Comparison of trabeculectomy versus Ex-PRESS: 3-year follow-up.

Aims: To compare the outcomes of Ex-PRESS versus trabeculectomy at 3 years.

Methods: Consenting patients aged 18-85 years with medically uncontrolled open-angle glaucoma scheduled for trabeculectomy were included in this study. 63 subjects were randomised to undergo Ex-PRESS (32) or trabeculectomy (31).

Economic analysis of the Ex-PRESS miniature glaucoma device versus trabeculectomy.

Purpose: Ex-PRESS shunt is an alternative filtration procedure to trabeculectomy. This study aimed to compare the 1-year cost differences between the 2 operations.

Methods: Subjects were enrolled in a randomized controlled trial comparing Ex-PRESS to trabeculectomy.

Comparison of visual recovery following ex-PRESS versus trabeculectomy: results of a prospective randomized controlled trial.

Purpose: To compare the rate of visual recovery after Ex-PRESS implantation versus standard trabeculectomy.

Patients And Methods: Subjects enrolled in a prospective randomized controlled trial comparing Ex-PRESS to trabeculectomy were analyzed for postoperative changes in visual acuity (VA). Risk factors for visual loss (split fixation, cup-disc ratio, intraocular pressure, visual field mean deviation, and hypotony) were evaluated.
