This prospective, interventional, randomized clinical study was done at Alpha Vision Center, Zagazig, Egypt. Patients with coexisting cataract and glaucoma were randomized to receive either phaco-viscocanalostomy (Phacovisco group) or phaco-viscocanalostomy with Ologen® implant (OloPhacovisco group) . Follow-up period was 2 years. Nd:YAG laser goniopuncture was done in cases where the intraocular pressure (IOP) was elevated above 21 mmHg after discontinuation of corticosteroid eye drops at any follow-up visit.
Our hypothesis is that using Ologen® implant as a spacer in the subscleral reservoir in phaco-viscocanalostomy reduces fibrosis and increase the success rate of this operation
Full description
Background: To study the efficacy of the biodegradable collagen implant Ologen® as an adjuvant in phaco-viscocanalostomy in patients with coexisting cataract and primary open angle glaucoma.
