Patients\u2019 data of 12 months\u2019 follow-up were recorded. The primary target was the mean intraocular pressure (IOP) study in which complete success was defined as an IOP \u226421 mm Hg and at least a 30% reduction without the use of antiglaucoma drugs and a qualified success when medications were used to reach this aim. The secondary target was studying the corneal diameter and cup disc ratio change.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>RESULTS:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The mean IOP (mm Hg) was reduced from 27.28 \u00b1 3.46 preoperatively to 17.50 \u00b1 5.09 at the final postoperative visit (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt; 0.001).
