  • SD = standard deviation; M:F = male:female; W:O = White:Oriental; R:L = right:left; S:D = single:double; POAG = primary open angle glaucoma; CCAG = chronic closed angle glaucoma; NS = not significant.

  • Most patients with POAG were female.

  • Most patients with traumatic glaucoma were male.

  • Compared with other diagnoses, traumatic glaucoma was more common in eyes of non-white patients.

  • Single plate implants were more commonly inserted in eyes with neovascular glaucoma, compared with other diagnoses.
