Bleb grading by photographs versus bleb grading by slit‐lamp examination
2019
Purpose Using a bleb-grading system clinically facilitates long-term follow-up of patients with previous glaucoma surgery. Clinical evaluation of these patients can be challenging for untrained ophthalmologists. Morphological bleb configuration might influence planning of follow-up visits in glaucoma patients due to different and individual prognosis after trabeculectomy. In this study, we compared the MaBAGS (Mainz Bleb Appearance Grading System), a classification system for filtering blebs with other classification systems (MBGS/Moorfields Bleb Grading System, IBAGS/Indiana Bleb Appearance Grading Scale) in reference to usability and reliability and compare it to grading by bleb photograp…
The Size of Subconjunctival Preparation Does Not Influence the Outcome of Trabeculectomy With Mitomycin C
2014
PURPOSE To compare the outcome of fornix-based trabeculectomy with mitomycin C (MMC) using 2 different sizes of subconjunctival preparation (36 mm² compared with 72 mm²). METHODS Prospective, randomized interventional case series. STUDY POPULATION Patients 18 to 85 years of age with open-angle glaucoma and progressive visual field defects under maximum tolerated medical therapy were randomized to undergo initial fornix-based trabeculectomy with MMC (0.2 mg/mL for 5 min) with subconjunctival preparation of 6×6 mm (group A) or 8×9 mm (group B). Main outcome parameters were: intraocular pressure (IOP), best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), number of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) injections, and laser s…
Sulcus implantation of a single-piece foldable acrylic intraocular lens after posterior capsular rupture in cataract surgery.
2012
Purpose. To evaluate the safety of a foldable acrylic single-piece intraocular lens (IOL) in cases of complicated cataract surgery and sulcus implantation. The setting was University and private anterior segment surgery practices. Methods. In this observational case series study, 13 eyes of 13 patients were included after complicated phacoemulsification with extensive posterior capsule rupture with or without vitreous loss. A foldable acrylic single-piece IOL (Rayner Superflex 620H; Rayner Intraocular Lenses Limited, Hove, East Sussex, UK) was implanted in the ciliary sulcus in each eye. Postoperative follow-up included best-corrected visual acuity, anterior segment biomicroscopy, IOL centr…
