Determining Distal Outflow Tract Function in Open Angle Glaucoma as a Predictive Test for the Success of Ab Interno Trabeculectomy
The purpose of this study is to perform trabeculopuncture a test to determine the distal outflow tract function to predict the success of ab interno trabeculectomy.
Inclusion: individuals ≥ 18 years of age; clinical diagnosis of: primary open angle glaucoma, pigmentary glaucoma, or pseudoexfoliation glaucoma; uncontrolled intraocular pressure (IOP) with maximally tolerated medical therapy; progressive thinning of retinal nerve fiber layer assessed by Spectral domain optical coherence tomography (p < 0.05); progression of visual field defects; visually significant cataract and indication to reduce IOP or glaucoma medication burden.
Exclusion: prior glaucoma surgery; preexisting conditions affecting the episcleral venous pressure including Grave's ophthalmopathy, Sturge-Weber syndrome, Arteriovenous fistulas (carotid-cavernous fistula); clinical diagnosis of neovascular glaucoma, angle-closure glaucoma, uveitic glaucoma, neovascular glaucoma.
