Effectiveness of Microinvasive Glaucoma Surgery in the United States: Intelligent Research in Sight Registry Analysis 2013-2019.

In current United States clinical practice, MIGS has substantially lower reoperation rates when performed with phacoemulsification, especially for ECP and goniotomy or canaloplasty.

Racial Disparities in Glaucoma Vision Outcomes and Eye Care Utilization: An IRIS Registry Analysis.

We found that significant disparities in US eye care exist with Black, Hispanic, and Native American patients having worse vision outcomes and less disease monitoring.

Effectiveness of Trabeculectomy and Tube Shunt with versus without Concurrent Phacoemulsification: Intelligent Research in Sight Registry Longitudinal Analysis.

Reoperation rates within the first 3 years after trabeculectomy and GDD with and without phacoemulsification were low.

Treatment Patterns of Childhood Glaucoma in the United States: Analysis of IRISRegistry (Intelligent Research in Sight).

More than half of the eyes with MG had a pre-existing glaucoma diagnosis.

Factors Associated With Gonioscopy Coding Before Glaucoma Procedures in the IRISRegistry.

Preoperative gonioscopy use and/or coding is lower than expected, given current guidelines. Among glaucoma procedures, ab interno MIGS were associated with lower preoperative gonioscopy utilization.
