Interventions
Trabectome removes an arc of trabecular meshwork and inner wall of Schlemm's canal to enhance aqueous outflow through natural drainage pathways. Trabectome will be done first, followed by cataract surgery because Trabectome requires a clear view through the cornea using a goniolens, and this view may be compromised after cataract surgery.
Trabeculectomy bypasses the normal aqueous outflow channels of the eye and creates an external filtration pathway (called a filtering bleb) for aqueous to drain and be reabsorbed back into the circulation. Mitomycin C is an agent used during this procedure to decrease scar formation around the new passage. Cataract surgery will be done first, followed by Trabeculectomy with Mitomycin C.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Age 40-85 years
- Open angle glaucoma (including pseudo exfoliative glaucoma)
- Open angles (≥ Shaffer grade II)
- Inadequately controlled IOP requiring surgical intervention
- Visually significant cataract
- Willing to complete quality of life questionnaires
- Capable of informed consent and available for at least 1 year follow-up
You may not qualify if:
- Any form of angle closure glaucoma
- Secondary open angle glaucomas
- Absence of clear angle landmarks on gonioscopy
- Other ocular disease that may affect assessments of visual acuity, visual field, or accurate tonometry
- Previous angle surgery or filtering procedure
- Steroid use within the preceding 3 months
- Presence of significant co-morbidities
