Outcomes of Ab Interno 63 µm vs. 45 µm XEN® Gel Stent in Open-Angle Glaucoma: A Five-Year Follow-Up Study
: The XEN63 implantation was associated with higher long-term success rates and also with a higher incidence of early postoperative hypotony. These findings indicate a trade-off between efficacy and safety and suggest that careful patient selection and postoperative management are essential when considering larger lumen subconjunctival drainage devices.
