Minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) isn’t just for mild to moderate conditions. It is safer and may be more effective than tube shunts in patients with uveitic and steroid-induced glaucoma.
Home Tonometry Reveals Pressure Spikes Not Detected at Office Visits
Glaucoma specialist Shalini Sood-Mendiratta, MD, has begun lending home tonometry units to her patients. At-home monitoring can reveal pressure fluctuations not evident at office visits.
Smart Contact Lenses Have Potential to Monitor, Treat Glaucoma
A team of Cleveland Clinic researchers is developing an “intelligent” contact lens to continuously measure intraocular pressure (IOP) throughout the day.
Ab-interno Trabeculotomy Restores Aqueous Outflow in Man with Schwartz-Matsuo Glaucoma
A 29-year-old man with optic disc cupping and retinal detachment was diagnosed with Schwartz-Matsuo glaucoma. After reattachment surgery and gonioscopy-assisted transluminal trabeculotomy, his IOP is well controlled on medications.

Ocular Adnexal Lymphoma Masquerading as Glaucoma
A 68-year-old man with poorly controlled unilateral open-angle glaucoma gets an unexpected diagnosis, and successful treatment.
Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery Lowers Intraocular Pressure, Reduces Need for Eyedrops
Using minimally invasive glaucoma surgery as an adjunct to cataract surgery safely restores vision and reduces intraocular pressure in patients with pre-existing mild-to-moderate stage glaucoma.
Caspase-8-mediated Cleavage Inhibits IRF-3 Protein by Facilitating its Proteasome-mediated Degradation
Cleveland Clinic researchers demonstrate cell-specific responses to extracellular viruses, which may be helpful in uncovering the mechanisms behind determining a cell’s fate.
Advances in Glaucoma Surgery
Best practice surgery for glaucoma is changing fast. University of Colorado School of Medicine ophthalmology professor and Chief of Glaucoma Services discusses how with MIGS, surgeons can choose from more treatment options on the market or on the way to it.
Proteomic Studies of Age-Related Ocular Diseases
Ongoing global analyses can identify biomarker candidates for targeted quantitative proteomic analyses. Knowledge gained can guide future diagnoses and treatments for AMD and glaucoma.
