Ophthopedia Update:Consequences of Clot Formation and Hyphema Post-internal Trabeculotomy for Glaucoma: Precis: Clot formation and hyphema following internal trabeculotomy represent distinct clinical entities. The eyes with clot formation exhibited a more pronounced postsurgical intraocular pressure spike, longer residual intracameral bleeding, and a higher risk of reoperation. Purpose: To investigate the consequences of clot formation and hyphema in the anterior chamber after internal trabeculotomy. Methods: In this retrospective interventional comparative study, we investigated the surgical outcomes of internal trabeculotomy in 142 eyes of 142 patients at Sensho-kai Eye Institute. Results: Concurrent clot formation and L≥2 hyphema (height of hyphema ≥1 mm) was observed in 22 eyes. In these cases, the post-surgical IOP was 29.3 mmHg at 1 week, significantly higher than the 16.1 mmHg in eyes that had L≥2 hyphema but without clot formation (P=0.0002). However, the 1-week post-surgical IOP in L≥2 hyphema and clot (-) eyes, which measured 16.1 mmHg was not significantly greater than that in L #Glaucoma #Ophthalmology #Ophthotwitter

🎙In this latest episode of IMPACT, I review the results of NOTION-2 trial, where a very hotly debated clinical question is tackled: Is TAVI as good as surgery in, young low-risk patients with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis? The results were surprising, to put it mildly. Please feel free to tune in! https://lnkd.in/ddjpYZU5

Ophthopedia Update:Frequency of Agreement Between Structural and Functional Glaucoma Testing: A Longitudinal Study of 3D OCT and Current Clinical Tests: Detecting glaucoma progression is the cornerstone of glaucoma management. Classic teaching suggests that glaucoma tests of structure and function should correlate and even progress at the same time, however, the literature suggests that this is not always the case.1 For example, the Ocular Hypertension Treatment Study (OHTS) has shown us that in pre-perimetric glaucoma, structural and functional tests do not always progress at the same time, because about half of newly diagnosed open-angle glaucoma patients can display disc photo progression while maintaining normal visual fields. #Ophthalmology #Ophthotwitter #Scicomm
