The Long-term Safety and Efficacy of a Modified Suprachoroidal Silicone Tube (SST) Shunt in Patients with Primary Open-angle Glaucoma (POAG) and Pseudo-exfoliative Glaucoma (PXG) Over an Extended Follow-up Period
The goal of this observational study is to evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of a modified suprachoroidal silicone tube (SST) shunt in treating patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) and pseudo-exfoliative glaucoma (PXG).
The main questions it aims to answer are:
Does the SST shunt maintain intraocular pressure (IOP) reduction over an extended follow-up period? What is the effect of the SST shunt on endothelial cell count (ECC) and overall corneal health?
Participants will:
Undergo intraocular pressure (IOP) measurements Have their endothelial cell count (ECC) evaluated Complete assessments of best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) Be assessed for C/D ratio Be monitored for adverse events or shunt-related complications over time
Inclusion: Previously were treated with Suprachoroidal silicone tube shunt; Willing and able to participate in this cross sectional observational follow up; Participant capable of giving informed consent.
Exclusion: Condition that could impact the ability of the participant to attend a follow-up visit as per the discretion of the investigator.
