The Argus II Retinal Prosthesis in Retinitis Pigmentosa Patients: Surgical and
Functional Outcomes From a Collaborative Retina Study Group

J Fernando Arevalo MD FACS; Saba Al Rashaed MD; Eman Said Kahtani MD;
Abdulrahman Awaji Hommadi
Poster presentation

Purpose:
To describe the anatomical and functional outcomes in patients affected by retinitis
pigmentosa who received the Argus II Retinal Prosthesis System.

Research Department Annual Report 2015

Presentations 243

Methods:
Retrospective interventional case series of 7 patients (7 eyes).

Results:
Implantation of Argus II was safely performed in all patients. Minimum follow-up
of 12 months. One patient experienced postoperative elevated IOP. Moderate
separation of the device from the retina occurred postoperatively in 1 patient, which
did not affect the visual result. All patients were able to locate a bright light on
the ceiling and the door of the examination room after surgery. Performance tests
improved in most patients (80%) with the system on.

Conclusion:
The Argus II was safely implanted in 7 eyes. Patients performed visual tasks better
after surgery.

The Argus II Retinal Prosthesis: Surgical and Functional Outcomes in Younger
Retinitis Pigmentosa Patients

J Fernando Arevalo MD FACS; Marco Mura MD; Saba Al Rashaed MD
Poster presentation

Purpose:
To describe the anatomical and functional outcome in young (< 50 years old) patients
affected by retinitis pigmentosa (RP) who received the Argus II Retinal Prosthesis
System.

Methods:
Retrospective interventional comparative case series of 5 young patients (5 eyes).

Results:
Implantation of Argus II was safely performed. Moderate separation of the device
from the retina occurred and macular edema developed in 1 patient, which did not
affect the visual result. All patients were able to locate a bright light on the ceiling
and the door of the examination room after surgery. Performance tests improved
in most patients (80%) with the system on. Functional results were better in young
patients than in patients implanted when older than 50 years old.

Conclusion:
The Argus II functional results seem to be better in young patients.

Surgical Outcome of Illuminated Microcatheter for 360 Degree Trabeculectomy
as a Secondary Procedure in Congenital Glaucoma

Ibrahim Al-Jadaan, MD ; Ahmed Al-Habash, MD; Edward Deepak, MD
Poster Presentation

Purpose:
To describe the outcomes of illuminated microcatheter for 360-degree trabeculotomy
(IMT) as a secondary procedure for primary congenital glaucoma (PCG).

Methods:
Seven eyes that underwent IMT following failed conventional procedures were
reviewed. IOP < 21 mmHg with a minimum 3-month follow-up was the main
outcome measure.

Results:
The mean age at the time of surgery was 43 ± 33 months. Of the 7 eyes, complete
IMT was achieved in 4 (57%) and partial in 3 (43%). Five eyes had 1 procedure
prior to IMT, and 2 had 2 procedures. The mean follow-up was 5.7 ± 4.5 months.
For all eyes there was a 38% IOP reduction (from 28 ± 5 mmHg preop to 16 ± 2
mmHg postop). At the last visit, 6 of 7 eyes were off glaucoma medications (preop:
2-4 meds). Transient hyphema occurred in 2 eyes. All corneas showed clearing
postoperatively.

Conclusion:
For PCG, IMT is a viable option to control IOP when the first procedure has failed.

Emphasizing Glaucoma

Lecture presentation

Objective:
This course is designed to enable participants to master the skills necessary for
interpreting automated VFs and for using them in the management of glaucoma
patients.
