INTRODUCTION: To describe the results of iStent METHODS: A retrospective, single-center case series that recruited patients with open-angle glaucoma (OAG), uncontrolled IOP (defined as ≥18 mmHg), and who are receiving 1-4 glaucoma medications were implanted the iStent RESULTS: Eighty-eight eyes from 88 patients, aged 57.6 ± 9.8 years, were included. Ten eyes underwent a subsequent glaucoma procedure during follow-up and were excluded from the analysis. The mean IOP (mmHg) was reduced from 20.54 ± 1.42 at baseline to 15.99 ± 1.98 and 16.15 ± 2.21 (n = 78, p <
0.001) at the 12- and 24-month follow-up, respectively, and the mean number of medications was reduced from 2.35 ± 0.70 to 1.31 ± 0.80 (p <
0.001) at 24 months. Of those eyes, 59% had ≥20% reduction in IOP at 24 months, 91% had an IOP ≤18 mmHg at 24 months, and 71.8% were receiving fewer medications. At 24 months, 14.1% of eyes were medication-free, compared to none at baseline. No serious intraoperative or postoperative adverse events occurred. DISCUSSION: iStent
