Corneal biomechanics and glaucoma beyond the bidirectional impact of intraocular pressure and corneal deformation response

Rev. bras. oftalmol; 81 (), 2022
ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to highlight the impact of biomechanical corneal response in available in vivo tonometry methods for glaucoma management. Systematic review of non-contact air-puff tonometers that analyzes the corneal deformation response, with special focus on the investigation of ...

Glaucoma drainage devices

Rev. bras. oftalmol; 81 (), 2022
ABSTRACT Glaucoma drainage devices are important therapeutic options for cases of refractory glaucoma, in which trabeculectomy with antimetabolites has shown high risk of failure. There are devices with different sizes, designs and materials, and several studies have been conducted to test their safety a...

The rates of visual field progression in glaucoma and its clinical importance

Rev. bras. oftalmol; 81 (), 2022
ABSTRACT The rate of visual field progression is an essential factor in determining risk of visual disability or blindness in glaucoma patients. Knowledge of the rate of progression of a particular patient, in combination with an estimation of their longevity and other clinical factors, allows clinicians...

Reversal of cupping em glaucoma juvenil tratado com análogo de prostaglandina tópica

Rev. bras. oftalmol; 79 (1), 2020
Resumo A reversão da escavação é uma entidade rara que se refere à redução da escavação do disco óptico em resposta à diminuição sustentada dos níveis de pressão intra-ocular (PIO), em cerca de 25% da PIO basal. A ocorrência deste fenômeno apenas com o tratamento clínico é pouco relata...
