The iDose TR from Glaukos has been a new tool in our glaucoma armamentarium since 2024. The placement of the implant is intuitive: direct pressure into the scleral wall. Sometimes, however, the implant may not be securely anchored after being released from the delivery handpiece.
In conjunction with Epsilon surgical instruments, we've designed a simple but elegant device to stabilize the iDose in cases of unstable implantation. Continue watching here: https://bit.ly/4bDMcEM
Catherine Johnson, MD, MPH, recaps her article, “Impact of Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty on Diurnal IOP Fluctuation,” which was written with Barbara Wirostko, MD, FARVO, and featured in the November/December issue of Glaucoma Today. Home tonometry data are shedding light on SLT’s effect on IOP spikes in the months following laser treatment. This article reviews diurnal IOP fluctuation before and after SLT and discusses the implications of home tonometry in research: https://bit.ly/41dayjO
Dr. Kaweh Mansouri reviews placement pearls for MINIject to minimize complications and risk, and discusses safety and efficacy data for the procedure: https://bit.ly/405mDqS
N. Troy Gurney, MD, and Richard K. Lee, MD, PhD, recap their article, “Pearls for Effective Laser Cyclophotocoagulation of the Glaucomatous Eye,” which was featured in a recent issue of Glaucoma Today. They make the case that transscleral cyclophotocoagulation should be considered earlier in the glaucoma treatment algorithm and review the proper technique and indications to maximize effectiveness and minimize complications: https://bit.ly/4jCVrZH
In this video, Dr. Richman demonstrates a sideways sweeping motion to break scarring in the angle. He also addresses synechiae at the pupil and opens Schlemm canal. https://bit.ly/3CogRc5
In this video, Eric Rosenberg, DO, MScEng, showcases how technology can augment surgical procedures such as MIGS in real-world applications. He demonstrates how visualization with Ngenuity (Alcon) provides a clear view of the angle structures during iStent Infinite (Glaukos) implantation. Continue watching here: https://bit.ly/4gViPjc
On this episode of Survey Says, a special edition of GT: The Podcast, I. Paul Singh, MD, is joined by guests Lorraine M. Provencher, MD, and Brian Shafer, MD, to review a real case from his practice.
They discuss details of the case, including patient risk factors and possible treatment goals, and weigh their options for managing the case in the most effective manner while still leaving options on the table for future treatment.
Later, the panelists find out how their colleagues would manage the case, based on results of a social media poll of GT’s audience. Listen in here: https://bit.ly/3P9854n
What is the impact of benzalkonium chloride on the long-term health of the eye? According to Jason Bacharach, MD, there are implications beyond just the impact on the ocular surface: https://bit.ly/3BAXn3E
