Summary

This study compares two surgical options—iStent inject and goniotomy with Kahook Dual Blade—performed during cataract surgery in 100 people with open-angle glaucoma. The goal is to see which method better lowers eye pressure and reduces the number of daily eye drops needed. Both procedures aim to improve fluid drainage in the eye.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: iStent inject (tiny implant) and Kahook Dual Blade (surgical device)
What this could lead to: If successful, this could show which surgical approach better controls eye pressure and reduces the need for daily eye drops in glaucoma patients.
What could go wrong: This is a small, early-stage study (100 participants) comparing two existing procedures, so results may not apply to all patients. Both surgeries carry risks like infection or temporary vision changes.
