(2) Patients who have difficulty measuring intraocular pressure with a Goldmann applanation tonometer. (3) Patients with allergy to Ripasudil. (4) Patients less than 3 months post-internal eye surgery (except for cataract surgery performed at the same time with trabeculectomy). (5) Patients with a history of conjunctival surgery (except for trabeculectomy). (6) Patients who have received eye drops or oral medication containing tranilast at least 30 days prior to the start of the study. (7) Patients receiving ripasudil ophthalmic solution at least 3 days prior to the start of the study (8) Other patients deemed inappropriate by the principal investigator/approving ophthalmologist to conduct this study.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Incidence of ocular (one or both eyes) and other adverse reactions | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| (1) Glaucoma type and incidence of adverse events and adverse drug reactions locally (regardless of whether it is in one or both eyes) and systemically. (2) Pre-treatment and medications in use for ocular diseases (ocular and systemic), and incidence of adverse events and adverse reactions locally (whether in one or both eyes) and systemically. (3) Survival rate at 3 months after needling 1) Absolute success is defined as two consecutive IOP reductions of less than 20% compared to the pre-needling level. 2) Relative success is defined as an IOP of (A) 4 mmHg or greater but less than 22 mmHg, (B) 4 mmHg or greater but less than 19 mmHg, or (C) 4 mmHg or greater but less than 22 mmHg. (4) Change of intraocular pressure, anterior chamber flare, corneal thickness, and corneal endothelial cell count, bleb score, visual field test, bleb OCT, and contents of eye drop at 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months before and after needling. (5) Change of intraocular pressure, anterior chamber flare, corneal thickness, and corneal endothelial cell count, bleb score, visual field test, bleb OCT, and contents of eye drop at 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months before and after needling by glaucoma type. | — |
