Successful MIBS blebs (XEN/PreserFlo) show distinct AS-OCT features like thicker walls, low internal reflectivity, and cystic spaces, correlating with lower IOP. AS-OCT provides valuable prognostic insights for post-operative management.

Phaco-Hydrus in NTG eyes sustainedly reduced glaucoma medication burden over 36 months, without significant IOP reduction. This suggests its role is primarily medication reduction, not IOP lowering.

This meta-analysis found XEN45 stents for open-angle glaucoma frequently cause hypotony (20%) and require bleb needling (35%), highlighting common post-operative management needs despite overall safety.

The XEN45 stent effectively lowers IOP and reduces medication in open-angle glaucoma, but often requires postoperative needling, with transient hypotony being common.

This study found standalone XEN45 implantation lowers IOP and medication use more effectively than combined XEN45-phacoemulsification in early post-operative periods, guiding surgical choices for open-angle glaucoma.

This study found over half of global glaucoma cases are undetected, especially in Africa and Asia, highlighting an urgent need for improved screening to prevent irreversible blindness.
