Success was seen in 95% of cases, with two patients not achieving target IOP and requiring trabeculectomy. Angle widening was documented in all cases by both gonioscopy and AS-OCT, and none of the patients showed any progression in disc damage and visual field changes.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n
