Inclusion criteria

  • Male or female of any race ≥ 18 years and ≤ 80 years of age.
  • Diagnosis of intractable glaucoma in the study eye, with the exception of silicone oil endotamponade induced glaucoma, which has not responded to conventional medical and surgical therapy.
  • Elevated intraocular pressure > 21 mmHg in the study eye. Two consecutive measurements using Goldmann Applanation Tonometry will be obtained and the mean of those two measurements will be considered the subject's baseline intraocular pressure.
  • Subject is a candidate for surgery in the study eye with a glaucoma drainage device.
  • Subject is willing and able to sign the informed consent.

Exclusion criteria

  • Diagnosis of silicone oil endotamponade induced glaucoma in the study eye.
  • History of prior drainage implant surgery in the study eye.
  • History of cyclophotocoagulation of the study eye.
  • Pregnancy.
  • Prisoner.
