Clinical results of Trabectome surgery for open-angle glaucoma
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to determine outcomes when using Trabectome surgery and to evaluate factors associated with its effects in primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) and exfoliation glaucoma (EXG). METHODS This was a prospective, non-randomized, observational, comparative cohort study in which Trabectome surgery was used alone in patients with POAG or EXG. Trabectome surgery ...
متن کاملIntraocular pressure and visual field loss in primary angle closure and primary open angle glaucomas.
AIM To compare the correlation between visual field loss and the pretreatment intraocular pressure (IOP) in primary angle closure glaucoma (PACG) and primary open angle glaucoma (POAG). METHODS In a cross sectional observational study of 74 patients (43 PACG, 31 POAG), pretreatment IOP was measured at presentation, before treatment was initiated. The severity of visual field loss was assessed...
متن کاملThe LOXL1 gene variations are not associated with primary open-angle and primary angle-closure glaucomas.
PURPOSE Glaucoma is a complex disease involving multiple genetic factors. Recently, single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the LOXL1 gene have been implicated in exfoliation syndrome (XFS) and exfoliation glaucoma (XFG) but not in the primary glaucomas. This study was conducted to determine the possible involvement of these SNPs in cases of primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) and primary angl...
متن کاملAb interno trabeculectomy: development of a novel device (Trabectome) and surgery for open-angle glaucoma.
PURPOSE To design an instrument to selectively remove trabecular meshwork and Schlemm's canal inner wall (SCIW), and demonstrate its effectiveness by histologic analysis of treated cadaveric human tissue. METHODS The design parameters of the instrument were the ability to permanently remove a segment of trabecular meshwork and Schlemm's canal inner wall without causing damage to surrounding t...
