Ocular Hypotension

The addition of iStent inject, an ab interno trabecular micro-bypass device, to cataract surgery reduced ocular hypotensive medication usage among patients with glaucoma, according to a study published in Ophthalmology Glaucoma.

Gonioscopy-assisted transluminal trabeculotomy effectively decreases IOP and medication burden in patients with steroid-induced glaucoma, a recent study suggests.

A multicenter study found the DE-128 microshunt implanted intraoperatively with 0.2 mg/mL concentration of mitomycin C effectively reduced IOP in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma not controlled with maximum tolerated glaucoma medications, Santen Pharmaceutical announced in a press release.
