Abstract:
Purpose. Cyclectomy/trabeculectomy and Ahmed glaucoma valve implant are operations suggested for refractory glaucomas. In this study, we have evaluated the outcomes that we observed with these two techniques in neovascular glaucoma patients. Material and Methods. Thirty-five eyes with neovascular glaucomas were included in this study. Ahmed Glaucoma valve (group A) was applied to ten eyes, while cyclectomy/trabeculectomy was applied to 25 eyes (group C/T). Vision, intraocular pressure and complications were evaluated at the end of the first week and after 6 and 12 months. Results. Vision preservations were 80% and 92%, and success rates in reducing intraocular pressure were 50% and 72% for Ahmed glaucoma valve and cyclectomy/trabeculectomy groups, respectively. None of the differences in complication rates was found to be statistically significant. Conclusions. In the surgical management of neovascular glaucoma, cyclectomy/trabeculectomy was shown to be an alternative to Ahmed glaucoma valve operation.

Abstract:
Glaucoma is a complex group of diseases causing progressive degeneration of the optic nerve. Despite strong evidence of hereditary contributions to glaucoma, relatively few genetic mutations associated with glaucoma risk have thus far been identified. Glaucoma likely represents a complex genetic trait influenced by multiple loci and many confounding factors, increasing the challenge in identifying glaucoma’s hereditary basis. In this article, a brief history of the search for glaucoma-causing mutations is presented, highlighting recent breakthroughs that have identified lysyl oxidase-like 1 (LOXL1) as a major genetic risk factor contributing to exfoliative glaucoma. In considering challenges that remain ahead, our central tenet is that the search for glaucoma’s genetic elements will continue to require experimental ingenuity and synergistic approaches involving animal models that render the complexity of glaucoma more tractable.

Abstract:
The purpose of this review is to consider neovascular and phacogenic types of secondary glaucoma that ophthalmologists have to deal with in their daily clinical practice for effective identification of the risk group, for the purpose of prevention, slowing down progression, as well as maintaining visual functions and quality of life of the patient. The review was written by using the domestic RSCI database and the international PubMed database, the search keywords were «secondary glaucoma», «neovascular glaucoma», «phacogenic glaucoma», «phacotopic glaucoma», «phacomorphic glaucoma», «phacotoxic glaucoma», «phacolytic glaucoma». An analysis of 44 literature sources was performed. The search depth was 23 years (2001–2024). The article highlights the issues of classification of secondary phacogenic and neovascular glaucoma. It was revealed that practicing opthalmologists more often use the clinical classification of secondary glaucomas proposed by A.P. Nesterov. Emphasis is placed on the issues of pathogenesis, clinical presentation and differential diagnostic features of neovascular and phacogenic glaucoma, which are distinguished by a variety of etiopathogenetic mechanisms of development and clinical manifestations. Key words: secondary glaucoma, classification of secondary glaucoma, neovascular glaucoma, phacogenic glaucoma

Abstract:
Intraocular pressure (IOP) modifications in patients with acute central/hemicentral retinal vein occlusions (RVOs) consist in IOP reductions and increases. The IOP reduction is due to a transitional hyposecretory phase of the aqueous humor, that increases gradually until 3mo after the venous occlusion onset, and then finally disappears after month 4th. The IOP increases lead to the ocular hypertension and glaucoma. The possible pathogenetic correlations between ocular hypertension/glaucoma and acute central/hemicentral RVOs have been classified into three groups: 1) the venous occlusion precedes the ocular hypertension/glaucoma causing neovascular glaucoma and secondary angle-closure glaucoma without rubeosis; 2) the ocular hypertension and the glaucoma precede the venous occlusion and favor its appearance (ocular hypertension, primary angle-closure, primary angle-closure glaucoma, and open angle glaucomas); and 3) the venous occlusion and the ocular hypertension/glaucoma are mostly age dependent appearances due to common vascular and collagen alterations, lacking a causal connection between the 2 conditions.

Abstract:
Glaucoma drainage devices may be indicated in glaucoma associated to complex congenital anomalies or dysgenesis of the anterior segment, secondary glaucomas such as those developed after congenital cataract surgery, severe primary congenital glaucoma after failed angle surgery and in eyes with severe conjunctival scarring. They can be combined with several other procedures, such as cataract extraction, intraocular lens implantation, keratoplasty or pars plana vitrectomy. This procedure may achieve a sustained and prolonged intraocular pressure reduction in children, with early post-operative success as high as 90 %, although it decreases over time, to 40–60 % survival at 4–6 years using the Kaplan-Meier analysis and most children need to reinitiate glaucoma treatment postoperatively. We must bear in mind that complications may occur, especially tube malposition and exposure, and multiple repeated surgeries may be necessary. The advantages and complications should be weighed in each individual case.

Abstract:
Glaucoma, is a group of conditions characterized by optic disc cupping and visual field defects. Evaluation, staging and monitoring of glaucoma requires a series of functional tests which is a time consuming process. So far, Standard Automated Perimetry (SAP) is recognized as a reference standard for all the functional testing1. Glaucoma may present with a structural or a functional change. Therefore, the correct test strategy for diagnosis is vital to prevent overlooking the onset of glaucoma2.

Abstract:
Abstract We studied the scientific literature and disease guidelines in order to summarize the clinical utility of genetic testing for Mendelian glaucomas, a large heterogeneous group of inherited disorders, classified according to age of onset as congenital glaucoma, juvenile glaucoma and age-related glaucoma. Variations in the TEK, MYOC, ASB10, NTF4, OPA1, WDR36 and OPTN genes are inherited in an autosomal dominant manner and variations in the CYP1B1 and LTBP2 genes have autosomal recessive inheritance. The prevalence of congenital glaucoma is estimated at 1-9 per 100 000, that of juvenile glaucoma at 1 per 50 000, while there is insufficient data to establish the prevalence of age-related glaucoma. Clinical diagnosis is based on clinical findings, age of onset, family history, ophthalmological examination, intraocular pressure, gonioscopy and fundoscopy. The genetic test is useful for confirming diagnosis, and for differential diagnosis, couple risk assessment and access to clinical trials.

Abstract:
Objetivo: Analisar as características do Glaucoma. Revisão bibliográfica: O glaucoma é um grupo de doenças cuja característica comum é a degeneração progressiva do nervo óptico, com perda de células ganglionares da retina, afinamento da camada de fibras nervosas da retina e aumento da escavação do disco óptico. Os sintomas visuais costumam ser uma característica tardia do glaucoma, quando a doença já está muito avançada. Dentre os muitos tipos de glaucoma, os mais frequentes são os glaucomas primários de ângulo aberto (GPAA) e de ângulo fechado (GPAF). Estima-se que 4,5 milhões ou mais de 12% de todos os casos de cegueira em todo o mundo foram resultado de glaucoma. Considerações finais: O Glaucoma é uma doença que cursa com redução da acuidade visual e, consequentemente, declínio da qualidade de vida dos pacientes. Embora o glaucoma progrida, geralmente, de forma lenta, é a causa mais comum de cegueira evitável irreversível no mundo. Dessa forma, é fundamental a conscientização acerca da doença a fim de propiciar o diagnóstico de forma mais precoce possível com tratamento adequado instituído pelo oftalmologista a fim de evitar a progressão do glaucoma.

Abstract:
Background: Glaucoma is a major cause of irreversible blindness worldwide, with a variety of subtypes such as primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG), primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG), and secondary glaucomas, each with distinct pathophysiological mechanisms and treatment challenges. The prevalence and patterns of glaucoma vary geographically, with PACG being more common in Asian populations. Early detection and management are crucial in preventing blindness, particularly in resource-limited settings where delayed diagnosis is common. Objective: This study aims to analyze the patterns of glaucoma among patients at a tertiary eye hospital in southern Bangladesh, focusing on the distribution of different glaucoma subtypes, demographic trends, and clinical characteristics. Methodology: A prospective observational study was conducted at the outpatient department of Sheikh Fazilatunnessa Mujib Eye Hospital & Training Institute (SFMEHTI), Gopalganj, Bangladesh, from January to December 2019. All patients presenting with glaucoma or suspected glaucoma were included. Data were collected on age, clinical diagnoses, symptoms, ocular examination findings, intraocular pressure (IOP), gonioscopic findings, and visual field tests. The glaucoma subtypes were classified based on the clinical presentation and diagnostic results. Results: The most common types of glaucoma were PACG (45%), POAG (32%), and lens-induced glaucoma (LIG) (12%). Other types included normal tension glaucoma (NTG) (6%), juvenile glaucoma (2%), congenital glaucoma (1%), neovascular glaucoma (NVG) (1%), and aphakic and others glaucoma (1%). At the time of presentation, 47% of patients had normal vision, 30% had visual impairment, 14% were severely visually impaired, and 5% were blind. The mean IOP was 26.29 mmHg in the right eye and 26.37 mmHg in the left eye. Gonioscopy revealed that the majority of patients had narrow angles, with a smaller percentage showing open or closed angles. Conclusion: Primary ...

Abstract:
This thesis investigates three different aspects of glaucoma awareness using both quantitative and qualitative methods. Patient Awareness: This qualitative study looked at patients perceptions of glaucoma. Participants (N=28) reported low levels of awareness of glaucoma prior to their diagnosis and assumed that symptoms were the ‘normal’ deterioration of eyesight. As symptoms have a gradual onset, participants had learnt to cope with diminishing sight ability. Findings suggested health promotion a priority to increase public awareness of the existence and symptoms of glaucoma among those at high risk. Current public awareness: This study looked to document public awareness and knowledge of glaucoma. The study used health knowledge questionnaires in three different populations: 1. nationally representative sample of 1009 people 2. telephone Interviews – 500 Isle of Wight, 226 Ealing 3. face-to-face interviews – 300 Ealing Between 71-93% of those interviewed by telephone had heard of glaucoma. However, only 23% of those interviewed face-to-face in Ealing reported having heard of glaucoma. We found a relatively high level of awareness and knowledge of glaucoma in the general UK population but identified at least one pocket of poor knowledge in a specific subpopulation. Can we change awareness? This study investigated whether a public health campaign could increase awareness and change help-seeking behaviour with respect to ocular health with residents in Southall, Ealing aged 60+. The health knowledge questionnaire from the previous study was used to assess the campaign. The health campaign comprised of four components. 1. Television 2. Local Press 3. Local Radio 4. Places of worship The results showed a significant increase in the number of people who had heard of Glaucoma rising from 22% to 53%. Before the intervention most people had heard about glaucoma from their GP, friend or relative. After intervention the majority (69%) had heard of glaucoma from the radio. This study showed a significant increase in awareness from using different kinds of media and showed radio to be the most effective in the target community. Although the campaign raised awareness it did not show a change in help seeking behaviour.

Abstract:
What is the problem? The number of people coming to the hospital eye departments is likely to increase in the future, as a result of an ageing population, increased optometric case finding and raised public awareness. This fact coupled with the increased economic pressures in health-care financing, and the relative shortage of ophthalmologists in the United Kingdom is going to put significant strain on ophthalmology provision. As a result of these issues, there has been a drive by the government to move eye care into the community and to have more primary care involvement. A variety of alternative models have been proposed for patient care in the community. An important part of assessing these models is to investigate their relative cost effectiveness as well as safety, capacity and patient acceptance. What are the current models? There have been many shared care models that have been proposed. These have included the Community and Hospital Allied Network Glaucoma Evaluation Scheme (CHANGES), the Peterborough Scheme, East Devon Scheme, Waltham Forest Scheme and the Nottingham Scheme. One of the main schemes was the Bristol Shared Care Scheme. This scheme was shown not to be cost effective. It did show that community optometrist’s measurements were of comparable accuracy to those made in the hospital. The annual cost per patient follow-up by a community optometrist was £68.98-£108.98 compared to £14.50-£59.95 in the hospital. The main reason for the cost difference was due to a variation in the patient recall interval between the community and hospital. The second reason was due to the re-referral of patients back from the community clinics to the hospital clinics. What was our contribution? We developed an Integrated Glaucoma Care Model. This involved training and accrediting community optometrists to run Moorfields glaucoma clinics in their Optometric practices whilst alternating attending glaucoma clinics in the hospital. Our results showed that it was more costly to run the community based glaucoma clinics compared to hospital based clinics. These were the same findings as in the Bristol shared care model. The main reasons for the higher costs in the community were due to the large overhead costs of running the glaucoma scheme in the community optometric practices as well as fewer patients being seen in the community compared to the hospital. The community optometrists involved in our scheme were in general found to be competent, efficient and safe. The patient perspectives of our model were overall positive with a large majority of patients happy to be seen in the community again. What were our recommendations? Our main recommendation was to evolve our model to run the shared care scheme within the hospital setting to avoid the high rental costs of the optometric practices. This model is being successfully run at Bristol Eye Hospital where there is a complete shared care department involving optometrists. This type of model could utilise hospital optometrists but could also have accredited community optometrists attending the hospital and participating in such schemes. A second possibility could be to run these shared care schemes in hospital satellite settings or mobile units. An example of this is the Newmedica model. There is a clear requirement for cost effectiveness evaluation of such schemes along with an assessment of safety, capacity and patient acceptance before any conclusions can be reached.

Abstract:
Primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) is a leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide, and the only modifiable risk factor is intraocular pressure (IOP). Glaucoma is a complex disease with specific endophenotypes, and disease pathogenesis is likely to involve multiple pathways linking genetic and environmental interactions. Growth factors present in the aqueous humour in POAG increase outflow resistance and elevate IOP. TGF-β2 alters ECM production and turnover in the trabecular meshwork (TM) and has been shown in numerous studies to play a role in the pathogenesis of POAG. No current pharmacological interventions target the deleterious effects of TGF-β2 of the TM which produced elevated IOP. In addition to TGF-β another well characterised glaucoma stimulus is corticosteroids. Corticosteroids are used in ophthalmology to decrease inflammation and preserve ocular function. However side effects including cataract, enhanced infection, and glaucoma are associated with their use. Small, naturally occurring regulatory genes, micro RNAs (miRNAs), target many genes downstream of TGF-β2 and are expressed in response to corticosteroids. The current work set out to identify key differentially expressed genes by RNA-Seq in the human trabecular meshwork (TM) in response to two glaucoma stimuli; TGF-β2 and dexamethasone; and investigate the ability of miRNAs to manipulate gene expression within the TM to reduce pathological insults central to glaucoma. Investigating the influence of TGF-β2 on gene expression in primary human TM cells demonstrated that the majority of the significantly differentially expressed genes were involved in extracellular matrix remodelling and actin cytoskeletal re-organisation likely via the RhoA signalling pathway. The influence of dexamethasone on gene expression in primary human TM cells identified genes involved in extracellular matrix remodelling and genes required for glucocorticoid receptor nuclear translocation. Differentially expressed miRNAs in healthy and glaucomatous human TM cells were identified by a miRNA microarray. Manipulation of validated mRNA targets by identified miRNAs indicated a complex regulatory network and in vitro functional analyses further identified regulation of actin cytoskeleton remodelling via miRNA inhibition. The findings of this study indicate that TGF-β2 and dexamethasone have significant effects on extracellular matrix remodelling and actin cytoskeletal re-organisation in human TM cells. The RNA-Seq and miRNA array have identified potential novel therapeutic targets for glaucoma.

Dissertação de Mestrado Integrado em Medicina Veterinária<br>A realização deste trabalho teve como objectivo o estudo das diferentes opções de tratamento do glaucoma canino, assim como, a busca da melhor opção para cada caso. Este trabalho baseou-se numa extensa pesquisa bibliográfica e no estudo de vários casos clínicos. Ao longo deste trabalho mencionei as várias opções médicas e cirúrgicas de tratamento do glaucoma canino. Além disso, referi o possível recurso a medicinas alternativas como a acupunctura. Existe um vasto campo de escolha no que se refere ao tratamento médico do glaucoma, com várias estratégias possíveis a seguir e muitos medicamentos a eleger. A eleição do tratamento baseia-se nas indicações, contra-indicações, efeitos secundários dos vários medicamentos e as possibilidades económicas do proprietário. O factor económico é, muitas vezes, um factor de peso na eleição do tratamento. Além deste vasto leque de opções que já são utilizadas, existe ainda um grande número em estudo que, num futuro próximo, poderão ser utilizadas para auxiliar no combate a esta afecção. Quando as opções médicas falham, dispomos ainda de várias técnicas cirúrgicas que podem ser efectuadas para resolução deste problema.<br>ABSTRACT - The goals of this work were to study the different options in the treatment of the canine glaucoma, as well as to search the best treatment option to each case. The study bases are a large amount of bibliography research and the study of several clinical cases. Through all this work I’ve mentioned the several medical and surgical options in the treatment of the canine glaucoma. Beyond that, I’ve mentioned the possible use of alternative medicines like acupuncture. There’s a large variety in what refers to the medical treatment of the canine glaucoma, with a big variety of possible strategies to choose and lot’s of medicines to use. The selection of the treatment has bases in the indications, adverse effects and secondary effects of the various medicines and the economical possibilities of the owner. The economical factor is, most of the times, very important in the treatment option to choose. In spite of all the options that are already in use, there are several options that still are being studied and that in a near future may be able to be used in the treatment of this disease. When the medical options fail, there still are several surgical options that can be used to solve this problem.

Abstract:
Background: Primary open angle glaucoma is characterised by progressive optic neuropathy associated with characteristic visual field loss. The ability to measure disease progression is of vital importance in the management of patients with glaucoma. Conventionally, disease progression has been monitored using static automated perimetry. Recently, devices which image the optic nerve head quantifiably have been introduced. This thesis sets out to compare structural and functional progression in ocular hypertensive subjects followed longitudinally using novel progression algorithms. Plan of research: The investigations may be considered in three parts. Firstly, the factors affecting the test-retest variability of the Heidelberg Retina Tomograph (HRT) are identified and methods to improve repeatability are investigated. Secondly, novel HRT trend and event analyses, based on the findings of the test-retest studies, are compared with established field progression techniques in ocular hypertensive and control subjects. Thirdly, a previously described novel spatial filter is assessed in terms of its impact on the monitoring of visual field progression and in terms of its agreement with a previously described 'structural' map. Results: Rim area was identified as the most repeatable HRT parameter its variability can be improved by using the 320pm reference plane and by using only good quality images. Agreement as regards structural and functional progression was poor, regardless of the estimated specificities of the algorithms used or technique adopted. The novel spatial filter appeared to confer some advantage in terms of specificity, comparable to the effect of confirmatory testing. The functional relationship between test-points, characterised by the filter, correlated well with the expected structural pattern. Clinical significance: The poor agreement suggests that the monitoring of both structure and function is essential to provide the best chance of detecting progression at all stages of the disease. Spatial filtering techniques may provide some additional benefit in the monitoring of progression, particularly once structural data are incorporated.

Abstract:
Glaucoma describes a group of potentially blinding ocular disorders, afflicting c. 60 million people worldwide. Of these, c. 8 million are bilaterally blind, estimated to increase to 11 million by 2020. The central event in glaucoma is slow and irreversible damage of retinal ganglion cells, responsible for carrying visual information from the retina to the brain (Figure 1). Intraocular pressure (IOP) is a risk factor for glaucoma1–4, and significant, sustained IOP reduction is unequivocally beneficial in the clinical management of glaucoma patients2, 3, 5. Unfortunately, we do not understand how elevated IOP leads to the loss of retinal ganglion cells.

Abstract:
The attrition of nerve fibers in the peripapillary area and the optic nerve head (ONH) in glaucoma has been attributed to mechanical compression of, or aberrant blood flow to the ganglion cell axons comprising the optic nerve1. Recently, greater attention has been focussed on the vascular factors in glaucoma2. Much of the delay in understanding the pathophysiology of glaucoma has been the absence of clinically usable instruments for reliably quantifying subtle structural changes in the ONH, and blood flow in the optic nerve. Fortunately, Petrig and Riva recently demonstrated the applicability of laser doppler principles for measuring blood flow in the ONH in man3, and confocal imaging principles have been adapted for computer reconstruction of serial laser scanned planes of the ophthalmoscopically visible ONH to provide highly accurate and reliable three-dimensional images4 for fundamental/clinical research.

Abstract:
The early detection of optic nerve damage is a prerequisite for effective therapy in primary open-angle glaucoma (Kass et al., 1990). An alarmingly large proportion of retinal ganglion cells may be damaged, however, before visual field defects are observed with conventional manual or automated perimetry (Quigley et al., 1982; Quigley et al., 1989). This implies that either there is widespread redundancy within the retina such that substantial cell death can occur without loss of visual performance or that our current clinical procedures do not test the function of the cells that are damaged in early glaucoma. Recent studies lead us to believe that the latter of these two hypotheses may be correct.

Abstract:
Glaucoma is the most common cause of irreversible blindness. It is associated with a progressive loss of cells within the optic nerve head (ONH) at the back of the eye. Glaucoma remains incurable and its exact causes are not well understood. It was once thought to occur only in eyes with elevated pressure (i.e., intraocular pressure or IOP) and to date, lowering IOP is the only clinical treatment proven to be beneficial for slowing the progression of glaucoma. However, the success rate of such therapy is only 50%. Multiple lines of evidence now indicate that IOP is not the only important risk factor in the disease. For instance, while some patients develop glaucoma at elevated IOP (high-tension glaucoma), some develop glaucoma at normal IOP levels (normal-tension glaucoma), and some others with elevated IOP do not develop glaucoma at all.
