The definition of glaucoma is an elevated intraocular pressure. Normal intraocular pressures in dogs are 12-24mmHg. The pressure is best measured by tonometry and the most common tonometers are the Tonopen, TonoVet, and Schiotz tonometers. The Tonopen and TonoVet are more easily utilized but the Schiotz can also be accurate when the user is adequately trained in its use. Glaucoma can be either ...

The performance of an innovative pilot-scale subsurface flow compost wetland for the attenuation of zinc in mine drainage was investigated. The particular novelty of the system, which operated under ambient environmental conditions, was the short hydraulic residence time (HRT) of 7.5 – 14.5 hours. Short HRT is crucial because it reduces absolute wetland size and construction cost, which can be ...

Both glaucoma and cataract are diseases with an increasing prevalence with age, and thus one often finds that they are coexistent in the elderly patient population. The association of glaucoma with cataract has become more frequent because of increase in life expectancy. The use of antiglaucoma medication has only strengthened their association. The presence of cataract can affect the ability t...

purpose: to evaluate the effect of early drainage of delayed suprachoroidal hemorrhage (sch) after glaucoma surgery. methods: these study reports seven cases of delayed supra-choroidal hemorrhage following glaucoma surgery managed with early drainage. in this series instead of waiting for 7 to 14 days for clot lysis, the sch was drained from the suprachoroidal space immediately after diagnosis....

Trabeculectomy surgery is the current standard of care in glaucoma for achieving a low target intraocular pressure if medical therapy is not adequate. Augmentation of trabeculectomy with antimetabolites brought a revolutionary change in the long-term success rates of trabeculectomy, but along with it came a plethora of complications. There still is a big window for therapeutic innovations on th...

Minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) has been gaining popularity over the last decade. Although there is no strict definition for MIGS, all the new procedures share the common theme of intraocular pressure reduction with minimal tissue destruction, short surgical time, simple instrumentation and fast postoperative recovery. The use of glaucoma drainage implants has long been the tradition...

PURPOSE To evaluate postoperative outcomes and success after combined phacoemulsification and glaucoma surgery with Ex-PRESS miniature implant compared with combined surgery with standard trabeculectomy. METHODS In this prospective series of 40 consecutive eyes we compared 20 eyes in 17 patients treated with combined phacoemulsification and glaucoma filtering surgery with the Ex-PRESS miniatu...
