The Incidence and Risk Factors of Optic Nerve Damage of Posner-Schlossman Syndrome: A Meta-Analysis
CONCLUSION: A fraction of PSS patients ultimately develop GOND so physicians should not be highly optimistic about the prognosis of PSS patients and timely and effective treatment is very important. Patients of higher age, those with double eyes affected, and suffering from a long disease duration might be at a greater risk of developing GOND.PMID:37652409

Quantitative Anterior Chamber Drainage and its Relationship with Initial Intraocular Pressure in Ocular Hypertension: A Comparative Study
CONCLUSIONS: The decrease in IOP resulting from 0.025 mL of fluid drainage from the AC is directly proportional to the initial IOP. Quantitative (0.025 mL) AC drainage effectively reduces IOP levels when the initial IOP exceeds 40 mmHg, with minimal dependence on the initial IOP. Conversely, for piglets with an IOP below 40 mmHg, higher initial IOP values correspond to greater IOP reductions following quantitative drainage. Quantitative (0.025 mL) AC drainage normalizes IOP levels for intermediate IOP values. Additionally, a volume of 0.05 mL quantitative AC drainage can restore IOP levels in piglets with an IOP of 40-60 mmHg.PMID:37499147

Severe Adverse Events of Periocular Acupuncture: A Review of Cases
Korean J Ophthalmol. 2023 Apr 17. doi: 10.3341/kjo.2022.0111. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAcupuncture is recognized as a component of alternative medicine and is increasingly used worldwide. Many studies have shown the various effects of acupuncture around the eyes for ophthalmologic or non-ophthalmologic conditions. For ophthalmologic conditions, the effect of acupuncture on dry eye syndrome, glaucoma, myopia, amblyopia, ophthalmoplegia, allergic rhino-conjunctivitis, blepharospasm, and blepharoptosis has been reported. Recently, several studies on dry eye syndrome have been reported and are in the spotlight. However, g...
