Comparison of 12-month surgical outcomes of ab interno trabeculotomy with phacoemulsification between spatula-shaped and dual-blade microhooks.

Ab interno trabeculotomy with phacoemulsification was effective in lowering IOP both with spatula-shaped and with double-blade microhooks. At 12 months more medications were used postoperatively in the spatula-shaped microhook group; however, the reductions in the medication scores from baseline were statistically significant in both groups.
