Outcome results

Primary

Mean Change in IOP From Baseline

Mean change in IOP from baseline was calculated for subjects who completed the 12-month visit and the worst within-eye IOP was used for subjects who underwent a glaucoma-related secondary surgical intervention.

Time frame: 12 Months

Population: All subjects who completed the 12-month visit or underwent a glaucoma-related secondary surgical procedure prior to the 12-month visit were evaluated in this analysis.
