Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Intraocular pressure (IOP) control after surgery assessed using Goldman Tonometer at every examination: preoperative and postoperative 1 day, 1 week , 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. Complications will be assessed during post-operative slit lamp examination after surgery at day 1, week 1 and month 1. These complications are: Hypotony (IOP 21 mmHg despite maximum medications 2.3. The presence of blood vessels at site of surgery is detected by slit lamp examination and is graded by a five scaling score, where: Grade 0: no vessels at site of surgery. Grade 1: no vessels are present but there are small cysts and tissues are clear. Grade 2: few vessels are present (similar to adjacent tissues). Grade 3: moderate number of vessels. Grade 4: too many vessels | — |
