Ventura-Abreu N, García-Feijoo J, Pazos M, et al. - In this single-center longitudinal, randomized controlled trial, researchers sought to assess the effectiveness and safety profile of Kahook Dual Blade (KDB) ab interno trabeculectomy combined with phacoemulsification vs stand-alone conventional cataract surgery. Patients over the age of 18 who had a cataract and open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension were eligible to take part. A total of 42 eyes from 33 patients were randomly assigned to one of two groups: combined cataract and KDB or cataract alone. In patients with well-controlled, mild-to-moderate glaucoma, adding ab interno trabeculectomy with KDB to phacoemulsification may not be more effective than phacoemulsification alone in reaching mid-teens IOP values. Both procedures had comparable safety profiles.
