Study Suprachoroidal shunt with topical travoprost reduces IOP
WASHINGTON — Early study findings suggest that implantation of a suprachoroidal stent significantly reduces IOP and medication burden in phakic patients with open-angle glaucoma, according to a presenter here. In this study of the suprachoroidal shunt implantation with travoprost, there were substantial reductions in pressure, with all eyes achieving a pressure of 18 mm Hg or lower at 1 and 2 years, and most eyes achieving 15 mm Hg at 1 and 2 years,” Jonathan S. Myers, MD, said at the American Glaucoma Society meeting.
