Abstract

Trabeculectomy with Mitomycin-C (MMC) and glaucoma drainage device implantation remain the most commonly performed surgical procedures for the treatment of Open Angle Glaucoma (OAG). Numerous studies have shown good efficacy for these surgical procedures [1-3]; however, a high rate of complications [4] has prompted the glaucoma community to search for alternative surgeries to treat OAG.
