Micro-stent is safe and effective after 2-years
May 21st 2014A supracilliary micro-stent, when implanted in conjunction with cataract surgery, substantially reduces intraocular pressure (IOP) with minimal complications in patients with open-angle glaucoma, according to researchers in Germany and the US.
Valve and implant compared for refractory glaucoma
May 16th 2014Patients with refractory glaucoma in whom a proprietary glaucoma implant was placed needed significantly less adjunctive medication to experience success in treatment compared with those who received a proprietary glaucoma valve. However, fewer of those in the latter group had serious postoperative complications, according to recently published 3-year outcomes.
Preservatives in glaucoma medications
May 1st 2014Preservatives are an important component of topical multidose glaucoma medications. However, many glaucoma patients have symptoms of ocular surface disease (OSD), which can affect quality of life, treatment adherence and surgical outcomes. In this article, Prof. Baudouin offers straightforward steps to assess OSD and identify the patients most at risk.
Training improves glaucoma-induced visual field defects
March 5th 2014Repetitive activation of residual vision with training of the visual field borders and areas of residual vision can improve visual field defects caused by glaucoma and increase detection sensitivity, according to results from a randomized clinical trial.
New lenses show promise for sustained glaucoma treatment
February 26th 2014Researchers at University of California, Los Angeles, USA, have developed a new delivery system for treating patients with glaucoma. They have combined nanodiamonds - a by-product of conventional mining and refining processes - with timolol maleate into contact lenses that deliver sustained doses.
Integrated laser platform receives CE Mark approval
February 7th 2014The Optimis Fusion integrated laser platform from Quantel Medical has received CE Mark approval. The system is a combination of advanced selective laser trabeculoplasty photoregeneration therapy with traditional YAG photodisruption treatment for treating both cataract and glaucoma.
Retinal oxygen metabolism differs in glaucoma patients
February 5th 2014Patients with advanced glaucoma have higher oxygen saturation in venules and lower arteriovenous difference in oxygen saturation compared with healthy individuals. The decrease in arteriovenous difference in patients with severe glaucoma may be related to lower oxygen consumption secondary to neuropathy
HEP could be important in diagnosis and monitoring of glaucoma
November 21st 2013Heidelberg edge perimetry (HEP) may have role in the early detection and assessment of functional damage cause by glaucoma, according to the authors of a case report presented online at PubMed via Case Reports in Ophthalmology. Further, HEP testing may potentially have advantages over standard automated perimetry (SAP), currently the gold standard for visual function testing.
Laser speckle flowgraphy may be useful in identifying eyes with normal-tension glaucoma
November 8th 2013Waveform changes in optic nerve head (ONH) blood flow as measured by laser speckle flowgraphy may be useful in differentiating healthy eyes from those with normal-tension glaucoma (NTG), according to the authors of a recent study.
'Experienced' patients still have difficulty administering glaucoma drops
October 31st 2013Even patients experienced with instilling topical glaucoma medications continue to have difficulties with eye drop administration, even those who do not self-report such difficulties, according to a recent study. Further, the risk of having difficulties with eye drop instillation is increased in patients who self-report difficulty and in those who have been previously observed to have difficulties.
SD-OCT measurements of RNFL thickness may help predict likelihood of glaucoma diagnosis
October 21st 2013Researchers have developed a methodology for calculating likelihood ratios for glaucoma diagnosis using continuous retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness measurements taken with spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT), and found that average RNFL thickness values < 86 ?m were associated with negative likelihood ratios of such a diagnosis.
