Moving the Goal Posts: Definitions of Success after Glaucoma Surgery and Their Effect on Reported Outcome
Alan P Rotchford,Anthony J King +1 more
66
TL;DR: There were nearly as many different definitions of success after glaucoma surgery as publications on the subject over a recent 5-year period, making interpretation of and comparison between published results extremely difficult.

European Glaucoma Society Terminology and Guidelines for Glaucoma, 4th Edition - Chapter 3: Treatment principles and optionsSupported by the EGS Foundation: Part 1: Foreword; Introduction; Glossary; Chapter 3 Treatment principles and options
Tavistock Square,London,Wc H +2 more
TL;DR: The goal of glaucoma treatment is to maintain the patient’s visual function and related quality of life, and to assess the likely Rate of Progression (RoP) is an important part of patient management.
Outcomes and Bleb-Related Complications of Trabeculectomy
Henry D. Jampel,Jason F. Solus,Patricia A. Tracey,Donna Gilbert,Tara L. Loyd,Joan L. Jefferys,Harry A. Quigley +6 more
TL;DR: Trabeculectomy surgery performed by 2 experienced glaucoma specialists achieved target IOP at 4 years in 70% of those operated and was associated with progressive cataract and small risks of bleb-related complications.

Advances in glaucoma treatment and management: surgery.
TL;DR: Some of the most recent advances in incisional glaucoma surgery are reviewed, including the creation of a partial-thickness scleral flap over a sclerectomy into the anterior chamber and several new surgeries have been developed with the goal of improving on or replacing the trabeculectomy.

Updates on the Diagnosis and Management of Glaucoma
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors proposed a minimally invasive glaucoma surgery to reduce the intraocular pressure (IOP), a crucial determinant of disease progression, remains the only modifiable risk factor; thus, all current treatments (medications, lasers, and operations) aim to reduce IOP.

Surgical management of glaucoma: a review.
William H. Morgan,Dao-Yi Yu +1 more
TL;DR: This review will briefly describe the history of surgical glaucoma treatment and concentrate on the current surgical strategies for managing glau coma with an emphasis on drainage surgery, as well as discussing the preliminary results of some newer forms of drainage surgery.

The Ocular Hypertension Treatment Study: A Randomized Trial Determines That Topical Ocular Hypotensive Medication Delays or Prevents the Onset of Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma
Michael A. Kass,Dale K. Heuer,Eve J. Higginbotham,Chris A. Johnson,John L. Keltner,J. Philip Miller,Richard K. Parrish,M. Roy Wilson,Mae O. Gordon +8 more
TL;DR: Topical ocular hypotensive medication was effective in delaying or preventing the onset of POAG in individuals with elevated IOP, and clinicians should consider initiating treatment for individuals with ocular hypertension who are at moderate or high risk for developing POAG.

TL;DR: For RCTs to ultimately benefit patients, the published report should be of the highest possible standard and should provide the reader with the ability to make informed judgments regarding the internal and external validity of the trial.

The advanced glaucoma intervention study (AGIS): 7. the relationship between control of intraocular pressure and visual field deterioration
Fred Ederer,Ma,Douglas E. Gaasterland,E. Kenneth Sullivan,Allen D. Beck,Bruce E. Prum,Marshall N. Cyrlin,Howard S. Weiss +7 more
TL;DR: In both analyses low intraocular pressure is associated with reduced progression of visual field defect, supporting evidence from earlier studies of a protective role for low intracular pressure in visual field deterioration.

Factors for glaucoma progression and the effect of treatment: the early manifest glaucoma trial.
TL;DR: Patients treated in the EMGT had half of the progression risk of control patients, including the effect of EMGT treatment, and the magnitude of initial IOP reduction was a major factor influencing outcome.
