Comparison of minimally invasive glaucoma surgery with trabecular micro-bypass stent and microhook trabeculotomy performed in conjunction with cataract surgery.

Aim: To evaluate the effectuality and safety of cataract surgery combined with either trabeculotomy by the microhook (µLOT) or a single iStent trabecular bypass implantation (iStent) in eyes with cataract and mild-to-moderate glaucoma.

Methods: This study enrolled subjects with mild-to-moderate open angle glaucoma with visually significant cataract who used two or more ophthalmic antiglaucoma agents between 60 and 90y of age. Patients underwent cataract surgery cooperated with either implantation of an iStent (iStent-phaco) or excisional goniotomy with the µLOT (µLOT-phaco).

Changes in Ocular Surface Characteristics after Switching from Benzalkonium Chloride-Preserved Latanoprost to Preservative-Free Tafluprost or Benzalkonium Chloride-Preserved Tafluprost.

Purpose: The aim of the present study was to examine the effects of switching from Latanoprost ophthalmic solution containing a preservative to preservative-free Tafluprost ophthalmic solution or Tafluprost containing a preservative on ocular surfaces.

Materials And Methods: Forty patients (40 eyes) with glaucoma (mean age: 62.0 ± 10.
