| Popis: | AIM: To evaluate the short-term efficacy of XEN45 Gel Stent (XEN) implantation for primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) and pseudoexfoliation (PEX) glaucoma across two university eye clinics, aiming to assess the impact of varying center-specific protocols during the first postoperative year. METHODS: We retrospectively examined 282 patients (183 in center 1, 99 in center 2), who underwent XEN microstent implantation for uncontrolled POAG or PEX glaucoma. Parameters including intraocular pressure (IOP), IOP-lowering medication count, best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), and postoperative complications were evaluated over 12mo. RESULTS: Post-implantation, center 1 reported a mean IOP reduction from 25.3±7.4 to 14.1±4.7 mm Hg (P |
