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

An Ambispective, Monocentric, Non-interventional Long-term Follow-up Trial to Evaluate the Effectiveness and Safety of the Hydrus Implant Combined With Concomitant Phacoemulsification for Lowering Intraocular Pressure (IOP) in Glaucoma Patients

About This Trial

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.).
