To evaluate repeatability, reproducibility, and agreement of intraocular pressure measurement with Tono-Pen using Ocufilm and polyethylene wrap tip cover in human eyes. Methods This is a cross-sectional, experimental study. A gas-sterilized, polyethylene wrap was used as an alternative for Tono-Pen tip cover. For the right eye, 4 measurements using polyethylene wrap tip cover were done by two examiners (A and B) in random order to assess intraobserver repeatability and inter-observer reproducibility. For the left eye, 4 measurements were done by examiner A using both polyethylene wrap tip cover and Ocufilm in random order to assess intra-observer repeatability and agreement. Bland-Altman plot and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) were used in all analyses. Cost minimization analysis was evaluated. Results For examiner A, the repeatability of polyethylene wrap tip cover was-0.34, 95% limits of agreement (LOA) were-3.04 to 2.36, and ICC was 0.93 in the right eyes. As for the left eyes, the repeatability of polyethylene wrap tip cover was-0.33, 95% LOA were-3.01 to 2.36, and ICC was 0.93. For examiner B, the repeatability of polyethylene wrap tip cover was-0.02, 95% LOA were-2.88 to 2.83, and ICC was 0.92. The inter-observer reproducibility of polyethylene wrap tip cover was 0.36, 95% LOA were-3.34 to 4.07, and ICC was 0.90. The repeatability of Ocufilm was-0.42, 95% LOA were-2.75 to 1.91, and ICC was 0.95. The agreement of polyethylene wrap tip cover and Ocufilm was-0.71, 95% LOA were-5.18 to 3.76, and ICC was 0.83. There were no allergic reactions or serious complications. From the

“…These factors have resulted in the introduction of various implants and procedures to create and maintain a cyclodialysis cleft [49][50][51][52][53]. The disadvantages of previous suprachoroidal procedures or devices include high rates of intraoperative and postoperative bleeding, unpredictable efficacy in reducing IOP, hypotony, and sudden IOP spikes when the cleft closes.…”

Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) has fulfilled an unmet need in the management of glaucoma. This chapter highlights some controversial issues regarding the use of MIGS in clinical practice, including (1) whether there is sufficient evidence to advocate combining MIGS with cataract surgery over cataract surgery alone, (2) the merits and drawbacks of different approaches to trabecular bypass and canal-based MIGS procedures, (3) the effect of MIGS on endothelial cell loss, (4) suprachoroidal MIGS devices and whether there is still a role for these procedures, and (5) a comparison between subconjunctival MIGS and trabeculectomy. Several questions are still left unanswered and hopefully, further research and more clinical experience with these new technologies will help improve surgical outcomes for patients.
