Short-Time Changes of Intraocular Pressure and Biomechanics of the Anterior Segment of the Eye during Water Drinking Test in Patients with XEN GelStent.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Little is known about short-term changes in intraocular pressure (IOP) following minimally invasive glaucoma surgeries, such as post-XEN GelStent implantation. Although the importance of corneal biomechanics in glaucoma diagnostics has been reported, little work has been conducted on postoperative description of changes when the structure of the anterior segment is altered. The aim of presented study was to evaluate the changes in the biomechanical parameters of the anterior segment of the post-XEN GelStent implantation eyes.

Patients and methods

This investigator-initiated, open-label, prospective, single-center study recruited patients. Patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) after XEN GelStent implantation versus matched POAG controls (considered as contr
