OBJECTIVE To investigate the association of latent asymmetric intraocular pressure (IOP) (IOP asymmetry between fellow eyes when patients were in the supine position but not when sitting) with visual field (VF) defects in patients with open-angle glaucoma. METHODS Fifty-three patients with open-angle glaucoma, who were receiving the same topical medication in both eyes, were enrolled and were...

purpose: to evaluate the effects of intravitreal and intracameral injection of bevacizumab in patients with neovascular glaucoma (nvg).   methods: this interventional case series was conducted on 40 eyes of 40 patients with neovascular glaucoma. data included the extent of iris (nvi) and angle neovascularization (nva), peripheral anterior synechia (pas), and intraocular pressure (iop). followin...

In a prospective study we measured the intraocular pressure (IOP), the central corneal thickness (CCT) and the central corneal curvature in 172 myopic eyes before and after LASIK treatment. We find a significant decrease in intraocular pressure. Statistical evaluation reveals a linear correlation between the IOP decrease and the amount of stromal ablation. The IOP and corneal curvature are meas...

This study compares long-term efficacy (up to 48 months) of cyclocryocoagulation and trabeculectomy in lowering the intraocular pressure (IOP). Intraocular pressure evolution after cyclocryocoagulation in one eye and trabeculectomy in the fellow eye for the treatment of primary open- and narrow-angle glaucoma was monitored in five patients. After 4 years both interventions were still active. Cy...

Invest Ophthalmol Vis Sci. 2018;59:1454–1466. https://doi.org/ 10.1167/iovs.17-21964 PURPOSE. Wnt/b-catenin signaling in the trabecular meshwork (TM) is required for maintaining normal intraocular pressure (IOP), although the mechanism(s) be...

Chronic elevations of intraocular pressure (IOP) were produced in rabbit and monkey eyes by anterior chamber injection of autologous fixed red blood cells. The method confirms the possibility of secondary glaucoma due to trabecular obstruction by ghost cells in eyes with intraocular hemorrhage. In primates, decreased aqueous outflow may result from direct obstruction by free cells and macrophag...

The early reports on intraocular bevacizumab injections talked about a transient predictable probably volume-related rise in intraocular pressure (IOP). As the usage of the drug increased across the globe, sustained IOP elevation was noted. This article provides an insightly into the causes of IOP spikes and its impact on glaucoma practice. HOW TO CITE THIS ARTICLE Skalicky SE, I Clement C. T...

This prospective study compares the effect of two viscoelastic agents (Viscoat and Provisc) on an early postoperative intraocular pressure after phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation. The study compares 36 patients with senile cataract. Intraocular pressure (IOP) was measured by standard Goldmann aplanation tonometry preoperatively as well as on the first postoperative day, afte...

BACKGROUND An accurate assessment of Intraocular pressure (IOP) is vital in establishing diagnosis of Glaucoma and decision making regarding various treatment modalities available. The purpose of this study is to compare Goldmann Applanation Tonometer (GAT) with Air puff tonometer. METHODS Cross-sectional comparative study conducted. 73 eyes from 73 patients were included in this study and in...

This is an initial report from a study to determine the safety and efficacy of an implant placed within the sclera to relieve elevated intraocular pressure (IOP). It describes the first eight patients to receive the implant. Intraocular pressure and pneumotonometry were evaluated preoperatively and postoperatively for one year. In five patients, IOP decreased. Three patients in which the implan...
