Association Between Prior Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty and Phaco-iStent Inject Efficacy.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To evaluate the association between prior selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) on intraocular pressure (IOP) lowering efficacy of phacoemulsification combined with iStent inject (phaco-iStent).

Methods

Retrospective study of 1550 eyes of 1023 patients with and without prior SLT that underwent phaco-iStent. Surgical success was defined at 12 months using three different endpoints: (A) IOP ≤ 21 mmHg and ≥ 20% IOP decrease, or ≥ 1 medication reduction vs. baseline, (B) ≥ 1 medication reduction with no increase in baseline IOP or (C) IOP ≤ 21 mmHg and ≥ 20% IOP decrease alone with no increase in baseline medication use. The prior SLT and no SLT patients were propensity score matched by age, baseline IOP and IOP-lowering medication use and visual field mean deviation
