Comparing the efficacy of trabeculectomy and XEN gel microstent implantation for the treatment of primary open-angle glaucoma: a retrospective monocentric comparative cohort study

The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy and safety profile of XEN microstent implantation with trabeculectomy (TET) in a comparable group of open-angle glaucoma cases in a retrospective, monocentric, single-surgeon setting. Each treatment group consisted of 100 eyes of 100 patients. At reg...

Zusammenfassung:	The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy and safety profile of XEN microstent implantation with trabeculectomy (TET) in a comparable group of open-angle glaucoma cases in a retrospective, monocentric, single-surgeon setting. Each treatment group consisted of 100 eyes of 100 patients. At regular follow-up visits during the first 12 months after surgery, the following assessments were conducted and compared: intraocular pressure (IOP), number of IOP-lowering medications applied, best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and visual field testing. In both groups mean IOP was significantly reduced (p
