Xen 63 versus Preserflo MicroShunt implant in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma

Abstract This study compared the efficacy safety profiles of the Xen 63 and Preserflo MicroShunt devices, both standalone, in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG). It is a retrospective and single-center study conducted on consecutive on patients with medically uncontrolled POAG who unde...

description Abstract This study compared the efficacy safety profiles of the Xen 63 and Preserflo MicroShunt devices, both standalone, in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG). It is a retrospective and single-center study conducted on consecutive on patients with medically uncontrolled POAG who underwent either a standalone Xen 63 or a standalone Preserflo and had a 12-month follow-up visit. The primary outcome was the mean IOP at month-12. Sixty eyes were included, 30 eyes in each Xen 63 and Preserflo groups, respectively. Preoperative IOP was significantly lowered from 20.8 ± 3.6 mmHg and 19.1 ± 3.8 mmHg to 14.2 ± 4.5 mmHg and 12.8 ± 2.3 mmHg in the Xen 63 and Preserflo groups, respectively (p < 0.0001 each, respectively); without significant differences between groups (p = 0.1346). Preoperative number of ocular-hypotensive drugs was significantly reduced from 2.3 ± 0.6 to 0.2 ± 06 drugs and from 2.3 ± 0.7 to 0.3 ± 0.6 drugs, in the Xen 63 and Preserflo groups, respectively (p < 0.0001 each, respectively); without significant differences between groups (p = 0.5212). Regarding safety, one (3.3%) eye in the Preserflo group required a device removal due to maculopathy. Three (10.0%) eyes in the Xen 63 group underwent needling. In conclusion, both the Xen 63 and the Preserflo devices effectively and safely reduced IOP and the requirement for IOP-lowering medications, exhibiting comparable IOP levels after 12 months.
