PurposeThe aim of the study is to study the safety and efficacy of three cyclodestructive treatments; high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) cyclocoagulation versus micropulse cyclophotocoagulation (MP-CPC) versus transscleral continuous-wave cyclophotocoagulation (CW-CPC) for treatment of non-refractory glaucoma.Methods This is a prospective com...

Purpose The aim of this study was to compare outcome of 3 different surgical modalities for management of uveitic glaucoma (UG). Methods This is a prospective comparative study, carried out on a cohort of 105 eyes (105 patients) with UG of different aetiologies. Patients were randomly allocated to group A (trabeculectomy), group B (Ahmed glaucoma...

Purpose To compare outcome of 4 methods for management of angle closure neovascular glaucoma (NVG) in diabetic eyes. Methods Prospective comparative study, on 40 eyes (40 patients) with NVG. Patients were randomly assigned to group A (Trabeculectomy with MMC), B (Ahmed valve), C (Ex-Press Minishunt with MMC) or D (Diode cyclophotocoagulation). Pat...

Purpose To assess the concerns of the residents and young ophthalmologists as well as the change in their practice during the COVID era. Design This is an cross-sectional study. Methods A questionnaire was directed to the young Ophthalmologists of Ophthalmology department in Cairo University hospitals. The primary outcome measures were the effect...

Purpose: To assess the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on ophthalmology practice in Cairo metropolitan area. Methods: A cross sectional observational analytic study among ophthalmologists practicing in different hospitals in Cairo metropolitan area. The data was collected through a self-administered questionnaire covering general measures taken duri...

Background: Nowadays, the peribulbar block is used as a tool in glaucoma surgery. As a side effect, it increases intraocular pressure that raises the need for adjuvant medication to overcome this problem in the diseased eye. Dexmedetomidine has proven to decrease intraocular pressure (IOP) in the non-glaucomatous eye. Objectives: In a triple-bli...

Purpose To evaluate the safety and efficacy of a novel approach to implant Ex-Press mini shunt via the pars plana under a scleral flap in pseudophakic or aphakic, vitrectomized patients with secondary refractory glaucoma. Methods A prospective interventional case series of three patients with secondary glaucoma after pars plana vitrectomy. Intraoc...

Background: We assessed bleb morphology and the intraocular pressure (IOP)-lowering effect of trabeculectomy with ologen compared to mitomycin C (MMC) in juvenile open-angle glaucoma (JOAG). Methods: This is a prospective interventional comparative study conducted on 40 eyes (20 patients) with medically uncontrolled JOAG, randomly operating one...

Purpose: The aim of this study was to assess the value of intravitreal injection of nonexpansile C3F8 12% in the prevention of suprachoroidal hemorrhage (SCH) after Ahmed valve implantation for the treatment of secondary glaucoma in vitrectomized, aphakic, and aniridic eyes following blunt trauma. Patients and methods: This is a case series of 5...

Purpose: Aim of this study was to compare outcome of four different surgical modalities for management of persistent glaucoma after silicone oil removal in vitrectomized eyes. Methods: This is a prospective comparative study, carried out on a cohort of 41 eyes (41 patients). Patients were randomly allocated to Group A (trabeculectomy), Group B (...

Objective: To correlate findings on spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) and best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) following primary vitrectomy for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). Methods: In this prospective, interventional, non-randomized case series, 71 eyes with RRD of intermediate severity underwent primary vitrectom...

PurposeWe aimed to assess the IOP-lowering effect of trabeculectomy with ologen in refractory secondary glaucoma following failed trabeculectomy with mitomycin C (MMC), and to compare its surgical outcome between open angle (SOAG) and angle closure (SACG) cases.Methods This is a prospective interventional comparative study conducted on 40 eyes (40...

PURPOSE: To investigate the correlation between optic nerve head retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) and ganglion cell complex (GCC) layer changes in primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) using spectral domain optical coherence tomography(OCT). Methods: The study is a cross sectional observational clinical trial in which patients diagnosed with POAG wer...

The altered visual function induced by changes in corneal curvature following filtration surgery is distressing to patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate surgically induced astigmatism following trabeculectomy in comparison with deep sclerectomy. In a prospective interventional comparative study, patients with primary open-angle glaucoma w...
