In this presentation from AAO 2016, Richard A. Lewis MD, discusses the following:
- Suprachoroidal (supraciliary) reduces IOP more effectively than cataract surgery alone.
- Microstenting markedly reduces glaucoma medication use through postoperative 2 years.
- No vision-threatening AEs are related to microstent intervention.
- The suprachoroidal space has great promise in managing elevated IOP.
The presentation was followed by an interactive panel discussion. This video was co-sponsored by the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery (ASCRS).
