Optimizing Existing Tube Shunt in Uveitic Glaucoma
Glaucoma Case Files begins a new season, filmed at the John A. Moran Eye Center at the University of Utah. Hosts Rachel G. Simpson, MD, and Roya Garakani, DO, review the case of a patient with uveitic glaucoma and a history of tube shunt implantation who presented with elevated IOP. The patient was not tolerating any topical medications and was opposed to the placement of a second tube shunt. Dr. Simpson discusses her decision to optimize the patient’s existing tube shunt through flushing with balanced salt solution.
Survey Says: Proceeding After Unsuccessful Treatment
On this episode of “Survey Says,” a special edition of GT: The Podcast, host I. Paul Singh, MD, is joined by Manjool Shah, MD, and Ticiana De Francesco, MD, to review a real case from Dr. Singh’s practice. They discuss the patient’s treatment history and how it informs which procedures to consider for the future and which ones to rule out. The guests share how they would proceed before finding out what Dr. Singh did and how their colleagues would approach the case, based on results of a social media poll of GT’s audience.
Interventional Valve-Enhancing Trabeculotomy
On MIGS Unplugged, hosts Iqbal Ike K. Ahmed, MD, FRCSC, and Arsham Sheybani, MD, sit down with Davinder S. Grover, MD, MPH, to recap a presentation on interventional valve-enhancing trabeculotomy (IVENT) that he delivered at the AGS annual meeting. Dr. Grover details the mechanisms of action of this procedure and explains that it could offer a less invasive tissue-sparing alternative to traditional goniotomy.
