The SKIBI study: Comparative early outcomes of five minimally invasive glaucoma surgeries combined with cataract extraction in Indian patients with primary open-angle glaucoma

Key Points

• To evaluate early outcomes of five minimally invasive glaucoma surgeries when combined with cataract extraction in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma.
• Conducted a comparative study of five MIGS techniques
• Included Indian patients with varying severities of primary open-angle glaucoma
• Assessed intraocular pressure (IOP) and medication usage before and after the procedures
• MIGS combined with cataract surgery effectively reduced IOP
• All procedures demonstrated safety and efficacy across different POAG severities
• Variations in procedure choice were linked to patient-specific factors like cost and device availability
