1.  Implantation in one eye of two ex-press implants with two different operations in a patient with advanced, refractory primary open-angle glaucoma. (B. Anguelov, Sofia, Bulgaria)
2. Importance of Guidelines in diagnosis and treatment of glaucoma patients (EGS 2014). (Predrag Jovanovic, Nis, Serbia)
3. Changes in ocular pulse amplitude and retrobulbar hemodynamics in dipper and non-dipper normal-tension glaucoma patients. (Ivan Marjanovic et al., Belgrade, Serbia)
4. Registration of patients with diagnosed glaucoma in Serbia. Registration of patients is an organized system for collecting clinical data with the aim of evaluation and results analysis in a population affected by a certain condition/disease. The purpose of registration is to enable assessment of the glaucoma burden, monitoring of the disease, calculation of the number of years of patients’ inability, tracking of medical expenses, health care and prevention planning. It consists of glaucoma cases that are systematically and continuously collected, analyzed and interpreted in electronic form, signed patients’ consents and personal data protection. (Lidija Magarasevic, Belgrade, Serbia)
5. Incidence of secondary glaucoma after vitreoretinal surgery. Early or late IOP increase as vitre-oretinal surgery complication occurs after buckling and VPP procedures. Secondary glaucoma is due to pupillary block (phacic, pseudophakic, aphakic) or trabecular meshwork inlamma-tion/infiltration by emulsified silicone oil. In 274 VPP cases (80.6% without retinotomy, 15.6% retinotomy 180, 3.8% retinotomy 360), secondary glaucoma occurs in 84 (30.7%), in the first 48 h in 34 (40%) of patients. In thirty patients (36%) IOP was controlled by one medication, 34 (40%) had combined therapy, 20 (24%) underwent silicone oil evacuation surgically. (Marija Radenkovic et al., Nis, Serbia)
