Overview

Comparison of surgical techniques for reducing intraocular pressure in glaucoma patients, highlighting implications for vision preservation.

Key Points

  • This research examines the differences in surgically induced astigmatism between two surgical techniques for glaucoma treatment.
  • Compared two surgical methods: PreserFlo MicroShunt and trabeculectomy.
  • Measured surgically induced astigmatism at 3 months post-operation.
  • Assessed visual function and patient satisfaction following surgery.
  • PMS significantly minimizes surgically induced astigmatism compared to trabeculectomy.
  • Patients showed better preservation of visual function with the PMS.
  • Increased overall patient satisfaction reported with PMS outcomes.
