IStent versus iStent inject implantation combined with phacoemulsification in open angle glaucoma.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To compare the outcomes of iStent vs. iStent inject implantation combined with phacoemulsification.

Methods

This single center retrospective comparative case series included subjects with open angle glaucoma who underwent iStent or iStent inject implantation combined with phacoemulsification with ≥1 year follow-up. The main outcome measures were in-group and between-group changes in intraocular pressure (IOP) and medication number, proportion of eyes that achieved IOP ≤15 mmHg, and surgical success defined as 20% IOP reduction from baseline at 6/12 months. Univariate/multivariate regression analyses were done to identify predictors of surgical failure.

Results

One hundred ninety-seven eyes of 148 patients were included (122 iStent, 75 iStent inject). Both grou
