Early Results of Irrigating Goniectomy With TrabEx+: A Novel Device for the Treatment of Open-angle Glaucoma
Précis:
Irrigating goniectomy with the TrabEx+ device can lower intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with glaucoma, as a standalone procedure or combined with cataract surgery.
Purpose:
The aim was to describe the efficacy and safety of irrigating goniectomy performed using the TrabEx+ device, either as a standalone procedure or combined with cataract surgery, in eyes with medically treated open-angle glaucoma.
Methods:
A retrospective case series of eyes treated by a single surgeon at a single UK teaching hospital. Data was collected at follow-up visits at 1 week, 3, 6, 12, 18, and 24 months postoperatively. Primary outcomes included IOP and glaucoma medication reduction after surgery. Proportion of eyes achieving>20% IOP reduction, IOP
