Eligibility Criteria
Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
Patients suffering from primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) inadequately controlled with maximum tolerated medical therapy and who will be treated with cataract surgery.
Exclusion Criteria:
-
One eyed patients
-
Unwilling or unable to give consent, unwilling to accept randomization, or unable to return for scheduled protocol visits
-
The presence of extreme narrow angle with complete or partial closure in either eye, except for occludable angles treated with a patent iridectomy
-
Any abnormality preventing reliable applanation tonometry, any opacity or patient uncooperativeness that would restrict adequate examination of the ocular fundus or anterior chamber of either eye
-
The risk of visual field or visual acuity worsening as a consequence of participation in the trial, in the investigator's opinion
-
Any clinically significant, serious, or severe medical or psychiatric condition; any condition that, in the investigator's opinion, would interfere with optimal participation in the study or present a special risk to the patient
-
Participation in any other investigational study within 30 days prior to baseline visit
