Ten-Year Results After Canaloplasty and Phacocanaloplasty.

ABSTRACT: Background/Objectives: To evaluate the long-term efficacy and safety of canaloplasty and phacocanaloplasty in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) and pseudoexfoliation glaucoma (PEXG). Methods: This retrospective observational study included 85 patients with POAG and PEXG who underwent canaloplasty (group 1) or phacocanaloplasty (group 2). Every patient had complete medical records over a 10-year follow-up period. The primary endpoints were the pressure-lowering and drug-sparing effects. The secondary endpoints were intra- and postoperative complications as well as the need for additional surgical interventions. Results: In group 1, the mean baseline intraocular pressure (IOP) of 22.1 ± 0.9 mmHg was reduced to 15.3 ± 0.5 mmHg, 15.7 ± 0.5 mmHg, and 15.9 ± 0
