Refractive corneal surgery, glaucoma progression, intraocular pressure
Accuracy of intraocular pressure (IOP) measurement depends on the biomechanical properties of the cornea, including its thickness central corneal thickness (CCT) and keratometry (K). Fifty-six eyes of 56 patients with primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) who had a history of...

bleb, cataract, glaucoma, phacoemulsification, trabeculectomy
Previous studies have reported cataract surgery post trabeculectomy to be detrimental to IOP control. Conversely, other studies have reported phacoemulsification performed before trabeculectomy as a factor for bleb failure. The objective of this retrospective case control study was to evaluate...

Glaucoma
The aim of the study was to evaluate the risk of adverse effects and short-term results after 360 degrees selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) in glaucoma patients. The authors enrolled 64 eyes of 64 patients all who had poorly controlled primary...

Glaucoma
The glaucomas are a group of conditions characterised by optic neuropathy and associated visual field defects. Of these, chronic open-angle glaucoma (COAG) – diagnosed on the basis of progressive structural changes to the optic nerve head (ONH) and nerve fibre...

Glaucoma
Chronic open angle glaucoma (COAG) is the second most common cause of blindness worldwide. It is diagnosed on the basis of three clinical signs, raised intraocular pressure (IOP), visual field (VF) defects and structural changes to the optic nerve head...

Glaucoma
Microinvasive surgical approaches to primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) offer minimally traumatic options for effective intraocular pressure (IOP) reduction in appropriately selected glaucoma patients. Increases in laser trabeculoplasty rates and wider adoption of glaucoma drainage device filtration procedures, together with the...
Sharing best practice and landmark evidence in glaucoma care
Evolving technology, best practice and landmark evidence in glaucoma care were reviewed by an international expert faculty in session presentations and debates during the 11th Moorfields International Glaucoma Symposium 2019. The authors were meeting chairs and provide an overview of...SLT vs. topical treatment with prostaglandin analogues in the management of PACG

Glaucoma
Selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) has been shown to be useful in the management of primary open angle glaucoma (POAG), but its use in primary angle closure (PAC) / primary angle closure glaucoma (PACG) has yet to be validated. Narayanaswamy et...

Glaucoma
The authors describe a prospective randomised study of 64 POAG subjects with controlled IOPs comparing visual acuity data in patients randomised to either Ex-Press model P50 or trabeculectomy. Visual acuities were recorded at baseline, day one, weeks one and two...
