About this study

Official title: A Study of the Trabecular Micro-bypass Stent in Combination With Cataract Surgery in Subjects With Newly Diagnosed Open Angle Glaucoma and Subjects Diagnosed With Ocular Hypertension

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the iStent trabecular micro-bypass stent in reducing intraocular pressure (IOP) in subjects with newly diagnosed open-angle glaucoma and subjects diagnosed with Ocular hypertension.

Read the detailed description

The study will compare the reduction in IOP of those subjects implanted with two Glaukos micro-stents with the reduction in IOP for patients receiving only primary medical therapy (Xalatan - Latanoprost) or cataract surgery alone. Both groups will undergo routine cataract surgery.

Being tested
Glaucoma Surgery, cataract surgery only
