    Eligibility Criteria

    Criteria

    Ages Eligible for Study:
    18 Years to 80 Years
    Sexes Eligible for Study:
    All
    Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
    No
    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
