roughout the healthcare system. Purpose: To investigate the depth of knowledge about glaucoma among patients who were referred to a tertiary eye hospital for their first visit. Material and Methods: An internally designed questionnaire (scored 0–15) assessing patients’ knowledge about glaucoma was administered at a glaucoma outpatient service. Patients were divided into normal, high-risk, and glaucoma groups based on comprehensive eye evaluation. Scores were analyzed by regression models. The relationship between glaucoma awareness and the stage of disease at presentation was explored. Results: One hundred thirty patients were enrolled and divided into 3 groups. The group with definitive diagnosis of glaucoma had the most prior medical visits but scored the lowest, with the primary source of information being previous healthcare providers. The high-risk group possessed more knowledge about glaucoma than the other groups and tended to acquire knowledge from the media and sought tertiary

effects of the clinical characteristics of disk hemorrhage (DH) and hemodynamic factors on glaucoma progression. Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 81 eyes with open angle glaucoma and nonrecurrent or recurrent DH. Recurrent DH was further classified according to the DH location. Visual field (VF) progression was determined using event-based analysis and Guided Progression Analysis software. The coefficient of variation (CV) of systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) was used to measure visit-to-visit variability. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was used to compare the cumulative risk ratio of progression between groups. Results: The recurrent DH group had significantly higher SBP and DBP (P=0.014 and=0.021, respectively) and a higher proportion of VF progression (P=0.019) than the nonrecurrent DH group. In particular, females with recurrent DH had the highest cumulative probability of VF progression (P=0.047, log-rank test). Recurrent DH in a dif

pt-source optical coherence tomography (OCT) in eyes with OHT. Materials and Methods: Treatment naive eyes with OHT and POAG and healthy eyes were included. All eyes underwent a complete ophthalmological examination in addition to swept-source OCT of the OD. Anatomic features of LC, including central LCT, LC depth, prelaminar depth (PLD), and prelaminar tissue thickness, were measured manually using the internal caliper function of the OCT device and compared within groups. OD ovality, disc-foveal angle, and OD torsion were measured on colored photographs, using imageJ software. Results: Seventy-one eyes of 37 patients in the OHT group, 41 eyes of 26 patients in the POAG group, and 30 eyes of 30 patients in the HC group were enrolled in the study. Groups were similar in age and sex distribution. Central LCT was significantly higher in the OHT group, compared with HCs (333.8 ± 50.5 vs 304.5 ± 46.3 µm, P = 0.02) and POAG group (286.7 ± 140.4, P = 0.001). PLD and LC depth were both highes

r cohort undergoing PGI surgery. Methods: Prospectively collected data on patients undergoing PGI surgery at the University Eye Hospital Bonn, Germany, from April 2021 to September 2021. Results: Of 53 patients, 56 eyes were included. Complete and qualified success rates (95% CI) were 52% (37–66) and 89% (80–96) for criterion A ( intraocular pressure [IOP]≤21 mm Hg), 48% (36–61) and 79% (67–88) for criterion B (IOP≤18 mm Hg), 45% (32–57) and 64% (52–77%) for criterion C (IOP≤15 mm Hg) and 27% (16–40) and 38% (25–50) for criterion D (IOP≤12 mm Hg), respectively. Mean IOP decreased from 25.43 mm Hg (7–48 mm Hg) to 11.25 mm Hg (3–24 mm Hg) (reduction of 50%) after 24 months with a reduction of IOP-lowering agents from 3.50 (1–5) to 0.46 (0–3). One eye needed an injection of viscoelastic due to significant hypotony with AC shallowing; 3 eyes received a Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty because of persistent corneal decompensation; 9 eyes developed tube exposure which required conj

OD)-750, and AOD-500] can attain similar performance to their high-performing 3D counterparts. Objective: To investigate the diagnostic performance of single horizontal 2D versus 3D angle parameters from swept-source anterior segment optical coherence tomography (CASIA2) in detecting angle closure. Materials and Methods: The cross-sectional study included 118 phakic patients (59 open angles, 59 closed angles). AOD, angle recess area (ARA), and TISA at 250, 500, and 750 μm from scleral spur were measured in 360-degree radial-scan images. The 3D information of each measurement was analyzed in 2 patterns: (1) average 3D parameter—the averaged value from 360-degree angle values and (2) estimate 3D parameter—the estimation of surface area of circumferential angle inlet (using AOD) or circumferential angle volume (using ARA and TISA). The areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve [areas under the curve (AUCs)] of eighteen 3D parameters were compared with 2D horizontal parameter

escribe outcomes of resident-performed Ahmed valve implantation over a 5-year period. Methods: In this cross-sectional observational study we retrospectively reviewed the medical records of patients who underwent resident-performed Ahmed glaucoma valve implantation over a 5-year period. The main outcomes were the number of surgeries performed by first-year, second-year, and third-year residents, intraoperative, and postoperative complications, and the association of level of training with outcomes and complications. Results: Totally, 160 eyes were included, with a mean age of 53.8±15.4 years, 63% were men. The most frequent type of glaucoma was neovascular glaucoma (67.5%). Mean follow-up was 23.2±19.6 months. Residents of higher years performed more surgeries and no relationship was found between the surgeon’s level of training and type of glaucoma operated on. After the surgical procedure, significant changes in best-corrected visual acuity were noted in surgeries performed by third-
