Trabectome-phaco yields less refractive precision than phaco alone
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Combined Trabectome surgery and phacoemulsification yielded unforeseen refractive changes that were not predicted by current IOL calculation techniques, according to a scientific poster presented here.The retrospective study, presented by Douglas J. Rhee, MD, and colleagues at the American Glaucoma Society meeting, included 50 patients with primary open-angle glaucoma; 34 patients underwent combined phacoemulsification and Trabectome (NeoMedix) surgery, and 16 patients underwent phacoemulsification alone.
