Background The aim of the study was to evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of the Trabectome for Chinese glaucoma patients. Methods This was a multicenter, retrospective, observational study. Glaucoma patients, except those with neovascular glaucoma, with/without a visually significant cataract were enrolled. The patients received Trabectome or a combined surgery with phacoemulsificati...

Secondary degeneration occurs commonly in the central nervous system after traumatic injuries and following acute and chronic diseases, including glaucoma. A constellation of mechanisms have been shown to be associated with secondary degeneration including apoptosis, necrosis, autophagy, oxidative stress, excitotoxicity, derangements in ionic homeostasis and calcium influx. Glial cells, such as...

Purpose: The goal of this retrospective study was to evaluate how long, on average, after a 360 trabeculotomy procedure secondary surgery needed for patients with congenital and glaucoma.
 Methods: IRB approval received from the Indiana University School Medicine access digital patient charts Riley Children’s Hospital’s department ophthalmology. Kruska-Wallis test utilized average number d...

OBJECTIVE To determine the proportions of glaucoma subtypes and risk factors for glaucoma in a large Japanese American clinic population. METHODS Medical records of patients of Japanese descent who visited 2 private ophthalmology clinics within the last 10 years were retrospectively reviewed. Glaucoma was diagnosed based on optic nerve findings and presence of visual field defects. Main outco...

Neovascular glaucoma is a challenging disease in its pathogenesis and treatment. Ischemic retinopathies can lead to neovascular glaucoma due to newly formed vessels on the iris surface and anterior chamber angle. Eyes with neovascular glaucoma can exhibit high intraocular pressure, usually treated by retinal coagulation, cyclodestructive procedures, or drainage procedures. Based on experimental...

purpose: to assess the clinical course, determine the efficacy and safety of oral methotrexate in the control of intraocular inflammation and evaluate the outcomes of lensectomy-vitrectomy and goniosynechiolysis in pediatric vkh-associated panuveitis. methods: in this retrospective non-comparative interventional case series, 10 patients (20 eyes) with pediatric vkh-associated panuveitis (onset ...

Glaucoma after corneal transplantation is a leading cause of ocular morbidity after penetrating keratoplasty. The incidence reported is highly variable and a number of etiologic factors have been identified. A number of treatment options are available; surgical intervention for IOP control is associated with a high incidence of graft failure. IOP elevation is less frequently seen following deep...

The differential diagnoses for phacolytic glaucoma are acute angle closure glaucoma, open angle glaucoma with uveitis, neovascular glaucoma, and glaucoma secondary to trauma. We report an unusual case where the dislocated cataractous lens firmly adherent to the corneal endothelium evoked a cellular reaction similar to phacolytic glaucoma but clinically appeared like a deep corneal abscess. The ...
