Significance: The iStent is a popular device designed for glaucoma treatment, functioning by creating an artificial fluid pathway in the trabecular meshwork (TM) to drain aqueous humor. The assessment of iStent implantation surgery is clinically important. However, current tools offer limited information.

Minimally invasive glaucoma surgery has expanded the surgical treatment options in glaucoma, particularly when combined with cataract surgery. It is clinically relevant to understand the associated postoperative changes in biomechanical properties because they are influential on the measurement of intraocular pressure (IOP) and play an important role in the pathogenesis of open-angle glaucoma (OAG). This retrospective case-control study included OAG patients who underwent cataract surgery combined with microhook ab interno trabeculotomy (µLOT group: 53 eyes of 36 patients) or iStent implantation (iStent group: 59 eyes of 37 patients) and 62 eyes of 42 solo cataract patients without glaucoma as a control group.

After a long period of little change, glaucoma surgery has experienced a dramatic rise in the number of possible procedures in the last two decades. Glaucoma filtering surgeries with mitomycin C and glaucoma drainage devices remain the standard of surgical care. Other newer surgeries, some of which are minimally or microinvasive glaucoma surgeries, target existing trabecular outflow, enhance suprachoroidal outflow, create subconjunctival blebs, or reduce aqueous production.

Microinvasive glaucoma surgery has gained popularity over the past decade. It can be performed using three different mechanisms. In the present review, we focused on Schlemm's canal (SC)-based surgery, which increases aqueous humor (AH) outflow into the aqueous veins by either removal of the trabecular meshwork (TM) or an increase in the tension in the TM.
