Investigated parameters were number of medications, visual acuity (VA), intraocular pressure (IOP), mean deviation on visual field (VF) test. Success was defined as (a) IOP\u2009\u2a7d\u200915\u2009mmHg and or \u2a7e\u200920% reduction in IOP and (b) a reduction in number of medications.

Twenty had success with 12-month follow-up in the study. The mean number of medications decreased significantly from 4.2\u2009\u00b1\u20091.0 preoperatively to 2.4\u2009\u00b1\u20091.7 in 12\u2009months ( p\u2009=\u20090.021) with five patients being medication free. In addition, the IOP decreased significantly from 21\u2009\u00b1\u20098.2 to 13.5\u2009\u00b1\u20094.4\u2009mmHg ( p\u2009=\u20090.032).
