To evaluate evolution in the distribution of new glaucoma patients between ophthalmologists and optometrists, and to examine factors predicting provider type, in the context of expansion in the scope of optometry practice.

A population-based study was undertaken using validated datasets in Ontario, Canada from 2007 to 2018, encompassing time before and after optometry practice scope expansion in 2011. All patients aged 66 and older receiving a glaucoma suspect diagnosis or first-line therapy for glaucoma from ophthalmologists or optometrists were enrolled. Predictors of provider type were evaluated using logistic regression.

From 2007 to 2018, 401,560 patients received initial glaucoma care, including 303,440 by ophthalmologists and 98,120 by optometrists. bpV cost Population rates of glaucoma suspect diagnosis increased for both providers over the study period. The rate of therapy initiation increased annually among optometrists after 2011, while the rate remained stable over that period among ophthalmologists. By 2018, 88% of patients initiating therapy and 59% of patients first diagnosed as a glaucoma suspect received that care from ophthalmologists. In the final study year, therapy initiations per provider were lower among optometrists (median 2/provider; interquartile range 1 to 3) than among ophthalmologists (median 26.5/provider, interquartile range 10 to 53). Patients were more likely to receive care from an ophthalmologist than an optometrist if they were older, had higher ocular or systemic comorbidity, or lived in urban settings.

Optometrists have a large and growing role in diagnosing glaucoma suspects; however, despite scope expansion, optometrists play a much smaller role in initiating glaucoma therapy.

Lens extraction with endocycloplasty (LE/ECPL) results in greater angle deepening than LE alone in plateau iris eyes. This study directly compares an LE/ECPL treatment group with a control group.

Quantitatively determine the effect of LE/ECPL versus LE alone for eyes with plateau iris configuration/plateau iris syndrome (PIC/PIS) on angle parameters.

Patients with PIC/PIS who underwent LE/ECPL or LE alone were reviewed. Eyes with ultrasound biomicroscopy-documented PIC that underwent anterior segment optical coherence tomography examination before and after treatment were included. Angle parameters, angle opening distance (AOD), trabecular-iris space area (TISA), and trabecular-iris circumference volume (TICV) were calculated. Angle parameters were compared between treatments using a 2-sample t test. P-values were adjusted by the false discovery rate method (P*). A paired t test was used to compare treated (nasal) and untreated (temporal) angles in LE/ECPL-treated eyes.

Twenty-three eyes of 14 partici, allowing for separation of the effect of ECPL from LE.Eye color is the latest physical attribute to be subject to alteration for cosmetic reasons. We report a rare case of bilateral secondary pigment dispersion following laser burns to the irises for cosmetic purposes. This case demonstrates a case of secondary pigment dispersion not previously reported in the literature to the best of our knowledge.The following presents a case of recurrent choroidal detachments (CD) correlated with changes in serum albumin levels and the patient's fluid status. A 71-year-old female patient presented with a 4-day history of blurry vision in her left eye. Pertinent medical history included end-stage renal disease treated with continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis. Previously, the patient's left eye was treated for primary angle-closure glaucoma by trabeculectomy. While this resulted in a low baseline intraocular pressure (IOP) of 2 to 7 mm Hg, the patient never developed any hypotony-related complications for the past 6 years. After examination, CD was diagnosed and treated with transscleral surgical drainage. The patient further developed 2 additional episodes of CD in the same eye. All episodes were also associated with bilateral pitting edema, weight gain, and hypoalbuminemia. Thus, the patient was recommended to take a protein supplement and limit her fluid intake. In addition, the dialysis treatment regimen was altered to achieve greater daily fluid removal. After 12 weeks, there was no recurrent episode of CD, and the patient was clinically stable with a final visual acuity of 20/30 and an IOP of 3 mm Hg. The serum albumin levels improved slightly, and there were no signs of hypervolemia. In this case of recurrent CD, a possible association between the development of CD, hypoalbuminemia, and hypervolemia in patients with end-stage renal disease is demonstrated. Clinicians should be aware that these systemic factors can be tied with recurrent CDs, especially among patients with a low baseline IOP.
We conducted a literature review of younger patients with exfoliation syndrome (XFS) in an attempt to identify case similarities and better understand disease etiology.

XFS that predisposes to secondary glaucoma is a strongly age-related condition. We performed a literature review of XFS and exfoliation glaucoma (XFG) in patients aged younger than 40 years to examine potential common characteristics and gain clues to its etiology.

We conducted a broad literature search with appropriate keywords and manually extracted key demographic and ocular features on younger XFS and XFG cases. Articles that did not provide past ocular history on early-onset XFS/XFG were excluded.

We identified 12 cases of XFS and XFG in patients from 13 to 40 years old (8 females; 11 White; 5 from Iran). All had past ocular history remarkable for intraocular surgery for other glaucoma conditions (7 cases), other ocular diseases (3 cases), or ocular trauma (2 cases).

All reported early-onset XFS and XFG cases arise in the setting of events that produced a significant disruption of the blood-aqueous barrier. Understanding the metabolic alterations of aqueous humor from such cases could provide clues regarding how exfoliation material forms.
