Factors Associated With Positive Microbial Culture in Patients With Endophthalmitis Based on Clinical Presentation and Multimodal Intraocular Sampling
Conclusions: A multimodal approach to intraocular sampling should be considered in those presenting with endophthalmitis, with both aqueous tap and vitrectomy associated with an increased probability of achieving a positive culture. (Source: Asia-Pacific Journal of Ophthalmology)

Attaining Intraocular Pressure of ≤10 mm Hg: Comparison of Tube and Trabeculectomy Surgery in Pseudophakic Primary Glaucoma Eyes
Purpose: The aim of this study is to evaluate whether trabeculectomy with antimetabolites or glaucoma drainage device (GDD) surgery is more likely to achieve an intraocular pressure (IOP) ≤10 mm Hg. Design: Retrospective, nonrandomized, cohort study of pseudophakic, primary glaucoma patients. Methods: 53 pseudophakic patients underwent trabeculectomy and 65 received GDD at the University of Florida by one surgeon between 1993 and 2015. The main outcome measures were mean IOP and percentage of patients obtaining an IOP ≤10 mm Hg for up to 5 years postoperatively. A subgroup undergoing a first time glaucoma surge...

Pattern and Presentation of Vitreo-Retinal Diseases: An Analysis of Retrospective Data at a Tertiary Eye Care Center in Nepal
We examined patients presenting in a tertiary eye hospital in Nepal, focusing on information relevant to screening and management programs for vitreo-retinal (VR) disease. Design: Retrospective, cross-sectional study. Methods: We reviewed all patients presenting for the first time to the VR-clinic over 1 year. We quantified patient demography, symptoms and duration, systemic diseases, ophthalmological examinations, diagnostic investigations, and final diagnoses. Results: Of the 1905 cases, 1148 were male (60.3%). The 25th percentile of ages was 29 and 38 years for male and female, respectively; thus, female presen...

A Survey of Surgical Techniques in Pterygium, Thailand 2016
Conclusions: BST and CAGT were the most selected surgical techniques for primary and recurrent pterygium, respectively. Better provision and distribution of amniotic membranes and fibrin glue along with training courses would promote the ideal surgical techniques. (Source: Asia-Pacific Journal of Ophthalmology)
