Association Between Migraine and Open-Angle Glaucoma: A Twelve-Year Nationwide Retrospective Korean Cohort Study
Kim HJ, Ro JS, Lee SH, Moon JY and Lee SH
Previous studies have reported that migraine headaches may be one of the possible risk factors for open-angle glaucoma (OAG); however, a consensus has not been reached regarding the association between OAG and migraine. In this study, we examined the risk of developing OAG in migraine patients using a 12-year nationwide cohort.

Persistent Serous Choroidal and Retinal Detachment After Ab Interno Trabeculotomy for Glaucoma
Nakagawa S and Ishii K
We describe a case of serous retinal detachment (SRD) with ciliochoroidal detachment (CCD) that persisted for 2 years and 7 months after minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS). A 71-year-old woman with primary open-angle glaucoma and cataracts had a central corneal thickness of 489 μm/492 μm and an ocular axis length of 24.05 mm/24.30 mm. She underwent phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation in the right eye (OD), along with goniosynechialysis and microhook ab interno trabeculotomy. Postoperative intraocular pressure was 4-6 mmHg in the OD. Five months later, SRD was observed temporally and inferiorly to the macula, with increased choroidal thickness. Best-corrected visual acuity at 5 months was (1.2)/(1.2) (right eye [OD]/left eye [OS]), and intraocular pressure was 6 mmHg/13 mmHg. CCD in the OD was accompanied by choroidal vessel dilation and choroidal vascular hyperpermeability. Two years and 7 months post-surgery, intraocular pressure spiked to 50-54 mmHg but settled at 12 mmHg 1 week later. CCD resolved, and choroidal folds and SRD disappeared, with decreased choroid thickness. Two years and 10 months postoperatively, there was no SRD recurrence at 10 mmHg on two antiglaucoma eye drops, and best-corrected visual acuity remained stable at (1.0)/(1.0). This case suggests that SRD may result from increased choroidal vessel permeability and retinal pigment epithelium dysfunction secondary to prolonged CCD/low IOP after MIGS. The prolonged disease course may be attributed to the balance between aqueous humor excretion and absorption, influenced by the limited size of the cyclodialysis cleft caused by MIGS.
Delayed onset Spontaneous Hyphema after OMNI® Surgical System
Gautam N and Sit AJ
Minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) offers options for glaucoma treatment that have generally improved safety profiles compared with filtering surgery. MIGS vary in design and procedure, but all angle-based MIGS function by bypassing or removing aqueous humor outflow resistance at the level of the trabecular meshwork. This can lower intraocular pressure but also remove the blood-aqueous barrier. Most studies of MIGS report on relatively short-term safety, but awareness of potential long-term complications is critical for optimal patient management. This case report describes a patient with recurrent and refractory delayed onset spontaneous hyphema after OMNI procedure. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report describing this complication of the OMNI surgical system.
Association between Risk of Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Intraocular Pressure based on the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey VIII
Kim JL and Lee K
A higher STOP-BANG score and loud snoring, observed breathing interruptions during sleep, hypertension, and wide neck circumference were individually and in combination associated with high intraocular pressure in Koreans aged 40 years and older.
Association of Peripapillary Arterial Circle of Zinn-Haller with Glaucoma in Highly Myopic Eyes
Kim JH, Yoon J, Na KI, Hong RK and Lee WJ
The visualization of circle of Zinn-Haller (CZH) on optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) or its pattern does not have a clear effect on glaucoma, while the location of CZH is associated with axial length in highly myopic eyes.
