IOP

24 Secondary Outcome

1. Number of IOP-lowering medications 2. Anesthetic method required, anesthetic complications, and subjective pain score by visual-analog scale 3. Peri-operative complications 4. Operative time, and Total operative time (including second-staged trabeculectomy performed for phaco-alone patients whose IOP is not sufficiently controlled, any other additional glaucoma procedures to further control IOP, and any procedures to handle complications of surgery) 5. Visual acuity (VA) 6. Angle status by indentation gonioscopy and ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) 7. Change in visual field by automated perimetry (Humphrey's) 8.
