Clinical Outcomes of Excisional Goniotomy with the Kahook Dual Blade: 6-Year Results.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

This study aims to evaluate the long-term clinical outcomes of excisional goniotomy with the Kahook Dual Blade (KDB) in the management of various types of glaucoma.

Methods

This was a retrospective, noncomparative chart review of 90 eyes of 53 patients with glaucoma that underwent standalone KDB goniotomy (KDB-alone group) or KDB goniotomy with concomitant phacoemulsification (KDB-phaco group) between October 2015 and October 2017. Surgical success was defined as an intraocular pressure (IOP) reduction by ≥ 20% at the last follow-up with no surgical reinterventions required and a final IOP ≥ 4 mmHg and ≤ 21 mmHg. We also report on changes from baseline in IOP, number of glaucoma medications, best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), and visual field parameters, for u
