Abstract: The major target of glaucoma treatment is lowing intraocular pressure, to prevent further optic nerve damage. The limit of traditional procedures, like the unstable postoperative intraocular pressure and postoperative complications, has contributed to the emergence of a new type of minimally anvasive glaucoma surgery, such as the XEN microstent implantation. The effectiveness and safety of this new technology have been confirmed in many clinical studies and have thus been gaining more attention. To enable ophthalmologists to better understand XEN microstent implantation in glaucoma surgery, this paper summarizes the applications and research progress of XEN microstent implantation in glaucoma surgery by analyzing and summarizing the related literatures on XEN microstent implantation in recent years.

Key words: Glaucoma, XEN microstents, Minimally invasive glaucoma surgery

[5] ObjectiveTo discuss the causes and appropriate treatment for iris neovascularization following the analysis of cases( eyes). MethodsIt was a retrospective case series study involving patients( eyes)with iris neovascularization diagnosed between September and July . All the patients underwent ophthalmic examination, and all the examination findings and treatments were recorded. The causes, correlative factors, and treatment outcomes of iris neovascularization were analyzed. ResultsOf the patients, ( eyes, .%)had retinal ischemic signs, including vitreous hemorrhage and retinal vascularization on fundus fluorescein angiography, ( eyes, .%)did not have retinal ischemic signs. After months of treatment, retinal vascularization resolved in all the cases, and iris neovascularization resolved completely in patients( eyes, .%), iris neovascularization was still found in patients( eyes, .%). ConclusionsAnterior segment ischemia may also lead to iris vascularization, although retinal ischemia was the main cause. Additionally, iris neovascularization may not always resolve with treatment for retinal ischemia. Finally, anti-VEGF drug injection was an effective treatment for iris neovascularization..

[6] ObjectiveTo discuss the early diagnosis and multidisciplinary diagnosis and treatment of neovascular glaucoma in ocular ischemic syndrome. MethodsThe medical records of a 54-year-old male patient with cerebral infarction who presented with right-eye vision loss that had persisted for a week were reviewed. After slit-lamp examination and fluorescence angiography, he was diagnosed with ocular ischemic syndrome(OIS)complicated by neovascular glaucoma in the right eye and treated with intravitreal injection of anti-VEGF drugs and panretinal photocoagulation. ResultsAfter three months of treatment, the right-eye iris neovascularization subsided, and the intraocular pressure was controlled within normal limits. ConclusionOcular ischemia is often missed or misdiagnosed by ophthalmologists, neurologists, cardiologists, and vascular surgeons due to its insidious onset and complex clinical manifestations. Therefore, the establishment of multidisciplinary diagnosis and treatment can improve the prognosis of OIS patients..
