Mean IOP and mean number of antiglaucoma medications during the postoperative course after viscocanalostomy/VSRHAI.
| Viscocanalostomy | VSRHAI | p Value (t test) | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mean IOP (mm Hg) (SD) | Mean number of medications (SD) | Mean IOP (mm Hg) (SD) | Mean number of medications (SD) | IOP | Meds | |
| FU 1 = follow up examination 1 month after surgery; post op 1 = examination 1 day after surgery; IOP = intraocular pressure; Meds = antiglaucoma medications; SD = standard deviation, mean = mean value of those patients that fullfilled at least the qualified success criteria. | ||||||
