Cost-utility analysis of prophylactic laser peripheral iridotomy for primary angle closure suspects
Primary angle closure (PAC) disease (PACD) occurs when trabecular meshwork and aqueous outflow obstruction predisposes to elevated intraocular pressure (IOP), formation of peripheral anterior synechiae (PAS), and, potentially, glaucomatous optic neuropathy. The goal of PACD management is to prevent or reverse angle closure and control IOP to prevent acute angle closure (AAC) crisis and PAC glaucoma (PACG). Prophylactic laser peripheral iridotomy (LPI) is traditionally considered on PAC suspects (PACS) to prevent pupillary block and open the anatomic angle. (Source: American Journal of Ophthalmology)

How to tame a tight DMEK-roll? The `bubble-in-the-roll` technique
Since its introduction in 2006, Descemet Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty (DMEK) has become the surgical procedure of choice for endothelial failure.1 Most surgeons follow the `no-touch` surgical technique.2 Briefly: DMEK-rolls delivered in organ culture medium are rinsed with balance salt solution (BSS, Alcon Nederland BV, Gorinchem, Nederland) and stained two times with trypan blue 0.06% (Vision Blue, D.O.R.C. International, The Netherlands). A direct flow of BSS is used on top of the DMEK graft to open up the roll and to create a double roll. (Source: American Journal of Ophthalmology)

Biomechanics Explains Variability of Response of Small Hypertropia to Graded Vertical Rectus Tenotomy
Small angle hypertropia in sagging eye syndrome is conveniently treated by graded vertical rectus tenotomy, yet adjustable technique under topical anesthesia has been recommended due to variability of effect. We performed graded tenotomy in an experimental model to elucidate the effect reason for variability of response to this surgical procedure. (Source: American Journal of Ophthalmology)

Factors associated with visual field testing reliability in children with glaucoma or suspected glaucoma
Standard automated perimetry (SAP) is an essential tool in diagnosing and monitoring glaucoma by providing quantitative and comparative characterization of visual field defects over time.1 In adults with glaucoma, regular SAP testing is considered standard of care and the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) recommends testing at least annually,2 though some studies have suggested the utility of more frequent testing.3 However, in children, SAP is less widely used given concerns about its feasibility and utility.
