Glaucoma is defined as progressive optic neuropathy, based on visual field loss and/ or optic disc findings, is more likely to be associated with elevated intraocular pressure (IOP), although IOP is not the only risk factor for glaucomatous optic nerve damage. The complex physiology involved in aqueous humor formation and its maintenance indicates its dependence on other systemic, physical, physiological and environmental factors, thus effects IOP. The factors studied were age, gender, systemic blood pressure (BP) and body mass index (BMI). Material and method: A cross sectional hospitalbased study was conducted where 800 adults of varying demographic profiles were included with their written and informed consent taken. A detailed history from all the patients including signs and symptoms of glaucoma was taken, demographic and anthropometric details noted. Ocular examination included visual acuity by Snellen’s drum, refraction, intraocular pressure (IOP) by Goldman’s applanation tonometer, gonioscopy using Zeiss fourmirror lens, visual field changes seen by Humphrey field analyzer (HFA) using 30-2 program (version 40), slit-lamp examination, fundus evaluation by both direct and indirect ophthalmoscopy, and 90D lens. The statistical analysis was done using SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) Version 15.0 statistical Analysis Software. The values were represented in Number (%) and Mean ± SD. Results: Mean age of patients was 57.21 ± 9.81 years. With increasing age proportion of those with IOP up to 20 mmHg showed a significant incremental trend. It was observed that mean age of subjects having 20-24 mmHg IOP was minimum (54.17 ± 9.26 years) followed by 16 20 mmHg (56.77 ± 9.61 years), 12 16 mmHg (58.50 ± 9.73 years), > 24 mmHg (60.20 ± 10.92 years) and < 12 mmHg (61.56 ± 7.54 years). Statistically, this difference was significant (p < 0.001). There was a weak and inverse significant correlation between age and IOP (r =-0.075; p = 0.003). Majority of subjects were females (50.5%). Proportion of those having IOP in ≤ 16 mm range was higher among males (45.7%) as compared to that in females (35.7%). Statistically, this difference was significant (p < 0.001). A weak positive and significant correlation was observed between IOP and BMI. Statistically, the difference in BMI of subjects in different IOP categories was significant (p < 0.001). Difference in mean IOP of normotensive (16.95 ± 3.35 mmHg) and hypertensives (17.11 ± 3.53 mmHg) was not found to be statistically significant. Mean SBP and DBP of subjects with IOP < 12 mmHg, 20 24 mmHg and > 24 mmHg were found to be significantly higher as compared to those with IOP 16 20 mmHg and 20 24 mmHg. Conclusion: The present study shows the association between age, gender, BMI and blood pressure, depicting the multivariable of IOP.

Design: Cross sectional survey of glaucoma specialists in the UK. Subjects, Participants and/or Controls: Glaucoma specialists’ members of the UK & Eire Glaucoma Society (UKEGS). Methods, Intervention or Testing: A 32 question online survey using a survey monkey web link was sent to the UKEGS members. All non-responders and partial responders were sent a reminder to complete the survey. Main Outcome Measures: Responses relating to the surgical & non-surgical aspects of trabeculectomy surgery. Results: The response rate was 67.6% (142/210) and the vast majority of the respondents (88%) were glaucoma consultants. Eighty percent of the respondents performed > 10 trabeculectomies per year and 70% performed primary trabeculectomy, majority of which (> 2/3) only did this rarely & in cases of late presentation. Progressive visual field loss was the most common indication for trabeculectomy. Majority (48.39%) use sub-tenon’s block without digital massage/ weight/Honan’s balloon. About 89% used antimetabolites of which 99% used Mitomycin C (MMC) and the majority (60%) use this just after conjunctival peritomy. Most (80%) use 0.2 mg/ml of MMC and 58% use this for 3 minutes. Majority (57%) used their own self modified Moorfield’s safe surgery technique & 88% perform a PI during trabeculectomy whereas 12% don’t (in pseudophakes, myopic and where patients are on anticoagulation). Most (56%) use an AC maintainer (1/3 of them always). Only 29% performed phaco trab’ regularly (2/3rd used different sites), 44% never. Conclusion: This survey highlights a varied spectrum in the practice of trabeculectomy. This may reflect some paucity of good evidence to guide uniformity in the various aspects of trabeculectomy. Introduction Glaucoma is the second leading cause of blindness worldwide [1] and the most widely used surgical procedure for glaucoma is trabeculectomy, which creates a guarded fistula between the anterior chamber and the sub-conjunctival space [2]. Although the history of surgical management of glaucoma dates to 1856, when Von Graefe introduced iridectomy as a treatment for acute glaucoma; the history of trabeculectomy is relatively short [3-5]. After the description of trabeculectomy in 1961 by Sugar [6] and by a Greek ophthalmologist Koryllos [7] as guarded penetrating filtration procedure in 1967 and later on works by Cairns, an ophthalmologist in Cambridge, lead to the introduction of the modern Trabeculectomy procedure which he published in 1968 [5]. The term trabeculectomy itself is a misnomer as the trabecular meshwork is not necessarily excised during the procedure. The procedure involves excision of the cornea along with sclera to create a transcleral fistula [8]. As trabeculectomy is the mainstay of surgical treatment of glaucoma; there has been many a refinement and modification of this drainage procedure since ","PeriodicalId":91712,"journal":{"name":"International journal of ophthalmology and clinical research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42958332","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods: The authors report 79-year-old women with PEHR who had persistent treatment resistance to Ranibizumab, with rapid improvements once switched to Aflibercept. Baseline visual acuity, subjective vision and measurements of anatomical disease were taken using macular optical coherence tomography, wide-field colour, fluorescein and indocyanine-green angiography images. Post-intravitreal injection response was measured using visual acuity, subjective vision and anatomical macular optical coherence tomography findings. Results: Improvements in visual acuity, subjective vision and anatomical resolution of intra-retinal fluid, cysts and retinal thickness were observed by the first Aflibercept injection.
