  • Failure is defined as intraocular pressure (IOP)>21 or needing medication or surgery.

  • *All multivariate analyses adjusted for intervention, age, gender and race.

  • ACD, anterior chamber depth; CLE, clear lens extraction; LPI, laser peripheral iridotomy; MD, mean deviation; PAC, primary angle closure; PACG, primary angle closure glaucoma; PAS, peripheral anterior synechiae.
