Clinical results
Clinical studies have been conducted by various medical teams worldwide, providing consistent data on safety and efficacy
UCP has been used worldwide to treat more than 10 000 patients
Multiple UCP treatments can help to increase the overall procedure efficacy, up to 85% complete success after multiple treatments, on a complex population
The tolerance profile remains globally the same after several treatments
« Clinical studies have shown the overall procedure efficacy to improve after multiple UCP treatments » 1
« Repeated UCP has to be considered in patients with target IOP not reached, and in patients with early or delayed IOP increase» 2
No phthisis bulbi, induced cataract, or persistent hypotony were recorded in the published clinical studies
Low rate of vision-threatening complications (<2%), generally transient
No major change in BCVA (>1line) in 86% of surgery-naïve patient treated by UCP at 12 months
