative postoperative IOP, medication use, adverse events, whether additional surgery was required...
The purpose of the study is to describe short-term efficacy and safety goniotomy with trabecular meshwork excision using Kahook Dual Blade (KDB, New World Medical Inc., Rancho Cucamonga, CA) in patients severe or refractory glaucoma.Retrospective multicentric case series 53 eyes glaucoma as defined by ICD-10 conducted United States, Mexico, Switzerland. Primary outcome was a ≥20% decrease intraocular pressure (IOP) from baseline at 6 months. Secondary measures were probability achieving an...
Hypotony maculopathy is ocular hypotony complicated by papilledema and/or folding of the retina and choroid in posterior pole. Our objective was to examine current literature regarding treatment methods. A systematic review English-language conducted performing a broad search PubMed from 1972 through 2015 using keywords hypotony. Additional articles were identified bibliographies relevant articles. infrequent before introduction antimetabolite agents glaucoma-filtering surgery, incidence...
The Standard of Care vs Corticosteroid for Retinal Vein Occlusion (SCORE) Study showed that intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide (IVTA) is effective at reducing macular edema and improving visual acuity in participants with retinal vein occlusion. Secondary analysis the incidence, risk factors, timing intraocular pressure (IOP) elevation occurring after IVTA provides guidance clinical decision making management patients treated IVTA.
Topical netarsudil 0.02% may reduce intraocular pressure (IOP) by decreasing episcleral venous (EVP), which carries theoretical utility for glaucoma associated with elevated EVP. A role in patients EVP is evaluated a pilot investigation using cohort of individuals Sturge-Weber syndrome (SWS).Retrospective study SWS and who were treated netarsudil. Five (six eyes) identified. Data collected included demographics, visual acuity, IOP, medical surgical treatments, adverse effects netarsudil.Mean...
The travoprost intracameral implant was recently approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for sustained release medical treatment of open-angle glaucoma in USA. approval represents a substantial progressive step forward area sustained-release therapy. Topical intraocular pressure-lowering medications are faced with host challenges long-term usually lifelong care. A changing paradigm management involves first-line interventions laser modalities, micro-invasive surgeries, platforms....
This study tested the hypothesis that high-risk patients can undergo carotid endarterectomy without associated increased risk of stroke, transient ischemic attack (TIA), or death.Carotid (CEA) has clearly been shown to be effective in reducing stroke selected symptomatic and asymptomatic with extracranial stenosis. However, recently, angioplasty stenting (CAS) suggested as an alternative treatment surgical patients.Medical records for consecutive who underwent CEA from 1996 2001 were...
Purpose: Glaucoma drainage implantation in conjunction with Boston Type 1 Keratoprosthesis placement is a surgical option controlling postoperative glaucoma. The purpose of this study to report outcomes combined pars plana vitrectomy and glaucoma corneal patch graft patients. Patients Methods: A retrospective review patients who underwent combination was performed. Preoperative parameters collected analyzed included: visual acuity, intraocular pressure, number medications achieve pressure...
Purpose: To evaluate and compare the diagnostic specificities of peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness, macular ganglion cell-inner plexiform (GC-IPL) optic head (ONH) measurements in nonglaucomatous myopic individuals. Methods: In a prospective, cross-sectional study, participants underwent complete ophthalmic examination, screening automated visual field test, axial length measurement. The study eye then scanning using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (OCT)...
To assess the effectiveness and safety of adjunctive topical netarsudil 0.02% latanoprostene bunod 0.024% in patients with glaucoma.A retrospective, multi-center, cohort study glaucoma treated or from five tertiary care centers. Inclusion criteria included either medication as therapy. Outcomes mean absolute intraocular pressure (IOP) reduction relative IOP baseline. Adverse reactions reasons for discontinuation were reported. One-way analysis variance, Kruskal-Wallis rank sum test, Mann...
Astigmatism management is a frequently encountered challenge in the world of modern cataract surgery. This review article investigates importance astigmatic correction and seeks to uncover critical components preoperative evaluation. With rapid growth new technologies techniques, this aims also catalogue clarify multitude astigmatism treatment options available for surgeon.
