Influence of the individual characteristics of the patient and the biometric parameters of the eye on the difference between the indicators of point tonometry and tonometry according to Maklakov

Офтальмохирургия, 2022
Relevance. The main modifiable risk factor for the development and progression of glaucoma is intraocular pressure (IOP). For over two hundred years, there has been a search for a method for determining the level of IOP, which took into account the ...

Incidence, risk factors, and outcomes of numerical hypotony and choroidal effusion following PRESERFLO MicroShunt implantation

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To evaluate the incidence, outcomes, and risk factors of numerical hypotony (NH) and choroidal effusion (CE) following standalone PRESERFLO MicroShunt (PMS) implantation. Methods Primary open‐angle glaucoma (POAG) and pseudoexfoliative glaucoma (PXG) patients with uni‐ or bilateral surgery at a tertiary university hospital were ...
