Long Term Outcome of Combined Phacoemulsification and Excisional Goniotomy With the Kahook Dual Blade
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Purpose: Characterize changes in intraocular pressure (IOP), IOP-lowering medications, and visual acuity (VA) through 3 years in patients undergoing combined phacoemulsification and excisional goniotomy with the Kahook Dual Blade (phaco-KDB), with simultaneous goniosynechialysis in cases of angle-closure glaucoma, by a single surgeon (A.H.) in King Fahd Hospital of the University, Dammam, Saudi Arabia.
Methods: Prospective, non-comparative, uncontrolled, non-randomized interventional case series. Consecutive patients with medically-treated glaucoma and visually-significant cataract underwent combined surgery. Subgroup analysis of glaucoma subtypes was performed.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Intraocular pressure [36 months]
Characterize changes in intraocular pressure (IOP) in mmHg goldmann applanation tonometry each visit in the clinic after the combined phacoemulsification and excisional goniotomy with the kahook dual blade.
- Intraocular pressure lowering medications [36 months]
count the change in number of Intraocular pressure lowering medications each visit in the clinic after the combined phacoemulsification and excisional goniotomy with the kahook dual blade
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Visual acuity [36 months]
Characterize visual acuity (VA) using logMAR chart, each visit in clinic post undergoing combined phacoemulsification and excisional goniotomy with the kahook dual blade.
