Abstract Background The aim of this study is to review the outcomes of canaloplasty versus canaloplasty combined with phacoemulsification in a retrospective cohort study and to evaluate the efficacy of these methods in terms of intraocular pressure (IOP) lowering effect, postoperative complications and additional glaucoma surgery or reintroduction of medical therapy over a 12-month follow-up. Methods In a retrospective cohort study, 602 eyes with primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) were treated with canaloplasty or canaloplasty combined with phacoemulsification. The results were evaluated separately in two main groups; group A canaloplasty (262 eyes) and group B canaloplasty combined with phaco (322 eyes). Each group was then subdivided into three additional groups according to the severity of glaucoma. The criteria for successful treatment were evaluated between three IOP ranges; IOP ≤ 16 mmHg, 18 mmHg and 21 mmHg. Complete success was considered the percentage of eyes reaching target IOP with no medication and partial success with medication. Groups A and B subgroups were compared using the Kaplan Meier test. Mean IOP, reduction of antiglaucoma agents and additional IOP lowering methods were also evaluated. The follow-up time was 12 months. Statistical significance was set at p |
