SAN FRANCISCO — In this Healio Video Perspective from the AAO meeting, Fritz H. Hengerer, MD, PhD, discusses the 7-year efficacy of cataract surgery with iStent inject and implantation of the Glaukos device as a stand-alone procedure.
There was a lowering of more than 60% in the number of medications needed to reduce IOP in both groups, Hengerer said.
Next year, 9-year data will be available, “and what we can assume is that even visual fields are stable over time,” he said.
