Purpose: The Preserflo-MicroShunt (PF) is an established device for treating glaucoma, effectively reducing intraocular pressure (IOP) with a good safety record. However, its efficacy in eyes with significantly elevated preoperative IOP levels is not well-documented due to exclusion from many clinical…
Diese Habilitationsschrift untersucht die Morphologie von Sickerkissen nach minimal-invasiver filtrierender Glaukomchirurgie (MIBS) mit Hilfe der Vorderaugenabschnitts-OCT (VA-OCT). Ziel ist es, die diagnostische Aussagekraft der VA-OCT in der postoperativen Beurteilung dieser Strukturen zu verbessern…
Trabeculectomy has traditionally been upheld as the gold standard in glaucoma surgery, but recent advancements, including the PRESERFLO ® MicroShunt, have introduced less invasive techniques to mitigate complications and reduce intraocular pressure (IOP). The examination of bleb morphology post-filtering…
Evaluation of bleb morphology is a vital part of successful filtration glaucoma surgery. The PRESERFLO-MicroShunt (PRESERFLO) and XEN-Gel-Stent (XEN) are drainage devices implanted using different surgical approaches (ab externo and ab interno, respectively), potentially resulting in distinct bleb morphology.…
Abstract Purpose The success of filtering surgery as in XEN-Gel-Stent (XEN) and Preserflo-Microshunt (PF) depends mainly on a functioning bleb. Primary bleb failure (PBF) is not uncommon and can be treated with needling or open bleb revision (OBR). The aim of the study is to compare surgical outcomes…
Case series purpose: Iris cysts are uncommon lesions, most of them are iris pigment epithelial (IPE) cysts which typically manifest in adults as unilateral single cysts, are typically asymptomatic and rarely require treatment. The most frequent location of IPE cysts is the iris periphery and the iridociliary…
Zusammenfassung Hintergrund Die Implantation des XEN-Gel-Stents stellte eine innovative Methode zur filtrierenden Chirurgie mittels Ab-interno-Verfahren dar. Die morphologische Evaluation des resultierenden Sickerkissens (SK) ist für den chirurgischen Erfolg entscheidend. Häufig ist eine SK-Revision…
Abstract Purpose To investigate the haemoglobin concentration and oxygenation in the optic disc in glaucoma patients vs. controls. Methods Thirty-one eyes of primary open angle glaucoma patients (mean age: 64.9 ± 2.1 years) and 31 eyes of 31 healthy controls (65.5 ± 2.0 years) were included. Perimetry,…
Abstract Purpose To study the effect of anti-VEGF therapy for diabetic macular edema (DME) on retinal oxygen saturation (O 2 S) and its correlation with functional and anatomical changes of retinal tissue. Methods An interventional prospective single group study. Included were 10 eyes of 10 patients…
