Glaucoma is a leading cause of irreversible visual function loss worldwide [All commonly performed filtering glaucoma surgeries are capable of lowering the IOP. Over the last decade, several new minimally invasive glaucoma surgeries have been introduced [Corneal endothelial cell loss is a known consequence of filtering and non-filtering glaucoma surgeries, and it can reach up to − 18.6%, 2 years after surgery [The scientific literature provides limited data on the effect of XEN45 procedures on corneal endothelial cell survival. Hence, the present longitudinal study aims to investigate the change in endothelial cell count in patients after XEN45 solo surgery (solo surgery group) and patients after combined XEN45/cataract surgeries (combined surgery group) over an evaluation period of 5 years.
