Initial experience with phacoemulsification and goniotomy using the Kahook dual blade in advanced open-angle glaucoma: Six-month outcomes in Indian eyes.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The aim of this study was to report our initial experience on the outcomes of phacoemulsification in combination with goniotomy using the Kahook Dual Blade (KDB) in eyes with advanced open-angle glaucoma (OAG).

Methods

The outcomes of phaco-goniotomy with KDB in advanced OAG in Indian eyes were retrospectively analyzed. Based on the Hodapp-Anderson-Parrish criteria of visual field defects, severe glaucoma (mean deviation on standard automated perimetry worse than 12 dB) was considered as advance glaucoma. Preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative data were collected through 6 months of follow-up. Outcome measures included antiglaucoma medications (AGM), the proportion of eyes achieving >1AGM reduction, intraocular pressure (IOP), and visual acuity.
