PurposeTo achieve a highly balanced comparison of trabecular bypass stenting (IS2, iStent inject)with ab interno trabeculectomy (T, Trabectome) by exact matching. In a similar study, IS1 (1st generation iStent) had shown a loss of effect at 6 months. Methods53 IS2 eyes were matched to 3446 T eyes. Patients were matched using exact matching by baseline IOP, the number of glaucoma medications, and glaucoma type and using nearest neighbor matching by age. Individuals without a close match were exc...
