Intraocular pressure, Open angle glaucoma, meta-analysis, microstent, phacoemulsification
This systematic review and meta-analysis examined eight randomised controlled trials (RCTs) to compare the intraocular pressure (IOP) reducing effect of three types of microstent implantation (Hydrus, iStent, CyPass) combined with phacoemulsification versus phacoemulsification alone for patients with open-angle glaucoma (OAG)...
Implantation of intraocular pressure sensor in glaucoma patients
The authors report safety and accuracy of an intraocular intraocular pressure (IOP) sensor placed in the ciliary sulcus during planned cataract surgery. Six patients underwent implantation of the device; a silicone rubber ring-shaped device encapsulating pressure sensitive capacitors and a...Current concepts of the uveitis-glaucoma-hyphaema (UGH) syndrome
