OBJECTIVE
To report a case of severe, acute ocular hypertension in a 6-year-old child, 7 days after initiating treatment with oral prednisolone, due to nephrotic syndrome.
METHODS
A 6-year-old female Caucasian child was diagnosed with nephrotic syndrome and treated with oral prednisolone (60
Purpose. To evaluate the safety and efficacy of adding brinzolamide 1%/timolol maleate 0.5% fixed combination (BTFC) to a prostaglandin analog (PGA). Methods. This was a 12-week, open-label, single-arm study of patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension with intraocular pressure (IOP)
A prospective, randomized, cross-over, double-blind trial was designed to compare the safety and intraocular pressure (IOP) lowering effect of betaxolol 0.25% ophthalmic suspension with and without preservative (benzalkonium chloride). Twenty-seven patients with primary open angle glaucoma or with
OBJECTIVE
To assess ocular discomfort upon instillation and patient preference for brinzolamide/timolol relative to dorzolamide/timolol, in patients with open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension.
METHODS
This was a multicenter, prospective, patient-masked, randomized, crossover study. On day 0,
OBJECTIVE
To describe a case of intravitreal silicone oil (SO) migration into the cerebral ventricles with secondary chronic headaches.
METHODS
Retrospective case report. Chart review. Single patient.
RESULTS
A 51-year-old man with a history of proliferative diabetic retinopathy underwent surgery
A multicenter, randomized, investigator-masked, parallel-group trial compared bimatoprost and latanoprost for efficacy and safety in patients with glaucoma or ocular hypertension. Patients received bimatoprost 0.03% (n = 119) or latanoprost 0.005% (n = 113) once daily in the evening for 3 months.
We report a 53-year-old woman with laser iridotomy (LI)-resistant angle-closure and conjunctival injection, which was thought to be the cause of ciliochoroidal effusion associated with short-lasting unilateral neuralgiform headache with conjunctival injection and tearing (SUNCT) syndrome. LI had no
OBJECTIVE
To determine whether first day follow-up is necessary after routine uncomplicated phacoemulsification cataract surgery.
METHODS
Data collected prospectively at day 1 postoperative review.
RESULTS
In 510 consecutive cases, serious complications occurred in 8 (1.6%) (wound leak [4], corneal
We describe the case of a 41-year-old male that underwent laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) complicated by Urrets-Zavalia syndrome with interface fluid syndrome and epithelial ingrowth.The patient presented at our institution with headache and blurred OBJECTIVE
To determine the efficacy and safety of fixed-combination travoprost 0.004%/timolol 0.5% preserved with polyquaternium-1 in patients with insufficient response to bimatoprost 0.03%/timolol 0.5% preserved with benzalkonium chloride.
METHODS
In this open-label nonrandomized study conducted
BACKGROUND
Topical beta-blockers are a proven and safe medication used in the treatment of glaucoma and ocular hypertension. Local and systemic side effects are, however, well documented. Systemic side effects can include severe cardio-respiratory impairment, endocrine dysfunction, as well as
Cortical venous drainage has been described as one of the major risk factors for dural arteriovenous fistula, which may induce venous hypertension leading to venous ischemia or intracerebral hemorrhage. However, it is rather rare to observe cortical venous drainage manifesting in this way in the
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the comparative efficacy of latanoprost monotherapy versus combined carteolol and pilocarpine therapy in patients with newly diagnosed glaucoma.
METHODS
Masked randomized prospective trial. This study included 51 patients (64 eyes) with newly diagnosed glaucoma or ocular
OBJECTIVE
To compare the effect on intraocular pressure (IOP) of latanoprost monotherapy and timolol-pilocarpine in patients with glaucoma or ocular hypertension with inadequately controlled IOP on topical beta adrenergic antagonists.
METHODS
This was a multicentre, randomised, observer masked, 6
A multicenter, parallel-design, randomized, double-masked study was conducted to compare the efficacy and safety of 2% dorzolamide with those of 0.5% betaxolol in the treatment of elevated intraocular pressure (i.o.p). A total of 311 adults with ocular hypertension or open-angle glaucoma were
