For decades, trabeculectomy (TE) was considered the gold standard for surgical treatment of open-angle glaucoma owing to its powerful intraocular pressure (IOP)-lowering potency. However, owing to the invasive nature and high-risk profile of TE, this standard is changing, and minimally invasive procedures are becoming more preferable. In particular...

Context 1
... is particularly important for the often preterminal papillary situation of many difficult glaucomas and may help to prevent the wipeout phenomenon. On the other hand, TE has a very high hypotony rate of more than one-third, of which nearly 20% last longer than 3 months and carry a high risk of long-term damage to the optic nerve fibers [23] (Table 1). An important new indication is preoperated eyes after failed TE [27][28][29]. ...Similar publications
Background: Glaucoma affects more than 75 million people worldwide. Intraocular pressure (IOP) lowering surgery is an important treatment for this disease. Interest in reducing surgical morbidity has led to the introduction of minimally invasive glaucoma surgeries (MIGS). Understanding the comparative effectiveness and safety of MIGS is necessary f...
Purpose
To describe a case of acquired glaucomatous optic disc pit-related maculopathy successfully treated with glaucoma filtering surgery alone.
Case description
A 67-year-old male was diagnosed with advanced primary open angle glaucoma in both eyes, with a cup: disc ratio of 0.85 in the right eye and 0.95 in the left eye. Visual acuity at prese...

Trabecular meshwork (TM) cell therapy has been proposed as a next-generation treatment for elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) in glaucoma, the most common cause of irreversible blindness. Using a magnetic cell steering technique with excellent efficiency and tissue-specific targeting, we delivered two types of cells into a mouse model of glaucoma:...
The trabecular meshwork is an important structure in the outflow pathway of aqueous humor, and its movement ability directly affects the resistance of aqueous humor outflow, thereby affecting the steady state of intraocular pressure (IOP). (1) Objective: The purpose of this study was to preliminarily estimate the effects of pilocarpine eye drops an...
Purpose
Minimally invasive glaucoma surgery is safer and effective surgical modality for patients with glaucoma. To compare the effect of axial length (AL) on the surgical outcomes of combined cataract surgery and ab interno trabeculotomy (phaco-LOT), a retrospective, non-randomized comparative study was performed.
Methods
In total, 458 eyes of 45...
