Sight Sciences Announces Publication of a Systematic Literature Review and Meta-Analysis Showing OMNI® Surgical System Achieves Clinically Significant, Long-Term Reductions in IOP and Medication Use
Globenewswire· 2025-09-17 11:00
Core Viewpoint - The systematic review and meta-analysis published in The European Journal of Ophthalmology indicates that the OMNI Surgical System is a beneficial treatment option for patients with primary open-angle glaucoma due to its favorable long-term safety and efficacy profiles [1][3]. Group 1: Study Overview - The study included 29 publications, assessing the OMNI system and its predecessors, Visco360 and Trab360, for treating open-angle glaucoma [2][4]. - A total of 2,379 eyes were analyzed across 22 unique studies, focusing on both clinical and economic outcomes [4]. Group 2: Key Findings - Approximately 89% of patients achieved treatment success (IOP reduction ≥20% from baseline) after 6, 12, and 24 months [5]. - After 6 and 12 months, 66–68% of patients remained medication-free [5]. - Mean intraocular pressure (IOP) was significantly reduced to below 18 mmHg at 12 months for patients with baseline IOP ≥18 mmHg and continued to show improvement at 24 months [5]. - The meta-analysis confirmed comparable IOP reductions for both standalone and combination therapies at multiple time points [5]. - Average IOP-lowering medication use decreased from a range of 0.9 to 3.4 at baseline to 0.1 to 2.2 at month 12 [5]. - Patients with baseline IOP ≥18 mmHg experienced a mean IOP reduction of 6.4 to 10.0 mmHg at 12 months [5]. - Adverse events were generally mild and transient [5]. - Economic analyses indicated that OMNI is cost-effective compared to the market leader, iStent inject, with slightly higher quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) attributed to OMNI's favorable adverse event profile [5][6]. Group 3: Company Commitment - The company emphasizes its commitment to generating strong clinical evidence to demonstrate the safety, effectiveness, and durability of the OMNI system [7]. - The findings aim to reinforce surgical confidence among healthcare providers and support reimbursement decisions [7].
