Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Age more than 18 years Diagnosis of POAG (POAG is an optic neuropathy with increased intraocular pressure in which the angle of the anterior chamber of the eye is open and no secondary disease or cause can be found to justify optic nerve damage or increased intraocular pressure). Newly diagnosed patients and those who are currently receiving the standard first-line treatment, i.e. latanoprost eye drops, but their target IOP has not been achieved.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Secondary glaucoma diagnosis One eye patients (patients whose other eye is blind for any reason). Having very high IOP (above 30 mm Hg) Patients who have currently received the maximum tolerated medical treatment (Maximum Tolerated Medical Treatment), but despite the treatment, their IOP has not been controlled.
