Xen45 Gel Stent implant: patient reported outcomes.

Abstract:

:Our aim was to report quality of life (QOL) outcomes following Xen45 Gel Stent implantation surgery in patients suffering with primary open angle glaucoma (POAG). A retrospective analysis was performed on all patients who had Xen45 implantation surgery during a 2-year period (Jun, 2016-Apr, 2018). Of 52 consecutive patients were included with a total of 58 eyes being operated on. QOL was compared both pre-operatively and 6 weeks post-operatively using the GQL-15 questionnaire. There was an overall improvement in GQL-15 summary scores for our patient group. All item scores showed either no change or some degree of improvement. The Xen45 Gel Stent Implant is a promising new intervention which has shown improved QOL scores in our patient group. Further, higher power studies are now needed to compare the Xen45 to trabeculectomy (TE), which is currently the gold standard.
