Schlemm’s Canal Microstent for IOP Reduction in POAG & Cataract In a pivotal clinical trial conducted by Ivantis, researchers compared cataract surgery with implantation of Ivantis’ Hydrus Schlemm’s canal microstent and cataract surgery alone to reduce intraocular pressure and medication use after 24 months, as part of the prospective, multicenter, single-masked, randomized controlled HORIZON trial.
They included subjects with concomitant primary open-angle glaucoma, visually significant cataract and washed-out modified diurnal IOP (MDIOP) between 22 and 34 mmHg. |
