Comparison of surgical techniques for reducing intraocular pressure in glaucoma patients, highlighting implications for vision preservation.

This research examines the differences in surgically induced astigmatism between two surgical techniques for glaucoma treatment.
Compared two surgical methods: PreserFlo MicroShunt and trabeculectomy.
Measured surgically induced astigmatism at 3 months post-operation.
Assessed visual function and patient satisfaction following surgery.
PMS significantly minimizes surgically induced astigmatism compared to trabeculectomy.
Patients showed better preservation of visual function with the PMS.
Increased overall patient satisfaction reported with PMS outcomes.
