PURPOSE Glaucoma may involve disturbances in retinal oxygenation and blood flow. The purpose of this study was to measure the effect of glaucoma filtration surgery on retinal vessel oxygen saturation. METHODS A noninvasive spectrophotometric retinal oximeter was used to measure hemoglobin oxygen saturation in retinal arterioles and venules before and after glaucoma filtration surgery. Twenty-...

BACKGROUND It is well-known that lensectomy surgery during the first year of life increases one's risk of aphakic glaucoma. However, it is controversial whether there is a specific time period during the first year of life after which performing lensectomy surgery has a lower risk of aphakic glaucoma development. PATIENTS AND METHODS A retrospective chart review was performed of all patients ...

AIM To describe the surgical management of glaucoma in a patient with severe scleromalacia, and secondary angle closure. INTRODUCTION The management of glaucoma with coexisting scleromalacia plus secondary angle closure is challenging as most commonly performed incisional glaucoma surgery as well as minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS), which targets the drainage angle are all contraind...

IMPORTANCE The loss of vision following Boston Keratoprosthesis (BKPro) surgery due to glaucoma occurs at a high frequency as diagnosis and management of glaucoma after this procedure pose challenges. OBJECTIVE To compare visual outcomes in patients undergoing Boston Keratoprosthesis surgery with and without prior or concurrent glaucoma surgery. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS This is a r...

purpose: to evaluate the ability to predict visual outcome after penetrating keratoplasty (pkp) in patients with pseudophakic or aphakic corneal edema (pce or ace). methods: medical records of 34 patients (34 eyes) who underwent pkp for pce or ace during 1994-2004 in ahvaz were retrospectively analyzed for variables in the history and ocular examination before pkp and visual outcome after pkp. ...

The aim of this study is to report a case of gold shunt surgery for uncontrolled, low-tension glaucoma with good central vision, after having a previously failed trabeculectomy and tube shunt surgeries. The patient was receiving maximum medical glaucoma therapy of four different types with intraocular pressure of 17 mm Hg prior to gold shunt surgery. Five years later, intraocular pressure is we...

NOVEMBER/DECEMBER 2011 CATARACT & REFRACTIVE SURGERY TODAY 23 D uring the past 15 years, several studies have found a modest but sustained reduction in IOP after cataract surgery. A study from my institution is typical. In a retrospective review of 266 consecutive patients without glaucoma who had uncomplicated clear corneal cataract surgery, my colleagues and I recorded a mean IOP reduction of...

The problem of cataract management in the patients of glaucoma who have undergone fltering surgery is a challenging proposition for any surgeon, as the surgery can lead to several complications in the already compromised eye. As glaucoma requires lifelong management, the development of cataract is a significant concern because its treatment may lead to loss of intraocular pressure (IOP) control...

Glaucoma is the largest cause of permanent blindness globally. Primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) one chronic and asymptomatic in early stage. This study was performed to identify clinical characteristics management POAG patients at Cicendo Eye Hospital, Bandung, Indonesia. retrospective, descriptive conducted on medical records Hospital January-December 2020 using whole sampling method.

PURPOSE To investigate the causes and characteristics of glaucoma in children following cataract surgery. METHODS Twenty-four patients (37 eyes) with uncomplicated congenital cataracts who developed glaucoma after cataract surgery were studied retrospectively. Variables included cataract morphology, surgical techniques, post-operative complications, time to the onset of glaucoma, gonioscopic ...
