Netarsudil/Latanoprost Fixed-Dose Combination for Elevated Intraocular Pressure: 3-Month Data From a Randomized Phase 3 Trial.

PURPOSE: To compare the ocular hypotensive efficacy and safety of a fixed-dose combination (FDC) of the Rho kinase inhibitor netarsudil and latanoprost vs monotherapy with netarsudil or latanoprost.

IDENTIFICATION OF POSTERIOR SEGMENT PATHOLOGY WITH EN FACE RETINAL IMAGING USING MULTICOLOR CONFOCAL SCANNING LASER OPHTHALMOSCOPY.

PURPOSE: To assess posterior segment findings on multicolor confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscopy by correlation with spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) and to quantify agreement between these imaging modalities.

Bleb Grading Using Anterior Segment Optical Coherence Tomography

Characterization of Artifacts Associated With Multicolor Confocal Scanning Laser Ophthalmoscopy.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: To characterize the appearance of three types of artifacts observed on multicolor confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscopy (cSLO).

Feasibility of laser trabeculoplasty in angle closure glaucoma: a review of favourable histopathological findings in narrow angles.

Selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) has been indicated as a safe and efficient treatment for primary open-angle glaucoma; however, recent studies have also shown positive results with the use of SLT in some clinical conditions related to primary

MULTICOLOR IMAGING OF INNER RETINAL ALTERATIONS AFTER INTERNAL LIMITING MEMBRANE PEELING.

PURPOSE: To characterize the appearance of inner retinal alterations after internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling using multicolor confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscopy (cSLO).

Comparison of Anterior Segment Optical Coherence Tomography Bleb Grading, Moorfields Bleb Grading System, and Intraocular Pressure After Trabeculectomy.

PURPOSE: To compare a novel anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) bleb grading system with a clinical bleb grading system and both with intraocular pressure (IOP) following trabeculectomy surgery.
