Intraocular pressure-lowering effects of ripasudil, a rho-kinase inhibitor, and selective laser trabeculoplasty as adjuvant therapy in patients with uncontrolled glaucoma

Koichi Ono et al.

Summary: Both ripasudil and SLT as adjuvant therapy can reduce intraocular pressure in glaucoma patients to a similar extent, but SLT helps reduce the number of medications used. Patients with higher baseline IOP are more likely to achieve treatment success.

Glaucoma in Adults-Screening, Diagnosis, and Management A Review

Joshua D. Stein et al.

Summary: Glaucoma is the most common cause of irreversible blindness worldwide. It is characterized by damage to the optic nerve and retinal nerve fiber layer, leading to permanent loss of vision. Treatment involves lowering intraocular pressure through medications, laser, or surgical procedures to prevent vision loss.

Tackling retinal ganglion cell apoptosis in glaucoma: role of adenosine receptors

Puneet Agarwal et al.

Summary: Adenosine receptors play a significant role in neuroprotection, but their potential as therapeutic targets in protecting against RGC apoptosis in glaucoma needs further investigation. This review explores the distribution of adenosine receptors in the retina, their cellular functions, and their modulation of pathophysiological mechanisms involved in glaucomatous RGC loss. Further research is needed to fully understand the potential of adenosine receptor agonists and antagonists for preserving RGCs in glaucoma.

Evaluation of early medication persistence with omidenepag isopropyl, a topical selective prostaglandin EP2 agonist, in patients with glaucoma: a retrospective two-institute study

Shunsuke Nakakura et al.

Summary: The study evaluated early medication persistence with new topical antiglaucoma eyedrops, omidenepag isopropyl. Out of 235 patients, 20% experienced treatment failure, with male gender and monotherapy/switching being significant risk factors for failure. Persistence rates at 3, 6, and 12 months were 85%, 80%, and 70% respectively, with the median time until discontinuation of omidenepag isopropyl being 45 days. In conclusion, medication persistence with omidenepag isopropyl is generally positive but clinicians should be cautious of early failure, with risk factors including male gender and monotherapy/switching.
