Minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) has become increasingly popular as a step in the management pathway of open angle glaucoma. Due to the relative novelty of these devices, there remains some paucity of evidence relating to their... more
Objective: To evaluate the change of biomechanical properties of the trabecular meshwork (TM) and configuration of collector channels (CC) by high-resolution optical coherence tomography (HR-OCT) induced by Schlemm's canal (SC) dilation.... more
Objective-This study was carried out to evaluate the usefulness of endoscopy for examination of the anterior and posterior segments of the glaucomatous eyes. Animals: Fifteen dogs. Methods: Ocular examination was done using endoscopic... more
Medical Glaucoma is a major cause of blindness. It affect quality of life of patients. So the present study was carried out in ESI Hopital, Jaipur with the aim to assess quality of life of glaucoma patients as per WHOQOL-Bref. Along with... more
Trabecular meshwork (TM) motion abnormality is the leading cause of glaucoma. With technique limitations, how TM moves is still an enigma. This study describes a new laboratory platform to investigate TM motion responses to ocular... more
Purpose: To compare the effect on intraocular pressure (IOP) of phacoemulsification combined with viscosynechialysis and trabe-culotomy with that of phacoemulsification combined with trabecu-lectomy in eyes with primary angle-closure... more
Purpose The aim of the study was to evaluate the effi cacy and safety of decapsulation of the fi brous capsule around the valve body versus valve reimplantation in another site in refractory glaucoma cases. Patients and methods We studied... more
We examined the role of common genetic variation in schizophrenia in a genome-wide association study of substantial size: a stage 1 discovery sample of 21,856 individuals of European ancestry and a stage 2 replication sample of 29,839... more
Purpose To make an account of published implant-related complications (IRC) by a systematic review of the literature. Methods A systematic search of Pubmed and Scopus databases and Google Scholar engine was performed with selection... more
Aims: To review the trends in glaucoma procedural treatments from January 2009 to December 2017. Methodology: A retrospective search was carried out from the operating theater and laser room records of the Eye Foundation Hospitals in... more
Intraocular pressure (IOP) is the only treatable risk factor in glaucoma, one of the world's leading causes of blindness. Mechanisms that maintain IOP within a normal range have been poorly understood in contrast to intrinsic mechanisms... more
Purpose: To describe an adjustable suture (AS) experimental model that allows for tightening, loosening and retightening of the suture tension in trabeculectomy. Methods: Standard trabeculectomy was performed in fifteen pig eyeballs. All... more
Purpose: To compare the results of trabeculectomy with subconjunctival Bevacizumab and 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU); with trabeculectomy with 5-FU alone; in terms of intraocular pressure (IOP) lowering, bleb formation, and complications, in the... more
We report the use of a high-resolution optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging platform to identify and quantify pressure-dependent aqueous outflow system (AOS) tissue relationships and to infer mechanical stiffness through examination... more
Purpose To assess the efficacy and safety of the XEN Gel Stent in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma. Materials and methods Twenty eyes of 17 patients (6 males, 11 females) with primary open-angle glaucoma were implanted with XEN... more
MATERIAL Y MÉTODO. Estudio descriptivo retrospectivo de 15 ojos (14 pacientes), para evaluar el control de la PIO en glaucomas refractarios, mediante el implante de una válvula de Ahmed. Los casos se siguieron durante al menos seis meses,... more
We propose an integrated model of aqueous outflow control that employs a pump-conduit system in this article. Our model exploits accepted physiologic regulatory mechanisms such as those of the arterial, venous, and lymphatic systems.... more
Trabecular meshwork (TM) motion abnormality is the leading cause of glaucoma. With technique limitations, how TM moves is still an enigma. This study describes a new laboratory platform to investigate TM motion responses to ocular... more
Primary angle closure glaucoma (PACG) is a major cause of blindness worldwide. We conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) followed by replication in a combined total of 10,503 PACG cases and 29,567 controls drawn from 24... more
Purpose: To review the results of the Moorfields Safer Surgery System (MSSS) for trabeculectomy, recently introduced in Malta. Methods: Patient files were reviewed from data collected over an 18 month period, from Mater Dei Hospital.... more
Introduction: To develop a grading system that provides objective quantification of flow through the conventional aqueous humor out- flow (AHO) system. The technique gives clinicians an additional assessment option in the evaluation of... more
Primary open-angle glaucoma remains one of the leading causes of irreversible blindness in the world. Intraocular pressure (IOP) is the only known treatable risk factor. Treatment of glaucoma remains imperfect because our understanding... more
