Brief summary

This clinical trial compares two implantable devices intended to lower the pressure inside the eye of glaucoma patients.

Detailed description

This is a prospective, multicenter, single-masked, randomized clinical trial comparing the Hydrus Microstent to two iStent implants for the reduction of intraocular pressure in phakic patients with a positive diagnosis of primary open angle glaucoma, pseudoexfoliative glaucoma, or pigmentary dispersion glaucoma. Post-operative follow-up visits will be conducted at regular intervals.

Interventions

Device inserted into Schlemm's canal to enhance aqueous flow from the anterior chamber.
