- Your eye pressure is not well controlled with drops or previous treatments
- Your doctor has recommended eye pressure-lowering surgery
- You are at least 18 years old and can attend all follow-up visits
**You may NOT be eligible if...**
- You have had certain previous eye surgeries that would interfere with the study
- You have severe eye infections or inflammation
- You have other serious eye conditions beyond glaucoma that significantly affect your vision
