Study shows that phaco does not contribute to IOP reduction in Trabectome surgery
In a study that was just published, we applied a vigorous, automated statistical matching method, called coarsened exact matching, or CEM, to create a highly balanced comparison. This allowed us to delineate any effect of phacoemulsification on the IOP reduction of NeoMedix Trabectome surgery, a procedure that is performed at our center at a high volume. We found that the IOP decrease is equally good in patients with or without same-session cataract removal.The background of this study is that patients with glaucoma commonly have cataracts or will develop them twice (Read more...)
