RESUMO

PURPOSE: To describe the incidence, risk factors, clinical characteristics, and long-term outcomes of a hypertensive phase (HP) after glaucoma drainage device (GDD) implantation. DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study. PARTICIPANTS: Eyes that underwent implantation of their first GDD from January 2010 to October 2020 at a tertiary care center. METHODS: Hypertensive phase was defined as intraocular pressure (IOP) >21 mmHg occurring at 2 consecutive visits in the first 90 days after the date of surgery for Ahmed Glaucoma Valve (AGV) or in the first 90 days after tube opening for Baerveldt Glaucoma Implant (BGI). Generalized estimating equations and Fisher exact tests were used to evaluate risk factors for HP and risk factors for failure of GDD surgery after occurrence of a HP. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Incidence and risk factors for HP. Overall surgical success rates, defined as the absence of failure criteria: IOP >21 mmHg, ≤5 mmHg, or <20% reduction below baseline IOP after 3 months for 2 consecutive visits, with or without adjunctive ocular hypotensive therapy; additional glaucoma surgery; or loss of light perception. RESULTS: Among 419 eyes of 360 patients that underwent GDD implantation, 42 (10.0%) eyes developed HP. Onset of HP was 20.8 ± 10.5 days after AGV and 11.7 ± 20.3 days from the date of tube opening after BGI. Mean IOP during HP was 26.5 ± 3.2 mmHg with peak IOP of 30.0 ± 5.9 mmHg. Median follow-up duration was 21.5 months after onset of HP. Younger age and neovascular glaucoma were significant risk factors for HP occurrence in a multivariable model. Resolution of HP occurred in 32 eyes (76.2%) after a mean duration of 48.0 ± 53.0 days. Additional surgery with a second GDD or cyclophotocoagulation was performed for 12 eyes (28.6%). The overall success rate among eyes with a HP was 52.6% at 2 years, which was significantly lower than that observed among control eyes that did not experience HP (76.3%), P < 0.01. CONCLUSIONS: The incidence of HP was 10.0%. Younger age and neovascular glaucoma were significant risk factors for HP in the multivariable model. The risk of surgical failure after HP is significantly higher compared to eyes that did not experience HP.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Epidemiological studies describe the distribution of glaucoma and its risk factors in the general population. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Epidemiological findings from population-based studies were extrapolated for the situation in Germany, in order to estimate current and future prevalence of glaucoma by using official population statistics for Germany. RESULTS: The prevalence of glaucoma in the adult population above 40 years of age is currently 2.1%, resulting in 980 thousand subjects with glaucoma, plus at least one more million subjects with ocular hypertension (OHT). Two thirds of all glaucoma cases are above 70 years of age. By 2060, the prevalence of glaucoma will increase to 2.8%, due to the aging of the population. CONCLUSIONS: Despite a decrease in the population size, glaucoma will become more prevalent in the future.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: To describe the clinical features of patients diagnosed with uveitic glaucoma (UG) and ocular hypertension secondary to uveitis (OHT-SU). METHODS: A multicentric cross-sectional study using medical records of patients with uveitis between 2013 and 2021. Uveitis and glaucoma specialists examined all patients. Variables were analyzed using the chi-square or Fisher's exact test for categorical variables. Additionally, t test, Mann-Whitney, and Kruskal-Wallis variance analysis were used for continuous variables. Finally, a Kaplan-Meier survival analysis for UG and OHT-SU development over time was done. RESULTS: Of the 660 clinical records reviewed of patients with uveitis, 191 (28.9%) had OHT-SU in at least one visit, and 108 (16.4%) of them developed UG. In all ages, females were more affected than males. Anterior uveitis was the main anatomic localisation, and non-granulomatous, recurrent, and inactive uveitis were the most frequent clinical features. The mean final visual acuity was 0.3 (0.0-1.0) LogMAR. Also, 95.8% of the patients had additional sequelae related to uveitis regardless of UG and OHT-SU. Interestingly, males had earlier affection, with statistical significance in OHT for adults (P = 0.036) and UG for children (P = 0.04). Of all patients, 81.1% received topical hypotensive treatment and 29.8% required a surgical procedure. CONCLUSIONS: UG and OHT-SU are common complications of uveitis in the Colombian population. These sight-threatening conditions were more common and appeared sooner in men at any age. Our results suggest that earlier and more aggressive treatment with topical hypotensive agents could positively influence the visual outcomes and the requirement of surgical procedures.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To determine the incidence and risk factors for primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) and ocular hypertension (OHT) in a multiethnic Asian population. DESIGN: Population-based cohort study. PARTICIPANTS: The Singapore Epidemiology of Eye Diseases study included 10 033 participants in the baseline examination between 2004 and 2011. Of those, 6762 (response rate = 78.8%) participated in the 6-year follow-up visit between 2011 and 2017. METHODS: Standardized examination and investigations were performed, including slit lamp biomicroscopy, intraocular pressure (IOP) measurement, pachymetry, gonioscopy, optic disc examination and static automated perimetry. Glaucoma was defined according to a combination of clinical evaluation, ocular imaging (fundus photo, visual field, and OCT) and criteria given by International Society of Geographical and Epidemiological Ophthalmology. OHT was defined on the basis of elevated IOP over the upper limit of normal; i.e., 20.4 mmHg, 21.5 mmHg, and 22.6 mmHg for the Chinese, Indian, and Malay cohort respectively, without glaucomatous optic disc change. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Incidence of POAG, OHT, and OHT progression. RESULTS: The overall 6-year age-adjusted incidences of POAG and OHT were 1.31% (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.04-1.62) and 0.47% (95% CI, 0.30-0.70). The rate of progression of baseline OHT to POAG at 6 years was 5.32%. Primary open-angle glaucoma incidence was similar (1.37%) in Chinese and Indians and lower (0.80%) in Malays. Malays had higher incidence (0.79%) of OHT than Indians (0.38%) and Chinese (0.37%). Baseline parameters associated with higher risk of POAG were older age (per decade: odds ratio [OR], 1.90; 95% CI, 1.54-2.35; P < 0.001), higher baseline IOP (per mmHg: OR, 1.20; 95% CI, 1.12-1.29; P < 0.001) and longer axial length (per mm: OR, 1.22; 95% CI, 1.07-1.40, P = 0.004). CONCLUSION: Six-year incidence of POAG was 1.31% in a multiethnic Asian population. Older age, higher IOP, and longer axial length were associated with higher risk of POAG. These findings can help in future projections and guide public healthcare policy decisions for screening at-risk individuals.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: To determine the prevalence of POAG and its clinical features in a population aged 40years and over in Bejaia. METHODS: This was a descriptive, cross-sectional survey for analytical purposes in a representative sample from the municipality of Bejaia. The target population consists of residents of the municipality aged 40 and over who were examined in basic health facilities in the municipality of Bejaia, from May 31, 2015 to July 12, 2016. The visual field, OCT, vertical C/D and intraocular pressure (IOP) criteria were used to define whether or not primary open angle glaucoma was present. RESULTS: A total of 1484 people (99 %) participated in the study. The mean age of the study population was 57.97±10.77years, with a median of 56years and sex ratio of 1.07. The prevalence of glaucoma in our study was 5.5 %: POAG 4.6 % (95% CI=3.5-5.7); PACG 0.3 % (95 % CI=0.1, 0.7); secondary glaucoma 0.5 % (95 % CI=0.2-0.7). The prevalence of ocular hypertension was 3.0 % (95% CI=2.2-4.0). The age-adjusted prevalence was 0.8 % between 40 and 49years of age and 6.9% between 60 and 69years of age. The mean age was 66.76±9.31years for men and 67.68±12.10years for women. The mean IOP was 17.53±5.69mm Hg. The mean pachymetry was 518.3±34.3µm in the right eye and 517.4±33.9µm in the left eye. The mean cup/disc ratio was 0.7±0.2 in both eyes. Multivariate analysis of risk factors in our study showed that age and ocular hypertension were significantly associated with the presence of POAG. DISCUSSION: The prevalence of POAG is disparate in relation to the age difference, the method of recruitment and the diagnostic criteria: in Bejaia, it is 4.6 %; in Morocco: Marrakech 2.0 %, Fez 6.4 %; in Tunisia: Bardo 2.7 %, Mahdia 2.4 %. The prevalence of POAG increases exponentially with age without significant gender difference. The inclusion of suspect cases influences the prevalence (Beaver Dam, Namil Study). We found that the prevalence of OHT in our study approximates that of the BMES, but it did not show a significant increase with age. The mean CCT in Bejaia (526.35±34.86 microns) and Fez (522.16±41.45 microns) are comparable. The mean vertical C/D ratio in Bejaia was also comparable to data in the literature. A significant difference was observed in the mean median deviation (MD) between subjects with glaucoma and normal subjects. The retinal nerve fiber layer as well as the mean ganglion cell complex thickness in glaucoma subjects was significantly thinner than in healthy subjects. CONCLUSION: The prevalence of POAG is high, similar to that of people of African descent, but at older ages and among men. The rate of glaucoma in Bejaia rises significantly with age. Glaucoma is a major ocular health problem and will become increasingly important as the population ages.

RESUMO

Purpose: To find out the mean rate of progression (MROP) of visual fields (VF) in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) and ocular hypertension (OHT) using FORUM® Glaucoma Workplace. Methods: Two hundred and one eyes of 105 patients were included in this prospective cohort study. Patients with POAG and OHT were recruited, and VF analysis with 24-2 and or 10-2 was done using SITA standard strategy in Zeiss Humphrey Visual Field Analyzer (HFA). All the previous VFs were identified from FORUM software, and the baseline indices were recorded from the first reliable VF analysis. The present VF analysis was compared to the previous one using FORUM software, and the rate of progression (ROP) in VF was obtained by Guided Progression Analysis. Results: MROP of VF in the POAG group was - 0.085 dB/year, ranging from -2.8 to 2.8 dB/year with a standard deviation (SD) of 0.69. In the OHT group, the MROP of VF was -0.003 dB/year, ranging from - 0.8 to 0.5 dB/year with an SD of 0.27. The MROP of VF in medically treated eyes with POAG was -0.14 dB/year with an SD of 0.61 and in surgically treated eyes was -0.02 dB/year with an SD of 0.78. The overall baseline mean VF index (VFI) was 83.19% and the final mean VFI was 79.80%. There was a statistically significant decrease in the mean VFI value from baseline to the final visit (P-value 0.0005). Conclusion: The mean ROP of VF in the POAG group was -0.085 dB/year and in the OHT group was - 0.003 dB/year.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: To estimate the incidence and assess the risk factors associated with 3 adverse events (AEs) after neodymium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet posterior capsulotomy (Nd:YAG-caps): ocular hypertension (OHT), macular edema (ME), and retinal detachment (RD). DESIGN: Observational cohort study using a nationwide claims database. PARTICIPANTS: Adults who underwent Nd:YAG-caps between 2014 and 2017, with no ocular disease history in the year before. METHODS: Patients who underwent Nd:YAG-caps were identified using data from the French national representative sample and followed up for 12 months postprocedure. The time to AE was assessed using the Kaplan-Meier method. Factors associated with AE were assessed using Cox models. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Neodymium:YAG-caps epidemiology, patients' characteristics, proportion of patients with AE, and hazard ratios (HRs) associated with variables identified as factors associated with AEs. RESULTS: During the study period, 6210 patients received Nd:YAG-caps (7958 procedures). The mean age (± standard deviation) at Nd:YAG-caps was 75.0 (± 10.3) years. The 3-month and 12-month overall AE rates (≥ 1 AE of interest) were 8.6% and 13.3%, respectively. Among patients with ≥ 1 AE of interest, 68.4% of AEs occurred within 3 months post-Nd:YAG-caps. Three-month rates were ≈5% for OHT and ME. Retinal detachment remained ≤ 0.5% over follow-up. Cox models showed that patients with Nd:YAG-caps performed within 1 year after cataract surgery had a higher risk of AEs than those with later Nd:YAG-caps (hazard ratio [HR], 1.314 [1.034-1.669], P = 0.0256), notably ME (HR, 1.500 [1.087-2.070], P = 0.0137). Diabetic patients were more at risk of OHT (HR, 1.233 [1.005-1.513], P = 0.0448) and ME (HR, 1.810 [1.446-2.266], P < 0.0001) than nondiabetic patients. Patients with Nd:YAG-caps performed between 1 and 2 years after cataract surgery were more at risk of OHT than patients with later Nd:YAG-caps (HR, 1.429 [1.185-1.723], P = 0.0002). CONCLUSIONS: According to a national claims database, OHT and ME were the most frequent AEs of interest post-Nd:YAG-caps, mainly observed within 3 months postprocedure, highlighting the need for a close follow-up during this period or a delayed capsulotomy. Diabetes and an early Nd:YAG-caps after cataract surgery were among the main drivers for AE occurrence.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: We aimed to investigate if diabetic retinopathy (DR), glaucoma and/or ocular hypertension (OHT) are prospectively linked, as previous studies have proposed cross-sectional associations, but longitudinal data from larger cohorts are lacking. METHODS: We performed a bidirectional 5 years prospective, registry-based cohort study. We extracted data from national registers, including the Danish Registry of Diabetic Retinopathy, the Danish Civil Registration System, the Danish National Patient Register and the Danish National Prescription Registry. DR level was defined by the highest level of the two eyes. Glaucoma and/or OHT was defined by diagnostic codes (H40*) or at least three redeemed prescriptions of glaucoma medication (S01E*) within 1 year. We included 205 970 persons with diabetes and 1 003 170 age- and gender-matched non-diabetes controls. Exposures were level-specific DR (i) and glaucoma and/or OHT (ii), and outcomes were hazard ratios (HRs) for 5 years incident glaucoma and/or OHT (i) and DR (ii). RESULTS: Persons with diabetes were more likely to develop glaucoma and/or OHT (multivariable adjusted HR 1.11, 95% CI 1.06-1.15), but this did not depend on the level of DR. In persons with diabetes, those with glaucoma and/or OHT were more likely to develop DR (multivariable adjusted HR 1.12, 95% CI 1.03-1.23) within 5 years. CONCLUSION: In a national cohort, diabetes associated with a little higher risk of upcoming glaucoma and/or OHT, and, inversely, the presence of the latter predicted a higher risk of incident DR. Nevertheless, our data do not seem to justify including glaucoma evaluation in the national Danish DR-screening programme.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To examine the difference in incidence of ocular hypertension (OHT) following the introduction of filtered anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) medication in silicone-free syringes. DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study. METHODS: A retrospective review of consecutive treatment-naive patients receiving intravitreal anti-VEGF injections in a group practice was performed. Data from the cohort receiving nonfiltered anti-VEGF in insulin syringes (IS group) was collected from June 2015. Data from the cohort receiving filtered anti-VEGF in silicone-free syringes (SFS group) was collected from June 2019. Follow up data were collected at 1 year. Exclusion criteria included prior anti-VEGF treatment, known glaucoma or diagnosis of glaucoma suspect before anti-VEGF treatment, neovascular glaucoma, steroid use, or vitrectomy during follow-up. Primary outcome was the cumulative incidence of intraocular pressure (IOP) > 21 mmHg and IOP ≥ 30 mm Hg at any follow-up visit. The use of IOP lowering therapy was also recorded. RESULTS: The mean age (71 ± 13 years), mean number of injections (9.6 ± 2.7), and median follow-up time (392 ± 57 days) were similar between groups. The incidence of IOP ≥ 21 mm Hg was 34% (34/100) in the IS group and 15% (15/100) in the SFS group (p = 0.025). The incidence of IOP ≥ 30 mm Hg was 8% (8/100) in the IS group and 0% (0/100) in the SFS group (p =0.004). The incidence of IOP-lowering therapy was 13% in the IS group and 0% in the SFS group (p =0.0002). CONCLUSION: The incidence of OHT and treatment with IOP-lowering therapy significantly decreased after the introduction of filtered anti-VEGF medication and silicone-free syringes.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: Ocular hypertension (OHT) is an important clinical feature of thyroid-associated orbitopathy (TAO).While the prevalence and outcome of OHT in TAO remains unclear. This study investigates this in moderate-severe active TAO. METHODS: Sixty-eight patients with active moderate-severe TAO were recruited, 49 of whom were treated with 12-week GC therapy.The clinical and biochemical parameters were collected.Treatment outcomes were evaluated after GC therapy. RESULTS: The prevalence of OHT was 44.85% in moderate-severe active TAO patients,including 81.97% of mild hypertension, 13.11% of moderate hypertension and 4.92% of severe hypertension. Clinical and biochemical parameters had no significant difference between OHT patients and non-OHT patients,such as age, sex distributions, smoking status, the kind and the duration of thyroid disease,the duration of eye symptoms and the level of FT3,FT4,TSH, TR-Ab, and Tpo-Ab, Tg-Ab(all P > 0.05). After GC therapy,the intraocular pressure(IOP) in OHT eyes decreased significantly (P < 0.05), while IOP in non-OHT eyes remained unchanged (P > 0.05).There was no significant difference in CAS and the effective rate of GC therapy between OHT eyes and non-OHT eyes (P > 0.05). CONCLUSION: In moderate-severe active TAO, the prevalence of OHT was 44.85%, most of which were mild hypertension.OHT was relieved by GC therapy,which had no effect on the efficacy of GC therapy.Our results will enhance physicians' confidence in GC therapy.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Ocular hypertension is a condition with elevated intraocular pressure that needs to be monitored closely to prevent glaucoma and other complications. The study aims to find out the prevalence of ocular hypertension in patients aged more than 40 years. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This is a hospital based cross-sectional study conducted in a community based tertiary hospital of Nepal. RESULTS: Mean age of the patients was 47.53years. 62% of the patients were males and 38% were females. Mean intraocular pressure in the right eye was 15.8 mmHg and mean intraocular pressure in left eye was 16.2 mm Hg. Prevalence of ocular hypertension was 6%. CONCLUSION: All patients more than 40 years of age should undergo detailed ocular examination for early detection and treatment of ocular hypertension.

RESUMO

PRCIS: The analysis of intraocular pressure by age using a mega database showed a consistent age-related intraocular pressure decrease. PURPOSE: To clarify the association between age and intraocular pressure (IOP), the IOP value by age was assessed using a large IOP database. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This cross-sectional study was conducted among 103 health checkup institutions registered to the Japan Society of Ningen Dock, and included participants who underwent annual health checkups between April 2014 and March 2015. The inclusion criteria were as follows: complete data for IOP in eyes, body mass index, waist circumference, blood pressure, hemoglobin A1c, and a self-administered health questionnaire. A total of 655,818 participants were enrolled. The mean age was 51.5±10.5 years (range, 20-96 y), and 40.1% were women. IOP was measured using a noncontact tonometer. Multiple linear regression analysis was conducted to explore factors associated with IOP, including age, and analyses stratified by age group: <40, 40-69, and ≥70 years. RESULTS: A consistent negative association between IOP and age [ß=-0.353 (95% confidence interval: -0.360--0.346)] was observed. In the age groups of <40 and ≥70 years, the age-related IOP decline was more pronounced [ß=-0.502 (95% CI: -0.566 to -0.439); ß=-0.674 (95% CI: -0.753 to -0.595)], with it being 14.21±2.95 and 11.18±2.52 mm Hg in the 20-24 and 90-96 year age groups, respectively. The middle-aged (aged 40-69 y) population showed gradual decline [ß=-0.313 (95% CI: -0.323 to -0.303)]. CONCLUSION: Age was strongly and negatively associated with IOP. The magnitude of IOP decline across lifespans was ∼3 mmHg. Age-related decreases in IOP were nonlinear and phasic.

PURPOSE: To compare the incidence, risk factors, treatment, and outcomes associated with intravitreal triamcinolone-acetonide (TA) and dexamethasone-implant (Dex)-induced ocular hypertension (OHT). METHODS: This retrospective study reviewed 1,549 TA and Dex administrations in 1,075 eyes of 897 patients. Intraocular pressure (IOP) values were monitored for a period of 6 months following intravitreal injection(s) and patients were categorized as steroid-responders (SR): IOP≥21 mm Hg, and steroid non-responders (NR): IOP≤20 mm Hg. Glaucoma patients, glaucoma suspects, uveitis, trauma, and less than 1 month of IOP follow-up cases were excluded from the study. The incidence of IOP rise, time and magnitude of IOP rise, and its management procedures were studied. Ocular and systemic associations with OHT incidence were investigated. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS.23 and p < 0.05 was considered significant. RESULT: Twenty-eight percent of TA and 17% of Dex administered eyes developed OHT. Male subjects and elderly people (greater than 40 years of age) are at higher risk for OHT following steroid treatment. A high percentage of IOP rise was observed on day 1 (41%) for TA-SR, and after 1 month (50%) for Dex-SR. IOP rise was found to be more severe (>30 mm Hg) for TA-SR compared to Dex-SR (p = 0.006). 6% TA-SR required trabeculectomy with medically uncontrollable IOP. Myopia is a risk factor for secondary OHT, whereas diabetes mellitus and hypercholesterolemia are protective of it. CONCLUSION: Twenty-eight percent of TA and 17% of Dex administrations developed OHT. Early and severe IOP rises were more common in TA than among Dex administrations. Myopia is a risk for Dex-OHT.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: To explore the national trend in prescriptions for glaucoma and ocular hypertension (OHT) in France between 2014 and 2019. METHODS: This is a retrospective descriptive study based on prescription data from the Primary Health Insurance Fund databases. All patients with a social security number who received one or more glaucoma/OHT prescriptions between 2014 and 2019 were identified. Figures for 2020 are not yet available as of the date of submission of this article. Demographic characteristics from Common Classification of Medical Acts information and from National Institute of Statistics and Economic Studies were analyzed. The data analysis was carried out using the R version 3.6.2.software from the available databases of the Information Systems Medicalization Program. RESULTS: Our results suggest an increase in the number of patients treated with glaucoma drugs, which cannot be explained simply by demographic growth. There is also a change in drug prescription habits, both in the class of medication used and in the use of fixed combinations. We also note the increasing use of SLT (Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty), a relatively newer tool in the therapeutic arsenal. Over the same time period, demographic characteristics remained stable; age and sex distribution for each year remained constant. In addition, the phenomenon of poor therapeutic compliance, which we attempted to explore, remained stable. DISCUSSION: This study updates the French epidemiologic data available on prescriptions for glaucoma and ocular hypertension, a true public health concern. CONCLUSION: On the one hand, prescribing practices have evolved over the study period. On the other hand, the number of patients treated has increased faster than the growth of the French population over the same period. These findings are consistent with trends observed in previous studies.

RESUMO

PRCIS: For patients with glaucoma, metabolic syndrome was associated with higher intraocular pressure and greater central corneal thickness. Patients with metabolic syndrome were more likely to have ocular hypertension. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to determine whether glaucomatous optic neuropathy, also known as glaucoma, and ocular hypertension are more likely to occur in patients with metabolic syndrome. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Patients in Olmsted County, MN, were identified as having metabolic syndrome based on diagnosis codes, laboratory values, and/or medication use to meet 3 or more of the 5 standard criteria for diagnosing metabolic syndrome: systemic hypertension, hyperglycemia, hypertriglyceridemia, reduced high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and central adiposity defined by increased body mass index. Patients with glaucoma, including primary open angle, low tension, pigment dispersion, and pseudoexfoliation, were identified using diagnostic codes. The charts of patients with glaucoma were individually reviewed to collect visual acuity, intraocular pressure, cup to disc ratio, central corneal thickness, visual field mean deviation, retinal nerve fiber layer thickness, and treatment of intraocular pressure. Patients with ocular hypertension were separately identified and similarly evaluated. RESULTS: For patients with glaucoma, those with metabolic syndrome had higher intraocular pressure and greater central corneal thickness compared with those without metabolic syndrome. After adjustment for central corneal thickness, there was no longer a significant difference in intraocular pressure between groups. Metabolic syndrome was also associated with the diagnosis of ocular hypertension, and although central corneal thickness trended higher in patients with metabolic syndrome, it did not attain statistical significance. CONCLUSION: In Olmsted County, though metabolic syndrome was associated with ocular hypertension and higher intraocular pressure in patients with glaucoma, the results were likely related to a thicker central corneal in this patient population.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: Cataract and glaucoma are among the leading causes of blindness worldwide in older people, and they are often concomitant. To assess topical intraocular (IOP)-lowering agents delivery changes after cataract extraction. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Longitudinal matched exposed-unexposed study from the French national healthcare database from January 1, 2005 to January 1, 2017. We compared individuals using topical IOP-lowering agents who underwent bilateral cataract extraction with individuals matched on IOP-lowering agents load, age, and sex who did not undergo cataract extraction. IOP-lowering agents number of drops was assessed 12 months before the first cataract extraction and compared with number of drops 12 months after the second cataract extraction. RESULTS: About 1194 individuals treated with IOP-lowering agents were included, 597 exposed to bilateral cataract extraction and 597 unexposed to any surgery (total mean age 74.8 ± 8.3 years; 69.0% women). Mean IOP-lowering agents delivery at baseline was 1.4 daily drops in both groups. The mean number of drops decreased greater in the exposed than unexposed group (-25.5% vs -3.5%; p < 0.0001). Overall, 159 (26.6%) and 48 (8.0%) individuals in the exposed and unexposed groups interrupted medication (p < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS: A decrease of around one quarter of IOP-lowering agents delivery was observed after cataract extraction in the present real-life study with a longstanding interruption observed in one quarter of patients. Phacoemulsification as a standalone procedure reduces IOP-lowering agents delivery in ocular hypertension and glaucoma.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: to evaluate the effect of dexamethasone biodegradable implant (DEX-I), on intraocular pressure (IOP), to determine the incidence of secondary ocular hypertension (OHT) and to analyze the IOP changes as per the treatment indication in Zambian cohort. METHODS: retrospective consecutive case series of patients receiving one DEX-I between January 2016 and September 2018 with a minimum follow-up of four months in a tertiary care centre in Zambia. The IOP was recorded before the injection and at 1st week, 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th month after the injection. Ocular hypertension was defined as IOP ≥ 21 mmHg or an increase of ≥ 10 mmHg from baseline. RESULTS: the effects of 122 injections given to ninety - nine patients (65 male: 65%; mean age 57.3) were included. The main indications for treatment were diabetic macular edema (DME, 52%), retinal vein occlusion (18%), post-surgical macular edema (18%) and non-infectious posterior uveitis (10%). Mean IOP before the injection was was 14.7mmHg and at 1st week, 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th months after the injection it was 14.4 (p=0.08), 16.1 (p=0.01), 17.5 (p<0.001), 15.7 (p=0.006) and 14.9 (p=0.06) mmHg, respectively. The incidence of secondary OHT was 30.32% in this cohort. Peak incidence of OHT was between 1 - 2 months, with majority of cases in DME group (75%) and 43% diabetic eyes followed by 23% non-infectious posterior uveitis cases developing OHT post injection. OHT was well managed with anti-glaucoma medications only. CONCLUSION: DEX-I showed a good pressure tolerance in this cohort. Secondary ocular hypertension developed in one-third of patients receiving injection which was transient and successfully managed with topical anti-glaucoma medications only. Diabetic eyes are more prone to develop ocular hypertension and therefore needs close monitoring following injection.
