Prediction of MIGS outcomes on second eyes using first eyes' response.

Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed the outcomes of cataract extraction and microinvasive glaucoma surgery in one eye and how these outcomes predicted results in the second eye for 78 patients.
- The research found a modest correlation in intraocular pressure changes between the two eyes, with a stronger correlation in the use of glaucoma medications, especially at the 6-month mark.
- Patients who had successful surgical outcomes in the first eye were significantly more likely to experience successful outcomes in the second eye, highlighting the predictive relationship of first-eye success.*
Prcis: Compared with phacoemulsification and microstent alone, we observed that phacoemulsification with combined microstent and canaloplasty resulted in a significantly greater reduction in glaucoma medications while maintaining similar rates of intraocular pressure reduction and low complications.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare the outcomes of phacoemulsification combined with Hydrus Microstent (Alcon Inc.) implantation alone or in combination with canaloplasty (OMNI Surgical System, Sight Sciences Inc.
