Methods: the study included 50 consecutive patients (50 eyes) who underwent trabeculectomy without intraoperative antimetabolites, and who were not compensat-展开更多
Purpose: to evaluate the influence of cataract surgery and the influence of intraocular lens (IOL) material implanted on retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL),as measured by scanning laser po-larimetry (SLP).

Methods: Seventhy eyes of 70 consecutive patients (34 male and 36 female, mean age 73.2±6.31) operated on by phacoemulsification with IOL insertion, were examined展开更多
Purpose: to evaluate the efficacy and safety of bimatoprost as alternative to filtration surgery in patients with uncontrolled glaucoma on maximal tolerable medical therapy (MTMT). Methods: 83 consecutive patients (83...Purpose: to evaluate the efficacy and safety of bimatoprost as alternative to filtration surgery in patients with uncontrolled glaucoma on maximal tolerable medical therapy (MTMT). Methods: 83 consecutive patients (83 eyes), recruited from the waiting lists for glaucoma surgery of 8 ophthalmic centers. All the patients were scheduled for surgery because of inefficacy of the MTMT, and/or a progressive deterioration of the visual field.展开更多
