- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method 1)Visual acuity testing by Snellen’s chart- <br/ ><br>It is used to assess distant visual acuity. The patient is seated 6m away from Snellens chart & is instructed to read the chart with both eyes, one after the other. When the patient can read up to a 6 m line, his visual acuity is reported as 6/6, & depending on the smallest line that the patient can read from a 6 m distance, his vision is recorded as 6/9, 6/12, 6/18, 6/24, 6/36, & 6/60. <br/ ><br>2)Intra Ocular Pressure measurement by applanation tonometry- <br/ ><br>The Goldmann Applanation Tonometer is commonly recognised as the gold standard in intraocular pressure (IOP) measurement. A topical anaesthetic is instilled into the conjunctival sac, followed by a fluorescein stain. The cobalt blue filter reveals a pattern of two green semicircular mires, with the inner borders of semicircles aligned. The IOP is calculated by multiplying the dial value by ten in mmhg. <br/ ><br>Timepoint: 2 YEARS
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method 1)Moorfields bleb grading- <br/ ><br>The bleb is assessed & characterized with respect to- <br/ ><br>•Diffusion area <br/ ><br>•Height <br/ ><br>•Vascularity in central, peripheral bleb area and non- bleb area. <br/ ><br>2)Need of anti-glaucoma medication-If the post-operative IOP measurement indicates greater values, we will administer anti-glaucoma drugs later. <br/ ><br>3)OCT-RNFL and Humphrey visual field analysis <br/ ><br>Timepoint: 2 YEARS
