Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* Primary Open Angle and primary Angle Closure glaucoma * Subject where the IOP is not adequately controlled with glaucoma medication, and can not or not agree for incisional glaucoma surgery * IOP ≥ 21 mmHg and ≤ 40 mmHg * Best Corrected Visual Acuity \> Hand Motion * Patient able and willing to sign the informed consent and complete postoperative followup requirements
Exclusion criteria
* History of ocular or retrobulbar tumor * Ocular infection within 14 days prior to the procedure of Ultrasound Cyclo Plasty (UCP) * History of Cyclo-destructive procedures (cryotherapy, Laser transscleral cyclophotocoagulation; Laser endophotocoagulation) * Congenital glaucoma * History of ciliary body surgery or vitrectomy in the study eye * Ocular disease other than glaucoma that may affect assessment of visual acuity and/or IOP (choroidal hemorrhage or detachment, lens subluxation, thyroid ophthalmopathy, proliferative diabetic retinopathy, clinical significant macular edema, retinal detachment)

Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Safety endpoint: rate of per operative complications | 6 months | Rate of per-operative device and/or procedure related adverse events |
| Safety endpoint: rate of post-operative complications | 6 months | Rate of post-operative complications during the follow-up period |
| Efficacy endpoint: Number of ocular hypotensive medications | 6 months | Mean number of IOP lowering medications at each visit during the follow-up period |
