Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

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.

Methods: 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.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* the presence of significant cataract interfering with vision (visual acuity ≤ 0.5) in the presence POAG.
* if cataract was associated with uncontrolled glaucoma, (IOP \> 21 mmHg despite maximally tolerated medical therapy)
* if the IOP was ≤ 21 mmHg with use of at least two antiglaucoma drugs with medication intolerance
* poor patient compliance
* patients could not attend medical supervision
* patients had visual field deterioration.

Exclusion Criteria

* closed-angle glaucoma
* other types of open angle glaucoma (OAG), e.g. pigmentary glaucoma, inflammatory glaucoma or neovascular glaucoma,
* previous ocular trauma or surgery
* lens subluxation
* any eye diseases affecting the vision, e.g. anterior uveitis
* if there was a large perforation of the Descemet's membrane with iris prolapse during surgery (cases with microperforation, which is defined as small perforation with no associated iris prolapse, occurring during surgery were not excluded) intraoperative complications that might affect the IOP, e.g. vitreous loss.
