Similar Performance of Trabectome and Ahmed Glaucoma Devices in a Propensity Score-matched Comparison [PDF]

, 2018
Purpose: To apply propensity score matching to Ahmed glaucoma drainage implants (AGI) to trabectome-mediated ab interno trabeculectomy (AIT). Recent data suggest that AIT can produce results similar to AGI traditionally reserved for more severe glaucoma.

In vivo biocompatibility assessment of (PTFE–PVDF–PP) terpolymer-based membrane with potential application for glaucoma treatment [PDF]

, 2010
The aim of the work was to evaluate the in vivo biological behaviour of polymeric membrane materials for glaucoma implants. The base material was biostable synthetic terpolymer (PTFE-PVDF-PP) with proved biocompability (PN-EN ISO 10993).

Spontaneous disconnection of glaucoma tube shunt extenders. [PDF]

, 2010
Glaucoma drainage implants are frequently used in children with severe forms of glaucoma, and tube extenders are sometimes required to compensate for ocular growth or when the intraocular portion of the tube is thought to be too short.

A model for designing intraocular pressure-regulating glaucoma implants.

PLoS ONE, 2022
Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that damage the optic nerve, the health of which is vital for vision. The key risk factor for the development and progression of this disease is increased intraocular pressure (IOP).

Wireless Intraocular Pressure Sensing Using Microfabricated Minimally Invasive Flexible-Coiled LC Sensor Implant [PDF]

, 2010
This paper presents an implant-based wireless pressure sensing paradigm for long-range continuous intraocular pressure (IOP) monitoring of glaucoma patients. An implantable parylene-based pressure sensor has been developed, featuring an electrical LC-

Staging concept for aging management: Definition, mechanism, and coping strategies

VIEW, EarlyView.
We divided the overall aging stage into “pre‐aging”, “aging compensation”, and “aging disability”. For each stage, we delineate the clinical presentations, biological phenomena, theoretical underpinnings, and key management priorities. Abstract Aging, as a gradual and largely irreversible biological process, characterized by declining organismal ...

Modified Schocket implant for refractory glaucoma: long-term results [PDF]

, 2000
Purpose: To analyze long-term results of modified Schocket implant. Methods: The records of 45 patients (45 surgeries) with at least one year follow-up who received a modified Schocket implant were analyzed. Comparisons were made regarding success rates (
