Key Points

This research aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a combined procedure for managing pseudoexfoliation glaucoma and IOL subluxation.
Performed IOL extraction using the Yamane Technique.
Conducted gonioscopy-assisted transluminal trabeculotomy (GATT).
Assessed intraocular pressure (IOP) changes post-intervention.
Demonstrated significant reduction in IOP following the combined procedure.
Found high efficacy in IOL exchange with minimal complications.
Maintained safety profile allowing for future surgeries.

Implication

Combined techniques reduce IOP and allow IOL exchange in patients with glaucoma, suggesting a safer option for treatment.

Abstract

Combined flanged intrascleral IOL fixation and GATT is an effective, minimally invasive strategy with an acceptable safety profile for IOP reduction and IOL exchange in patients with dislocated IOLs and pseudoexfoliative glaucoma, with the advantage of preserving the conjunctiva for future interventions.
