Eye surgery combination to lower pressure in glaucoma patients

This trial looks at how well three surgical procedures work together to treat open-angle glaucoma—a common eye condition where pressure inside the eye builds up and can damage vision. The combination includes cataract removal surgery, a procedure to open the eye's drainage system, and a tiny device called the Hydrus microstent. Researchers are reviewing medical records from patients who have already had all three procedures to see how well this combination lowers eye pressure.

Many people with glaucoma need to take multiple eye drops to control pressure, which can be inconvenient and may not always work well enough. This trial explores whether combining these three surgical approaches might be more effective at lowering eye pressure in a diverse group of patients.
