A Prospective Analysis of iStent Inject Microstent Positioning: Schlemm Canal Dilatation and Intraocular Pressure Correlations

Conclusions: This study highlights the value of AS-OCT in exploring the positioning of trabecular bypass devices such as the iStent inject. Our study shows that more microstents than suggested by gonioscopy could be completely burrowed within the trabeculum. It also suggests that the surgical outcomes of cataract surgery combined with iStent inject implantation may be connected to the amplitude of device protrusion within the anterior chamber as well as the postoperative dimensions of the SC.
