Can a contact lens sensor predict the success of trabectome surgery?

PURPOSE: We examined whether a contact lens sensor (CLS) is useful for the postoperative evaluation of trabectome surgery. We investigated the correlations between the outcomes of trabectome surgery and the output of a CLS. METHODS: We examined 24 consecutive eyes of patients with pseudo-exfoliation glaucoma. In each eye, the intraocular pressure (IOP) fluctuations over 24 h were measured with the SENSIMED Triggerfish CLS before and at 3 months after the trabectome surgery. We divided the patients into success (n = 12 eyes) and failure (n = 12 eyes) groups; success was defined as a postoperative IOP level ≤ 21 mmHg plus an IOP reduction ≥ 20% relative to the preoperative IOP value with or without anti-glaucoma medications. We investigated CLS parameters that correlate with surgical outcomes by performing a Cox hazard regression analysis. We determined the maximum value, minimum value, and range of IOP fluctuation as CLS parameters. RESULTS: The mean follow-up period was 38.0 ± 3.0 months. The success rate was 50%. The postoperative range of IOP fluctuation during the nocturnal period with the CLS was significantly correlated with the surgical results (p = 0.024). CONCLUSIONS: A smaller range of IOP fluctuation was significantly correlated with better surgical outcomes. We were able to predict the surgical success after trabectome surgery at 3 months using the CLS. Thus, CLS results could be a new surgical evaluation parameter.
