About this trial

Evaluation of anterior segment using anterior segment optical coherence tomography in patients undergoing planned bent angle needle goniectomy procedure for uncontrolled open angle glaucoma.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Patients who are being treated for primary open angle glaucoma using eye drops.

Patients with uncontrolled intraocular pressure >21 mm Hg

All recruited patients should have open anterior chamber angles demonstrated on gonioscopy examination.

Patients giving consent for operation and follow up

Disqualifiers

1- Pseudophakic patients 2- Advanced glaucoma patients. 3- Patients who are to have trabeculectomy or laser trabeculoplasty. 4- Patients with secondary glaucoma. 5- Patients who are unable to give consent for surgery or follow up. 6- Patients with previous trauma to the eye

Trial population
