PurposeTo compare the ocular hypotensive efficacy and safety of a fixed-dose combination (FDC) Rho kinase inhibitor netarsudil latanoprost vs monotherapy with or latanoprost.DesignThree-month primary endpoint analysis randomized, double-masked, phase 3 clinical trial.MethodsAdults open-angle glaucoma hypertension (unmedicated intraocular pressure [IOP] >20 <36 mm Hg at 8:00 AM) were randomized to receive once-daily netarsudil/latanoprost FDC, 0.02%, 0.005% for up 12 months. The was mean IOP...
Purpose. To evaluate intraobserver and interobserver agreement in locating the scleral spur landmark (SSL) anterior chamber angle measurements obtained using Fourier Domain Anterior Segment Optical Coherence Tomography (ASOCT) images. Methods. Two independent, masked observers (SR AZC) identified SSLs on ASOCT images from 31 eyes with open nonopen angles. A third independent reader, NPB, adjudicated SSL placement if identifications differed by more than 80 μm. Nine months later, SR...
In Brief Purpose: To evaluate current physician patterns for diagnostic lacrimal imaging in patients with epiphora related to obstruction. Methods: An invitation was sent members of the American Society Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstruction Surgeons September 2008 participate a short web-based questionnaire. The survey focused on basic demographic information use indications various types modalities evaluation epiphora. Specific queried included facial x-ray, ultrasound, CT, MRI, contrast...
The purpose of the study was to evaluate neurodegeneration along brain visual pathways in primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) using improved analysis methods volumetric and diffusion tensor magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data.Eleven POAG patients (60.0±9.2 y) with primarily mild moderate 11 age-matched controls (55.9±7.5 were studied structural MRI. Surface-based segmentation applied MRI obtain cortical area volume. Fiber tracking data parameters optic tract radiation. compared...
To investigate retinotopic functional representation in the visual cortex of mild to moderate primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) participants and age-matched normal volunteers using high-resolution blood oxygenation level dependent (BOLD) magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI).
Purpose . To evaluate the normal aging effects on trabecular meshwork (TM) parameters using Fourier domain anterior segment optical coherence tomography (ASOCT) images. Patients and Methods One eye from 45 participants with open angles was imaged. Two independent readers measured TM area, length, area length of interface shadow 3 age groups (18–40, 41–60, 61–80). Measurements were compared stepwise regression analysis. Results The average 0.0487 (<mml:math...
Purpose. To investigate age- and position-related changes of anterior chamber angle anatomy in normal, healthy eyes. Patients Methods. Thirty subjects were separated into a younger older cohort. The superior inferior angles the eyes measured supine sitting positions by ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) with bag/balloon technology. Statistical analysis was used to evaluate positional age-related morphology. Results. In cohort, no location or differences observed. quadrant significantly narrower...
Purpose. To evaluate outcomes of peripheral iridotomy (PI) for initial management primary angle closure suspects (PACS), chronic (CPAC), and glaucoma (CPACG). Patients Methods. Seventy-nine eyes with PACS, CPAC, or CPACG better than 20/50 visual acuity that underwent PI as were included. Eyes previous acute attacks, laser trabeculoplasties, surgeries, intraocular injections excluded. Additional treatments, glaucomatous progression, pressure, acuity, the number medications evaluated. Results....
Purpose . Tube-related exposure is a known complication of glaucoma drainage device (GDD) surgery. Our objective to report the early (approximately 1 year) tube rate implants covered with keraSys (IOP Inc., Costa Mesa, CA, USA) tissue reinforcement graft. Patients and Methods A retrospective, noncomparative, consecutive case series 42 eyes GDD implantation patch grafts was performed. Main outcome measurements included patch-related complications: exposure, wound dehiscence, migration....
Clostridium endophthalmitis is a rare but serious infection. Most cases are associated with exogenous causes, such as inoculation secondary to trauma. However, endogenous do occur. septicum the primary clostridial pathogen endophthalmitis. These infections have been malignancy, particularly colonic and hematologic. We present case of adenocarcinoma colon. This highlights value prompt recognition concurrent systemic evaluation.
Evaluation of: Spaeth GL, Bernstein P, Caprioli J, Schiffman RM. Control of intraocular pressure and fluctuation with fixed-combination brimonidine–timolol versus brimonidine or timolol monotherapy. Am. J. Ophthalmol. 151(1), 93–99.e4 (2011).Lowering (IOP) is fundamental in the treatment glaucoma, as it only therapy demonstrated to slow progression disease. IOP fluctuation, however, may be more complex its role glaucoma not clear. Recent advances have resulted drugs, which improve compliance...
Purpose: Primary open‐angle glaucoma (POAG) is a common ocular disorder with progressive retinal ganglion cell loss. This study explored the application of wide view fMRI to evaluate neural activity whole visual cortex and its relation field functions in POAG patients. Methods: Nine subjects diagnosed (age: 59.9±10.9 y.o., 4 males) nine age‐matched healthy volunteers 58.0±4.6 6 were scanned on 3T Siemens scanner. For each subject, (110°) stimulation rotating wedge was performed during...
Objective: To determine the importance of writing thank you notes after ophthalmology residency interviews.
