Brief Summary

Glaucoma is becoming a more common causeof blindness as the world’s population ages. Glaucoma, the second largest causeof blindness worldwide, accounts approximately 15% of all blindness. It posesan even bigger public health concern than cataracts, however, because theblindness it produces is irreversible.This study aims to compare the clinicaloutcomes of traditional trabeculectomy and glaucoma drainage device. This is a hospital-basedstudy of 30 patients in which we compare clinical results after conventionaltrabeculectomy and implantation of a glaucoma drainage device. Intraocularpressure measure by Applanation tonometer and best corrected visual acuity testingwill be performed in all patients. The data will be compared and statisticalanalysis will be done. Patients with Glaucoma drainage implantswill have better IOP control.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
1)Visual acuity testing by Snellen’s chart-	2 YEARS
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.	2 YEARS
2)Intra Ocular Pressure measurement by applanation tonometry-	2 YEARS
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.	2 YEARS
