MicroShunt similarly reduces IOP in phakic, pseudophakic eyes, and when combined with phaco
COPENHAGEN — In glaucomatous eyes implanted with the InnFocus MicroShunt, there was no significant difference in IOP outcomes whether the eyes were phakic or pseudophakic, or when implantation in phakic eyes was combined with phacoemulsification and IOL placement, according to a study presented here.“This procedure is very simple with immediate and safe reduction of IOP,” Isabella Riss, MD, said at the European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons meeting, where she reported 2-year results of a study comparing outcomes after MicroShunt placement in the three groups of eyes.
