Trabecular Meshwork

Glaucoma is about many things, but most relate to a tiny piece of tissue called the trabecular meshwork, the exit filter for aqueous humor leaving the eye.

SAN FRANCISCO — In this Healio Video Perspective from Eyecelerator@AAO, Richard A. Lewis, MD, of ViaLase discusses femtosecond laser image-guided high-precision trabeculotomy for the treatment of glaucoma.

NEW ORLEANS — The combination of a custom gonioscopy lens and a commercially available OCT allowed researchers to visualize the iridocorneal angle, according to research presented at Academy ’23.

In this exclusive surgical video for Healio/OSN, I. Paul Singh, MD, demonstrates accessing the collector channels using the KDB Glide, a device for advanced excisional goniotomy.

Two IOP reduction methods from Glaukos showed favorable results and safety profiles in recent trials, according to company press releases.

An automated direct transscleral selective laser trabeculoplasty device demonstrated safety and efficacy in a first-in-human study, Michal Belkin, MD, said in a presentation at the virtual American Academy of Ophthalmology annual meeting.

Patients with glaucoma treated with the Omni surgical system in the GEMINI study experienced a statistically significant reduction in both IOP and IOP-lowering medications.

Both iStent implantation and Kahook Dual Blade goniotomy are effective in combination with cataract surgery to reduce IOP in patients with open-angle glaucoma, according to a study.

Presenting glaucoma patients with a minimally invasive approach to lower their IOP with a bleb-forming MIGS procedure can be an appropriate alternative to traditional trabeculectomy or tube surgery.

WASHINGTON — Patients with advanced open-angle glaucoma experienced a sustained IOP and medication reduction after undergoing cyclophotocoagulation combined with trabecular meshwork bypass MIGS, according to the co-author of a poster here.
