Comparison of phacotrabeculectomy versus phacocanaloplasty in the treatment of patients with concomitant cataract and glaucoma
BACKGROUND Cataract and glaucoma are both common comorbidities among older patients. Combining glaucoma surgery with minimal invasive phacoemulsification (phaco) is a considerable option to treat both conditions at the same time, although the combination with filtration surgery can produce a strong inflammatory response. Combined non-penetrating procedures like canaloplasty have shown to reduce...
متن کاملAqueous Levels of Anti-Helicobacter Pylori IgG Antibody in Patients with Primary Open Angle and Pseudoexfoliation Glaucoma
Background: Glaucoma is a progressive optic neuropathy and is one of the leading causes of blindness worldwide. Different factors have been contributed in the pathogenesis of glaucoma including H. pylori infection. Objective: To determine the levels of anti-H. pylori IgG antibody in the aqueous humor of patients with pseudoexfoliation and primary open angle glaucoma, in comparison with age and ...
متن کاملAqueous Humor Levels of Soluble Fas and Fas-ligand in Patients with Primary Open Angle and Pseudoex-foliation Glaucoma
Background: Glaucoma is one of the most common causes of blindness and is usually associated with elevated intraocular pressure. In patients with primary open angle glau-coma the number of trabecular meshwork cells is decreased. Death of the trabecular meshwork cells may be a result of apoptosis. Objective: To investigate the aqueous humor levels of soluble Fas (sFas) and Fas-Ligand (sFasL) in ...
متن کاملComparison of one-site versus two-site phacotrabeculectomy without the use of antimetabolites intraoperatively in patients with pseudoexfoliation glaucoma and primary open-angle glaucoma
PURPOSE The comparison of one-site versus two-site phacotrabeculectomy in patients with pseudoexfoliation glaucoma (PEXG) and primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG), with respect to intraocular pressure (IOP), antiglaucomatous medication (AM) requirements and visual acuity (VA). METHODS Forty-seven patients (eyes) with cataract and POAG and 46 sex- and age-matched patients with cataract and PEXG ...
متن کاملPhacotrabeculectomy and Implantation of Intraocular Lenses with Releasable Sutures and Antimetabolite Agents: Efficacy and Safety
Abstract Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of phacoemulsification and the implantation of intraocular lenses (IOL) combined with trabeculectomy supplemented by releasable sutures and antimetabolite agents. Methods:Phacotrabeculectomy was performed in 36 eyes of 30 patients who hadmedically uncontrolle...
