Summary
This pilot study tests whether placing a slow-release steroid implant (Yutiq) during glaucoma drainage surgery helps reduce scarring and keeps eye pressure lower. About 5 adults with glaucoma will receive the implant along with their surgery. Researchers will compare their eye pressure and medication use to similar patients who had surgery without the implant.
