The Suprachoroidal Route in Glaucoma Surgery
Glaucoma surgeries targeting the uveoscleral drainage pathways have been drawing more attention lately. Among all the available techniques, procedures focusing on the supra-choroidal space seem particularly promising, by making use of a presumably efficient and secure outflow route and avoiding subconjunctival filtration blebs. The purpose of this review is to assess the efficacy and the securi...
متن کاملConjunctival inflammation in patients under topical glaucoma treatment with indication to surgery.
PURPOSE To compare the frequency of conjunctival HLA-DR expression (a surrogate marker for inflammation) in eyes treated with topical prostaglandin analogues versus eyes treated with other topical antiglaucomatous drugs. METHODS Patients diagnosed with primary open-angle glaucoma presenting indication for trabeculectomy were divided in groups according to the use or not of prostaglandin analo...
متن کاملAnterior Segment Optical Coherence Tomography Imaging of Conjunctival Filtering Blebs after Glaucoma Surgery
Time domain (TD) and spectral domain (SD) optical coherence tomography (OCT) are cross-sectional, noncontact, high-resolution diagnostic modalities for posterior and anterior segment (AS) imaging. The AS-OCT provides tomographic imaging of the cornea, iris, lens, and anterior chamber (AC) angle in several ophthalmic diseases. In glaucoma, AS-OCT is utilized to evaluate the morphology of AS stru...
متن کاملOutcomes of bleb excision and conjunctival advancement for leaking or hypotonous eyes after glaucoma filtering surgery.
AIM To determine outcomes of bleb excision and conjunctival advancement for leaking or hypotonous eyes after glaucoma filtering surgery. METHODS In a retrospective case series the medical records of all patients who underwent bleb excision and conjunctival advancement surgery for bleb leaks or hypotony (defined as IOP less than 6 mm Hg, associated with reduced vision) at the Jules Stein Eye I...
متن کاملOutcomes of conjunctival compression sutures for hypotony after glaucoma filtering surgery.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the outcomes of conjunctival compression sutures (CCS) for enlarged overfiltering blebs associated with ocular hypotony after uncomplicated trabeculectomy with mitomycin C (TM). METHODS A retrospective analysis of consecutively recruited patients with enlarged conjunctival bleb associated with hypotony who had undergone CCS was performed. Patients were considered for CCS...
