Phacoemulsification and iStent placement:

Here is a video demonstrating phacoemulsification with iStent placement in a patient with mild glaucoma and visually significant cataract. Intraocular pressure was above target levels despite 2 IOP lowering medications. The phacofractis technique used in this case is stop-and-chop. The iStent is FDA approved for placement at the time of cataract surgery for patients with mild to moderate glaucoma. Post-operative IOP typically ends up in the mid to high teens, often on fewer medications than pre-op.
