ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To evaluate the outcomes of combined canaloplasty and trabeculotomy with phacoemulsification for primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG).METHODS:
In this retrospective, consecutive, single-surgeon case series, we analyzed the pre- and postoperative measurements of PACG patients who had the procedure. Adverse events were recorded. The main outcomes were mean intraocular pressure (IOP) in each quartile of the follow-up year and the number of IOP-lowering medications the patients were on by the end of each quartile compared to their baseline values.RESULTS:
A total of 46 eyes from 39 PACG patients were included. The preoperative IOP and glaucoma medications taken were 19.33±6.03 mm Hg and 1.80±1.39, respectively (N=46). Postoperative IOP means (mm Hg) in the subsequent four quartiles were 14.00±3.33 (N=44), 13.44±2.83 (N=32), 14.38±2.39 (N=16), and 14.92±2.90 (N=13) (p<0.0001). The mean number of meds was 0.32±0.80, 0.22±0.42, 0.59±0.80, and 0.08±0.28 in each respective quartile (p<0.0001), while the median was 0 across all quartiles.CONCLUSIONS:
Combining the OMNI surgical system with phacoemulsification led to substantial reductions in mean IOP and the number of IOP-lowering medications when compared to baseline measurements.
