COILEH: Comparison Of iStent to Laser in Exfoliation Glaucoma Helsinki Study Group
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The purpose of the study is to investigate the efficacy of an iStent trabecular microbypass stent compared to selective laser trabeculoplasty in combination with cataract surgery in eyes with exfoliation glaucoma (EXF)

Detailed Description
Exfoliation glaucoma patients with significant cataracts are being informed about the study and potential risks, all patients giving written informed consent will undergo screening to determine eligibility for study entry. Patient´s glaucoma is classified into stable or unstable glaucoma groups with their current glaucoma medication. Patients meeting the eligibility requirements of stable glaucoma will be randomised to cataract surgery combined with iStent (65 patients), II SLT (65 patients) or III cataract surgery alone (25 patients) and patient with unstable glaucoma will be randomised to cataract surgery combined with I iStent (65 patients), II SLT (65 patients).

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Group I: Change in the number of IOP lowering medications compared to baseline [12 months]
Accountability of IOP lowering medications used by the patient
- Group II: Change in the IOP compared to baseline [12 months]
IOP measured by Goldmann aplanation tonometry (GAT)
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Group I: Change in the IOP compared to baseline [12 months]
IOP measured by GAT
- Group II: Change in the number of IOP lowering medications compared to baseline [12 months]
Accountability of IOP lowering medications used by the patient
Other Outcome Measures
- Group I and II: Number of patients with secondary glaucoma surgery [10 years]
Number of patients with secondary glaucoma surgery at 10 years from baseline is counted
