Interventional approach needed in pseudophakic glaucoma patients

MIAMI — Combining minimally invasive glaucoma surgery with pharmaceutical drug delivery is an option to lower IOP in patients who are pseudophakic, according to a speaker.
At Sunshine Eye & Retina, Zarmeena Vendal, MD, urged ophthalmologists to avoid eye drops and incisional surgery when possible in patients who previously underwent cataract surgery. Instead, they should prioritize an interventional approach to treatment.
“My pseudophakic procedure of choice is often goniotomy, and that is with or without iDose (Glaukos),” Vendal said during a presentation.
