Summary
This study tested a modified surgical technique for open-angle glaucoma, adding a tiny mattress stitch to the standard deep sclerectomy procedure. 26 adults with glaucoma that was not controlled by eye drops were randomly assigned to receive either the standard or modified surgery. The goal was to see which approach better lowered eye pressure and reduced the need for medication over 9 months.
