Glaucoma Implant Failure Risk Linked With Lifestyle, Demographics
Procedure history, smoking status, laterality, ethnicity, and sex all influence the success of the implants, according to a study.
Surgery Successful in Most Cases of Trauma-Linked Angle Closure
Penetrating canaloplasty yields a high success rate in patients with traumatic angle recession glaucoma.
Elevated IOP Associated With Angle Closure Extent, Anterior Chamber Depth
Parameters such as angle closure extent and anterior chamber depth may affect intraocular pressure, particularly in women, a study suggests.
Racial, Demographic Factors Can Affect Narrow Angle Detection
Patients who are Black, men, or older than 80 were less likely to have been diagnosed with anatomically narrow angles prior to developing primary angle closure glaucoma, a study shows.
Angle Closure Linked With Narrower Structure at Iris Root
OCT measurements match gonioscopic findings, provide insight into angle closure mechanisms.
Phacoemulsification Changes Anterior Chamber Angle
The procedure widens the angle for patients with primary angle closure glaucoma more so than phacotrabeculectomy.
Electronic Monitoring Device May Improve Glaucoma Drop Compliance
Patients with better adherence have stronger surgical success, and an implant may help confirm compliance.
Combined Glaucoma Surgeries Have Greater Success Than Trabeculectomy Alone
Limited deep sclerectomy and trabeculectomy lowers intraocular pressure better than trabeculectomy alone in some patients, according to a report.
Glaucoma Implant Associated With Reduced IOP, Favorable Bleb Morphology
By month 12, 60% of patients who had received the implant achieved complete success.
