Results: Postoperative IOP in both groups fell significantly (P=<0.05) below the preoperative medically controlled IOP. At initial 2 months postoperative IOP was almost similar in bothgroups (mean IOP in phacotrab group was 11 mm Hg vs mean IOP in ECCE trab group as 13 mm Hg i.e P= >.050). At 12 months, the IOP in phacotrab group was lower than ECCE trab group. Postoperative visual recovery was...

PURPOSE To study change patterns of 24 h intraocular pressure (IOP) in conscious and freely moving mice using telemetry. METHODS Adult C57BL/6J and CBA/CaJ mice were entrained to a standard 12 h light and 12 h dark cycle. A telemetric pressure transmitter was implanted subcutaneously on the upper back of each light-dark entrained mouse, and the pressure catheter tip was inserted into the vitr...

BACKGROUND The first goal of medical therapy in glaucoma is to reduce intraocular pressure (IOP), and the fixed-combination medications are needed to achieve sufficiently low target IOP. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to evaluate IOP-lowering effect of the commonly used fixed-combination drugs containing 0.5% timolol. METHODS Pertinent publications were identified thro...

Intraocular pressure (IOP) correlates with progressive loss of visual field in patients with glaucoma. Decreasing IOP has been proven to reduce progressive loss of the visual field. This is true both for glaucoma patients with IOPs above or within the normal range. For individuals with ocular hypertension (high IOP but no evidence of glaucomatous neuropathy), lowering IOP may reduce the risk of...

ReportofaCase.A29-year-oldwoman had retinitis pigmentosa with typical ophthalmoscopic findings, a ring scotoma, and a flat electroretinogram. Juvenile glaucoma was diagnosed at the age of 12 years. Becauseof thecharacteristicmalformation of the anterior segment it was classifiedasRiegersyndrome.Theinitial IOP at the time of glaucoma detection was 50 mm Hg. Both eyes underwentElliotoperation.The...

purpose: to compare the efficacy and safety of xalatan(r) with generic latanoprost (xalabiost) in glaucoma. methods: in this randomized crossover study, 17 patients with primary open angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension were randomized into 2 groups. group a received xalatan for 6 weeks followed by xalabiost for 10 weeks. group b received xalabiost for 6 weeks which was then crossed over to xa...

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...

PURPOSE To evaluate the long-term efficacy and safety of intracameral bevacizumab in patients with neovascular glaucoma. METHODS This retrospective study included 26 eyes of 26 neovascular glaucoma patients who received intracameral bevacizumab injection between January 2013 and May 2015, and were followed-up for at least 1 year. All patients were treated with topical and/or systemic intraocu...

The air pulse noncontact tonometer provides a safe and reliable method for measuring intraocular pressure (IOP), and makes it possible to avoid topical anesthesia. Based on previous reports that suggested possible anesthetic-induced IOP variations, this study was undertaken to investigate with this procedure the influence of local anesthetics on IOP and of some topically used drugs that could m...
