Implantation of trabecular micro-bypass stent using a novel “landing strip” technique [PDF]
AIM: To describe a novel technique of creating a landing strip within the trabecular meshwork to guide trabecular micro-bypass stent (iStent) implantation in patients who underwent phacoemulsification.

Mispositioned Hydrus Microstents: A Case Series Imaged with NIDEK GS‐1 Gonioscope
Introduction. The Hydrus microstent has become a common procedure in glaucoma surgery intended to improve outcomes of cataract surgery to lower intraocular pressure. Despite proper placement, this device can subsequently be noted to not be in the proper position. In this case series, we report mispositioned Hydrus microstents in five different patients

Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery Procedure in the Human Eye. A Fluid Structure Interaction Study. [PDF]
The implantation of a microstent for glaucoma surgery has been successfully simulated for the first time. A Fluid‐Structure Interaction (FSI) simulation is introduced to model aqueous humor flow dynamics post‐surgery, enabling a detailed analysis of the microstent's interaction with ocular tissues and fluids.

Standalone Implantation of 2–3 Trabecular Micro-Bypass Stents (iStent inject ± iStent) as an Alternative to Trabeculectomy for Moderate-to-Severe Glaucoma [PDF]
This retrospective consecutive study compared standalone implantation of multiple (2-3) trabecular micro-bypass stents (iStent inject ± iStent) (Multi-Stent group) vs trabeculectomy + mitomycin C (Trab group) in moderate to severe open-angle glaucoma (OAG).Eligible patients underwent Multi-Stent or Trab surgery from 2018 to 2020 and had at least 3 ...
