Key Points

To assess the long-term effectiveness of the ab externo SIBS microshunt combined with phacoemulsification.
Examined outcomes at one year following surgery.
Measured intraocular pressure (IOP) and medication use.
Evaluated visual outcomes and reoperation rates.
Achieved reasonable rates of complete and qualified success at one year.
Demonstrated decreased intraocular pressure and reduced medication use.
Reported good visual outcomes with few reoperations.

Abstract

The ab externo SIBS microshunt demonstrates reasonable rates of complete and qualified success at 1 year, decreased IOP and medication use, good visual outcomes, and few reoperations when performed in combination with phacoemulsification.
