Prcis: Deep sclerectomy (DS) and canaloplasty provide better intraocular pressure (IOP) control than viscocanalostomy. DS required less glaucoma medications but more interventions to reach target IOP.
Purpose: To compare real-world outcomes of three non-penetrating glaucoma surgery (NPGS) techniques.
Article Synopsis
- A study evaluated the effectiveness of the Lucidis hybrid intraocular lens in glaucoma patients undergoing cataract surgery and examined contrast sensitivity based on glaucoma control methods.
- The research included 28 patients with early to moderate primary open angle glaucoma, showing significant improvements in various visual acuities and high patient satisfaction (92.9%).
- Results indicated that the type of glaucoma control (medical or surgical) did not significantly impact contrast sensitivity, suggesting the Lucidis IOL is safe and effective for these patients.*

Article Synopsis
- * The study analyzed data from ten studies involving 1,833 eyes, finding no significant differences in success rates between PF and TB, but TB resulted in better IOP outcomes and reductions. However, PF showed less visual field progression and a lower risk of hypotony maculopathy.
- * The conclusion indicates that while TB is generally more effective for managing uncontrolled glaucoma, PF may be preferable for patients concerned about visual field changes, emphasizing strengths in subgroup analyses and mid-term follow-up
To investigate biomarkers of intra-ocular pressure (IOP) decrease after cataract surgery with trabecular washout in pseudo-exfoliative (PEX) glaucoma. A single-center observational prospective study in PEX glaucoma patients undergoing cataract surgery with trabecular washout (Goniowash) was performed from 2018 to 2021. Age, gender, visual acuity, IOP, endothelial cell count, central corneal thickness, medications, were collected over 16-month follow-up.

However, NPDS achieved a superior safety profile in terms of best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) recovery and rates of post-surgical complications.
Objective: Comparing the surgical outcomes of 2 surgical techniques: NPDS and PDS.
