Eight-year follow-up of excimer laser trabeculostomy alone and combined with phacoemulsification in patients with open-angle glaucoma.

Purpose: To describe the 8-year results of excimer laser trabeculostomy (ELT) alone and ELT in conjunction with phacoemulsification (phaco).

Setting: University hospital.

Design: Retrospective review.

Mitomycin-augmented non-penetrating deep sclerectomy: preoperative gonioscopy and postoperative perimetric, tonometric and medication trends.

Background/aims: Non-penetrating deep sclerectomy (NPDS) can enhance drainage of aqueous humour without disrupting the trabecular endothelial layer, reducing risks of postoperative hypotony and hyphema. This study explores associations of angle morphology with surgical efficacy in eyes with open and obstructed angles.

Methods: Eighty-nine consecutive eyes undergoing successful NPDS (non-implant, with 0.
