About this trial

To evaluate the intraocular pressure reduction effect of combined gonioscopy-assisted transluminal trabeculotomy (GATT) with goniosynechialysis in eyes with secondary synechial angle closure glaucoma.

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

Patients with secondary synechial angle closure glaucoma

Involving more than 180 degrees of the iridocorneal angle

Requiring surgery for uncontrolled IOP despite maximum tolerated therapy.

Disqualifiers

Eyes with PACG.

Eyes with neovascular glaucoma. (Some apparently stable NVG cases would have remnants of neo-vessels in the angle that are hidden behind the synechiae).

Eyes with retinal pathology.

Eyes requiring combined phacoemulsification and GATT.
