Background: Retrospective, consecutive case series to evaluate the implantation of two second-generation trabecular microbypass stents in combination with cataract surgery in a real-world, clinical setting.
Methods: The series included 56 eyes implanted with the iStent inject device with phacoemulsification. The series consisted of eyes with primary open-angle glaucoma ( = 52) and pseudoexfoliative glaucoma ( = 4).

Purpose: To evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of an iStent trabecular microbypass stent in combination with cataract surgery in pseudoexfoliative glaucoma (PXG).
Setting: Private practice, Sioux Falls, South Dakota, USA.
Design: Retrospective, consecutive case series.
Importance: Use of the trabecular micro-bypass stent with cataract surgery is well established to be safe and effective in primary open-angle glaucoma. This is the first study to exclusively evaluate use of the device in pigmentary glaucoma.
Background: This study aimed to investigate the safety and efficacy of a trabecular micro-bypass stent in combination with cataract surgery in pigmentary glaucoma.
