Ocular Surface Disease Changes After iStent or iStent Inject Implantation With Phacoemulsification
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This prospective interventional single-arm trial evaluates measures changes in ocular surface disease parameters in eyes with mild to moderate open-angle glaucoma (OAG) on 1-4 glaucoma medications who undergo phacoemulsification and trabecular micro-bypass stent(s) implantation (iStent or iStent inject).

Detailed Description
This study enrolled eyes with mild to moderate open-angle glaucoma (OAG) on 1-4 glaucoma medications who were scheduled to undergo phacoemulsification cataract extraction and trabecular micro-bypass stent(s) implantation (iStent or iStent inject). Study participation entailed measurement of key ocular surface data through 3 months postoperative including Ocular Surface Disease Index score (OSDI), corneal/conjunctival staining (Oxford Schema), fluorescein tear break-up time (FTBUT), and conjunctival hyperemia (Efron Scale); these measures were collected alongside standard postoperative glaucoma evaluations such as number of glaucoma medications and intraocular pressure (IOP).
Study Design
Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Ocular Surface Disease post-stenting Eyes will undergo phacoemulsification cataract surgery combined with iStent or iStent inject implantation according to standard clinical practice. From baseline through 3 months postoperatively, participants will complete subjective and objective assessments of ocular surface disease. |
Device: iStent or iStent inject implantation with concomitant cataract surgery
Standard phacoemulsification cataract surgery followed by ab interno implantation of either iStent or iStent inject trabecular micro-bypass stent(s). Preoperatively and at specified visits through 3 months postoperative, patients will complete evaluations of their ocular surface disease (specifically OSDI score, hyperemia, corneal/conjunctival staining, and tear break-up time).
