Could oral sedation reshape glaucoma surgery?

As anesthesia resources tighten and ASC efficiency becomes increasingly important, Zachary Vest, MD, explores a practical shift in surgical anesthesia.

The article examines where oral sedation may fit, which cases may be best suited for it, and how patient selection can shape the experience.

It also highlights the small moments that can influence anxiety in the OR, from draping to microscope light exposure.

What if MIGS outcomes hinge on what we cannot routinely see?

In this Diagnostic Advances article, Osamah Saeedi, MD, MS, and Saige Oechsli, BS, examine episcleral angiography and its potential role in assessing distal aqueous outflow. The piece reframes trabecular bypass surgery around a key question: not simply whether it can lower IOP, but which eyes are most likely to respond.

Emerging imaging approaches may help bring outflow physiology into sharper clinical focus. Read the article to explore how this evolving diagnostic frontier could shape precision glaucoma surgery here: https://ow.ly/pVgi50Z8XnA

When IOP drops, the story is often deeper than the number.

Hypotony after glaucoma surgery can appear subtle at the slit lamp, yet its sequelae may threaten long-term vision.

In this Diagnostic Advances article, Poojitha Balakrishnan, MD, MPH, PhD, and Jithin Yohannan, MD, MPH, explore how OCT, A- and B-scan ultrasound, and UBM can reveal what clinical examination may miss.

From macular folds to anterior segment clues, imaging can help clinicians identify the cause and guide next steps.
