PURPOSE. To study the changes in structural and hemodynamic parameters of the retina and foveolar avascular zone (FAZ) over time in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) and diabetes mellitus (DM) observed in long-term follow-up.MATERIALS AND METHODS. The study included 258 patients (258 eyes) divided into five groups: group 1 — 58 patients (58 eyes) with stage I POAG and DM; group 2 — 50 patients (50 eyes) with stage I POAG; group 3 — 50 patients (50 eyes) with stage III POAG and DM; group 4 — 50 patients (50 eyes) with stage III POAG; group 5 — 50 patients (50 eyes) with DM. Patients underwent comprehensive ophthalmological examination, spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT), optical coherence tomo-graphy angiography (OCT-A) of the macular region. The follow-up lasted 24 months.RESULTS. Analysis of the initial parameters in groups of patients with comorbidities showed the lowest values compared to controls, which were progressively worsening. MD in the group with DM + stage I POAG had reliably decreased after 12 months (by 5.05%), after 24 months by 12.12% (p≤0.05). The speed of GCL+IPL loss in groups 1 and 3 during the first year of observation was almost equal for initial and advanced glaucoma — 1.35 (-2.03%) and 1.32 (-2.36%) µm/year, but in group 3 the loss had doubled after two years (2.48 (-4.44%) and 1.41 (2.12%) µm/year). Deterioration of hymodynamic parameters in the macular region in groups 1 and 3 was noted primarily in the inner sectors (whole image vessel density in parafovea (PF wiVD) -0.79% during the first, and -2.57% during the second year in initial glaucoma, -0.6% and -1.24% in advanced, whole image vessel density in parafovea (PF wiVD) -0.2% and -1.22%, -0.66% and -1.56%, respectively). Parameters of FAZ had changed significantly after 2 years in patients with stage I POAG and DM: its area size had increased by 10.2%, perimeter by 4.49%, circularity index had decreased by 3.17%.CONCLUSION. Comorbidity of POAG and DM is accompanied by development and quick progression of significant changes in structural and hemodynamic parameters of the retina as observed by this long-term follow-up.

AIM: To describe the safety and efficacy of patterned laser trabeculoplasty (PLT) as an adjunctive treatment in primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) and ocular hypertension (OHT) after 18-month follow-up in Hispanic population. METHODS: A single-center, retrospective study was conducted. All patients with OHT or POAG undergoing PLT from June 2016 to August 2016 were included in the study. Investigated parameters were intraocular pressure (IOP), the number of IOP-lowering medications, best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), laser parameters and postoperative adverse events. Primary efficacy outcome measures were the proportion of eyes achieving an IOP reduction ≥20% at 18mo versus baseline medicated IOP or a reduction in the number of medications while maintaining IOP values. RESULTS: From 40 PLT-treated eyes (mean baseline IOP 20.3±1.7 mm Hg), 24 patients were analyzed (age 63.4±7.3y). The mean IOP reductions from baseline across visits (months 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, and 18) ranged from 14.1% to 20.8%. Success rate after 18-month follow-up was 61.7% with a mean IOP of 16±3.2 mm Hg (P<0.001). The number of glaucoma IOP-lowering medications per eye (preoperative 2.1±1.1 and postoperative 2.3±1.1, P=0.86) and the mean BCVA (preoperative 0.10±0.22 and postoperative 0.11±0.22 logMAR, P=0.42) remained stable. Adverse events comprised transitory IOP spikes in 4 eyes (10%) and peripheral anterior synechiae in 7 eyes (17.5%). CONCLUSION: Mid-term results of PLT show that this procedure may be an efficacious and safe technique to approach medically uncontrolled OHT or POAG patients.

The goal of our work was to study the safety profile and effectiveness of a domestically manufactured shunting device for the treatment of advanced stage primary open-angle glaucoma. This article describes the surgical technique of “Anti-Glaucoma Implant A3” implantation, as well as long term follow-up results obtained from 19 patients (20 eyes). Materials and methods. The devices were implanted in 19 patients (20 eyes) with advanced stage primary open-angle glaucoma. The diagnosis was made based on collected medical history, results of objective and instrumental test findings. All patients included in the study underwent a standard ophthalmologic examination, including: automatic refractometry, best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) assessment, automated static perimetry, biomicroscopy of the anterior segment, indirect ophthalmoscopy with an aspheric lens, gonioscopy. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) was used to assess retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness. Conclusion. Intraocular pressure (IOP) lowering surgical procedures using an anti-glaucoma shunting device are non-inferior by their effectiveness to trabeculectomy, and have lower complication rate.

Purpose. To report the long-term follow-up results in patients with cataract and primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) randomly assigned to cataract surgery combined with micro-bypass stent implantation or phacoemulsification alone.Methods. 36 subjects with cataract and POAG were randomized in a 1 : 2 ratio to either iStent implantation and cataract surgery (combined group) or cataract surgery alone (control group). 24 subjects agreed to be evaluated again 48 months after surgery. Patients returned one month later for unmedicated washout assessment.Results. At the long-term follow-up visit we reported a mean IOP of 15,9 ± 2,3 mmHg in the iStent group and 17 ± 2,5 mmHg in the control group (p=NS). After washout, a 14,2% between group difference in favour of the combined group was statistically significant (p=0,02) for mean IOP reduction. A significant reduction in the mean number of medications was observed in both groups compared to baseline values (p=0,005in the combined group andp=0,01in the control group).Conclusion. Patients in the combined group maintained low IOP levels after long-term follow-up. Cataract surgery alone showed a loss of efficacy in controlling IOP over time. Both treatments reduced the number of ocular hypotensive medications prescribed. This trial is registered with:NCT00847158.
