Clinical outcomes of combined cataract surgery with iStent inject^® W implantation versus cataract surgery alone in patients with open-angle glaucoma: real life data in a community-based outpatient setting.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

This study aims to evaluate and compare intraocular pressure (IOP) change and topical IOP-lowering medication use after combined cataract surgery with iStent inject^® W implantation versus cataract surgery alone in patients with open-angle glaucoma.

Methods

Retrospective comparative chart review of 150 patients (150 eyes) with different types of open-angle glaucoma, who were naïve to any previous ocular procedure and underwent combined cataract surgery with iStent^® W implantation (100 eyes) or cataract surgery alone (50 eyes). Study outcomes were median IOP change and the mean number of topical IOP-lowering medications at 3, 6 and 12 months after surgery.

Results

The median IOP change in the iStent inject^® W group at 3-, 6- and
