Combined iStent® inject trabecular micro-bypass and phacoemulsification in Australian patients with open-angle glaucoma

Abstract

Purpose: This retrospective audit aimed to evaluate the impact of combined iStent® Inject (iSI) and phacoemulsification on medication number in Australians with open-angle glau-coma. Secondary outcomes included intraocular pressure (IOP), best-corrected visual acuity, refraction and visual fields. Patients and Methods: Patients with glaucoma that received combined iSI and phacoe-mulsification by the same surgeon between 1 February 2016 and 1 February 2018 were audited for postoperative medication number, pressures after 1 day, 1 week, 4 weeks and 6, 12, 18 and 24 months, visual acuity, refraction and visual fields. These parameters were compared to baseline levels and with those from a separ..
