Summary
This pilot study tests whether placing a slow-release steroid implant (Yutiq) during glaucoma drainage surgery can reduce scarring and better control eye pressure. Five adults with glaucoma will receive the implant along with a standard glaucoma valve. Researchers will compare their eye pressure and medication needs to similar patients who had surgery without the implant.
