Beginning with the history of when he first thought of the idea as a resident and it was shot down and how this evolved to using antimetabolites in conjunction with the needling in order to discourage fibroblasts from forming more scar tissue from the procedure. You might be surprised to learn what types of blebs are more likely to improve with Slit Lamp Revision! (See the enhanced version of this podcast for chapter markers and images.)

Talking About Glaucoma #16 for late July 2011 - Dr Gus De Moraes, Risk factors for VF Progression in glaucoma patients

In this episode, Dr De Moraes and I discuss risk factors for visual field progression in patients already diagnosed with and being treated for glaucoma.

Dr De Moraes’ group found that patients with established glaucoma were more likely to progress when peak IOP was 18 mm Hg (millimeters of mercury) or higher. Other risk factors included thinning of the cornea, presence of disc hemorrhage in the retina of the eye, and atrophy in part of the eye.

This study was supported by the Joseph and Geraldine LaMotta Research Fund of the New York Glaucoma Research Institute, and one investigator’s work was supported by the Glaucoma Research and Education Fund of Lenox Hill Hospital; both institutions are located in New York. Please see the article in Archives of Ophthalmology cited in these notes for additional information, including other authors, author contributions and affiliations, financial disclosures, funding and support.

Trabeculectomy is the operation that we love to hate so we are always looking for something better. In some countries, new devices just require proving safety without having to show efficacy whereas in other countries both must be proven. Canaloplasty involves threaded a fibre-optic canula around the full circumference of Schlemm’s canal, using viscoelastic to then dilate the canal, pull a suture through to tighten it and change the canal’s position, then creating a descemet’s window before closing. The ExPress mini-shunt is a metal tube under a trabeculectomy scleral flap to create a more predictable trab. The trabectome removes the trabecular meshwork with cautery. The iStent implant is a metal snorkle creating a direct communication between the anterior chamber and Schlemm’s canal. An ER:YAG laser technique of creating direct communication between the AC and the canal has been pioneered by Dr MIchael Berlin but has still not gained traction. Other blebless techniques including the SOLEX gold plate used to create a cyclodialysis are still being tried. In the end, we still have our proven trabeculectomy as well as tube-shunt glaucoma drainage devices, both of which we have solid evidence of safetly and efficacy.

As an addendum, during the show I mentioned that I was going to be performing canaloplasty in the future. I have now performed three surgeries and have three more booked for March 2011. The procedure is like angioplasty for the eye compared with a trabeculectomy or other bleb forming surgeries that are more like bypass surgeries. There is also 4 year data showing canaloplasty success with IOP lowering >30% so this does show some promise as one of the new surgeries though it is technically a bit more complicated despite being less invasive than a trab.

Show notes Talking About Glaucoma #13 December 2010 Glaucoma Risk Factors

In this episode, Dr Nicolela and I discuss the risk factors for the development of glaucoma. This includes talking about the difference between risk factors for developing disease vs those for disease to progress. Much of our current knowledge is based on information from clilnical trials and population studies over the past decade. Bear in mind that still intraocular pressure remains as the single most important modifiable risk factor, even in normal tension glaucoma patients.

Some of the risk factors discussed include intraocular pressure (IOP), age, race (african americans and U.S. Latinos), pachymetry (corneal thickness), family history, and low perfusion pressure as well as signs that likely represent early manifestation of the disease itself such as vertical disc cupping and disc haemmorhages.

Dr Nicolela is Associate Professor and Fellowship Director in the Department of Ophthalmology & Visual Sciences at Dalhousie University.
