Alcon Hydrus Stent Implantation - Long Term Follow up After 8 Years

Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz200 enrolled

Overview

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term effectiveness and safety of the Hydrus implant combined with concomitant phacoemulsification for lowering intraocular pressure (IOP).Glaucoma patients often have high intraocular pressures (IOP) and need long-term IOP control to prevent loss of visual function and blindness. To date, data on the results of up to 5 years after Hydrus implantation have been published. However, to our knowledge, long-term data over a longer period of time are not yet available. The implementation of this study with a follow-up of the patients after ≥ 8 years (up to 14 years) represents the longest follow-up period to date with a cohort of up to 202 eyes in Mainz, Germany. It enables the collection of "real world data" ≥ 8 years after the Hydrus implantation and provides information about the current status of glaucoma and the effect of the Hydrus implant over this long period (including IOP status, IOP-lowering interventions that have taken place in the meantime, the status of the IOP-lowering medications used, ocular safety, quality of life etc.).

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

• Mean non washed out IOP (mmHg) reduction after 8 years of follow-up in glaucoma patients undergoing concomitant implantation of the Hydrus implant and phacoemulsification

• Assess the mean IOP(mmHg) after 8 years of follow-up in glaucoma patients undergoing concomitant implantation of the Hydrus implant and phacoemulsification

Time frame: 8 years

Secondary Outcomes

Effect of IOP lowering medications in those Glaucoma patients whom underwent combined Hydrus stent implantation and Phacoemulsification.

• Medication counts during 8-years of follow-up up in glaucoma patients undergoing concomitant implantation of the Hydrus implant and phacoemulsification

Time frame: 8 years

Rate of Progression of Mean defect in visual field examination in Glaucoma patients undergoing concomitant implantation of the Hydrus implant and phacoemulsification

Rate of Progression of Mean defect (reduction of MD per year)

Time frame: 8 years

Numbers of IOP lowering secondary surgical interventions during 8 years of follow-up in glaucoma patients undergoing concomitant implantation of the Hydrus implant and phacoemulsification.

Surgical interventions in the follow-up period will be recorded.

Time frame: 8 years

Differentiation of IOP reduction and safety between eyes of the patients after 8-years of follow-up (in subjects who received the Hydrus implant in both eyes)

subjects who received combined surgery in both eyes will be compared for efficacy and safety

Time frame: 8 years
