purpose: to evaluate the results of one-site phacotrabeculectomy using sutureless tunnel technique without peripheral iridectomy (no-pi) in glaucoma patients with cataract methods: a retrospective study of cases which has been recorded of patients who have had one-site no-pi phacotrabeculectomy using sutureless tunnel technique. we collected pre- and postoperative data in all patients including...
BACKGROUND Although glaucoma is the lead cause of irreversible blindness globally, the condition shows no signs or symptoms until later stages. Knowledge about the disease is known to influence utilization of eye screening services. This study aimed at understanding knowledge and perception of risk for glaucoma, as well as eye screening behaviour among residents of Abokobi, a peri-urban communi...
PURPOSE To investigate the usefulness of visual field testing in the diagnosis and subsequent management of glaucoma in a specialist glaucoma clinic at Groote Schuur Hospital, Cape Town, South Africa. METHODS A retrospective case note review of 344 patients who attended the glaucoma clinic between January and June 2010. RESULTS The study population consisted of 201 (58%) females and 143 (42...
Background: Globally, glaucoma is the leading cause of irreversible blindness. Pseudoexfoliation glaucoma is the most common form of secondary open angle glaucoma. Purpose: To determine the prevalence and characteristics of pseudoexfoliation glaucoma (PXG) among newly diagnosed glaucoma patients in Eye Foundation Hospital Ikeja, Guinness Eye Center, Lagos University Teaching Hospital and Desere...
Background: Glaucoma is the leading cause of irreversible blindness globally hence, need for individual to acquire knowledge prevention, control and appropriate management. This study sought assess glaucoma among patients selected health facilities in Ondo state, Nigeria. Methods: research was a descriptive study. A total 366 respondents randomly from two Ondo-state participated research. self-...
Ocular surface disease (OSD), a disorder affecting the lacrimal and meibomian glands corneal conjunctival epithelium, is well-known complication of topical glaucoma therapy. OSD can present as new or pre-existing condition that virtually any anti-glaucoma formulation exacerbate. As such, both frequently coexist. Typical symptoms include ocular discomfort, redness, burning, dryness, whereas sign...
I N THE LATE 1980S, AN INFORMAL DIALOGUE BEgan between two University of Michigan senior faculty members: one, a glaucoma specialist, and the other, an expert in health behavior.

S ince Pratap Challa, MD, wrote about genetics and glaucoma for Glaucoma Today in 2003,1 investigators have expanded previously successful research to identify more genes associated with this potentially blinding disease. This article updates the ongoing search for genetic markers for glaucoma and genes that contribute to the disease’s onset and progression, discusses the shift from a singlegen...
PURPOSE To discuss the role of mathematical modeling in studying ocular hemodynamics, with a focus on glaucoma. METHODS We reviewed recent literature on glaucoma, ocular blood flow, autoregulation, the optic nerve head, and the use of mathematical modeling in ocular circulation. RESULTS Many studies suggest that alterations in ocular hemodynamics play a significant role in the development, ...
Pseudo exfoliation syndrome (XFS) is an age-related, generalized disorder of the extracellular matrix characterized by the production and progressive accumulation of an abnormal fibrillar extracellular material in many ocular tissues and is the most common identifiable cause of openangle glaucoma worldwide. Exfoliation syndrome plays an etiologic role in open-angle glaucoma, angle-closure glauc...
