The use of topical nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) does not seem to enhance the efficacy of selective laser trabeculoplasty for patients with glaucoma, as shown in a study.

The effects of systemic antihypertensive medications on glaucoma and intraocular pressure (IOP) appear to vary widely, according to the results of a systematic review and meta-analysis.

In the treatment of patients with open-angle glaucoma (OAG), gel stent is noninferior to trabeculectomy in terms of reducing intraocular pressure (IOP) by at least 20 percent, according to a study. Trabeculectomy helps reduce IOP to a greater extent, whereas gel stent leads to fewer adverse events (AEs).

The novel NOV03 ophthalmic drop consisting of perfluorohexyloctane appears to help reduce both signs and symptoms of dry eye disease (DED) associated with meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), as shown in the results of the phase III MOJAVE study.

Myopia and primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) share a strong bidirectional, genetic, causal relationship, which is primarily driven by intraocular pressure (IOP), suggest the results of a study.

Treatment with intravitreal aflibercept in patients with nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy but without centre-involved diabetic macular edema appears to slow disease progression and reduce the risk of developing vision-threatening complications but fall short of improving visual acuity, according to a study.
