Long-Term Clinical and Safety Outcomes of Canaloplasty Performed across All Grades of Glaucoma Severity
CONCLUSION: iTrack canaloplasty achieved a statistically significant IOP reduction in mild-moderate and severe eyes and was found to be an effective option for reducing IOP and medications in patients with mild-moderate primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG). In severe eyes, it has reduced IOP while the medications remained stable.PMID:37207241 | PMC:PMC10191748 | DOI:10.1155/2023/5625990 (Source: Journal of Ophthalmology)

Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT) for IOP Control in a Patient with Bilateral Acute Iris Transillumination (BAIT)
CONCLUSION: SLT might be an effective therapeutic option and should be considered for the control of IOP in BAIT.PMID:37093961 | DOI:10.1080/09273948.2023.2198000 (Source: Ocular Immunology and Inflammation)

Selective laser trabeculoplasty versus micropulse laser trabeculoplasty for intraocular pressure control in patients with primary open angle glaucoma: a 12-month retrospective comparative study
This study was designed to compare the efficacy of selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) and micropulse laser trabeculoplasty (MLT) in patients with primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) requiring additional IOP control. In this retrospective, comparative study, we reviewed the charts of POAG patients requiring additional IOP lowering, who underwent either SLT or MLT and were followed for at least one year. We evaluated mean intraocular pressure (IOP), mean IOP reduction from baseline and mean number of glaucoma medications 1, 3, 6 and 12  months after treatment. Success rates (success defined as IOP ≤ 21 mmHg and â...

Glaucoma: Diagnosis and Management
Am Fam Physician. 2023 Mar;107(3):253-262.ABSTRACTGlaucoma is a group of eye disorders characterized by progressive deterioration of the optic nerve that can lead to vision loss. Primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) is the most common form in the United States. The risk of POAG increases with age, family history of glaucoma, type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypotension, hypothyroidism, obstructive sleep apnea, cardiovascular disease, and myopia. Up to one-half of patients are undiagnosed because a diagnosis often requires monitoring over years to document changes suggesting POAG. These include a cup-to-disc ratio of 0.3 or greater,...
