Effects of frequency-doubled Nd : YAG laser trabeculoplasty on diurnal intraocular pressure variations in primary open-angle glaucoma

In order to investigate the effects of laser trabeculoplasty (LT) on diurnal intraocular pressure (IOP) variations in 36 eyes of 30 cases with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) in which medical treatment was terminated, the IOP curves, recorded 24 h before as well as 24 h and 72 weeks after LT were compared. Twelve weeks after LT, significant IOP decreases were observed: 36.42% in the mean IOP, 29.77% in the mean peak IOP and 50.04% in the mean pressure range, Li might therefore have beneficial effects on the diurnal IOP variations in cases with POAG

Fungal keratitis after nonpenetrating glaucoma surgery

Purpose. The purpose was to report a case of fungal keratitis that occurred following viscocanalostomy. Methods. A 63-year-old man who underwent viscocanalostomy in his left eye presented with pain, redness, watering. and a decrease in visual acuity. Slit lamp examination showed teardrop-like stromal infiltration of the superior cornea. Corneal and conjunctival scrapings were obtained and a corneal biopsy was performed. Results. Microscopic examination of smears demonstrated no bacteria and fungi. Corneal biopsy revealed dichotomously branching, septate hyphae suggestive of Aspergillus species. Culture identified no microorganism. The patient responded to amphotericin B treatment and the corneal infiltration resolved. leaving a plaquelike corneal scar, Conclusion. Fungal keratitis may occur after viscocanalostomy. but prompt diagnosis and treatment can preserve the eye
