Description
Summary:Purpose: To evaluate the long-term efficacy and safety of the modified canaloplasty technique with additional suprachoroidal drainage in patients with pseudoexfoliation glaucoma. Methods: This retrospective clinical trial included 131 patients with pseudoexfoliation glaucoma who underwent canaloplasty with suprachoroidal drainage (scD). One hundred and eleven of 131 patients underwent the follow-up examination after 48 months. Primary endpoints were the pressure-lowering and drug-sparing effect as well as the success rates. Secondary endpoints were intra- and postoperative complications and the occurrence of secondary surgical interventions. Results: The IOP was reduced by 45.8% after 12 months (from baseline 23.4 ± 5.1 mmHg to 12.7 ± 2.2 mmHg) and by 45.1% after four years (12.8 ± 2.2 mmHg) (p
