Purpose To evaluate the effectiveness of an ab interno subconjunctival gelatin implant as primary surgical intervention in reducing intraocular pressure (IOP) and IOP-lowering medication count in medically uncontrolled moderate primary openangle glaucoma (POAG). Methods In this prospective, non-randomized, open-label, multicenter, 2-year study, eyes with medicated baseline IOP 18-33 mmHg on 1-4 topical medications were implanted with (phaco + implant) or without (implant alone) phacoemulsification. Changes in mean IOP and medication count at months 12 (primary outcomes) and 24, clinical success rate (eyes [%] achieving 20% IOP reduction from baseline on the same or fewer medications without glaucoma-related secondary surgical intervention), intraoperative complications, and postoperative adverse events were assessed.
