Refractive Outcomes Following Combined Cataract and Microinvasive Glaucoma Surgery.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To compare refractive outcomes in eyes undergoing cataract extraction (CE) alone, CE with goniotomy (CE/goniotomy), and CE with Schlemm's canal stent (CE/SCS) insertion.

Design

Retrospective cohort study.

Participants

Eyes from the Bascom Palmer Glaucoma Repository undergoing CE/goniotomy, CE/SCS insertion, or uncomplicated CE alone between July 2014 and February 2022 were identified.

Methods

Refraction data were analyzed at postoperative month (POM) 1 and 6 with Kruskal-Wallis and Dunn's tests. Anisometropia was defined as a spherical equivalent (SE) difference of ≥2D.

Main outcome measures

The primary outcome was mean refraction at POM1 and POM6 across the 3 surgical groups. Secondary outcomes were comparisons of refraction and visual acuity (V
