Abstract

Purpose: This study investigates the long-term intraocular pressure (IOP) lowering potential, risk profile and success rate of a triple procedure comprising phacoemulsification, trabecular aspiration and trabectome (Microsurgical Technology, Redmond, WA, USA) for treating exfoliation glaucoma. Methods: A total of 117 eyes of 117 patients with exfoliation glaucoma underwent a combination of phacoemulsification, trabectome and trabecular aspiration. They were followed up for up to 7 years. The success rates were designated according to criteria based on the Tube versus Trabeculectomy Study and the World Glaucoma Association guidelines: A (no resurgery); B/C (IOP < 21/18 mmHg, no resurgery, IOP reduction > 20%); D (IOP <= 15 mmHg, no resurgery, IOP reduction > 40%). Results: The mean follow-up period was 46 months. IOP showed a 38% reduction from 24.5 +/- 6.1 to 15.2 +/- 3.6 mmHg (p< 0.0001). The Medication Score decreased by 23% from 2.2 +/- 0.9 to 1.7 +/- 1.0 (p< 0.0001). The success rates were 87, 76, 74 and 38% according to criteria A, B, C and D. In eyes with an initial IOP of >30 mmHg, a 57% reduction from 34.2 +/- 4.4 to 14.8 +/- 3.2 mmHg (p< 0.0001) was observed, and the success rates were 91, 91, 82 and 59% for criteria A, B, C and D, respectively. Discussion: We conclude that the triple procedure may effectively lower IOP in patients with exfoliation glaucoma over a mean follow-up period of 46 months without significant side effects. Therefore, the triple procedure may serve as first-line surgery for patients with exfoliation and cataract, even with a high initial IOP.
