The study was a prospective interventional clinical trial enrolling 29 eyes from 20 patients with uncontrolled open-angle glaucoma to evaluate the effect of adding a novel simple economical step to nonpenetrating deep sclerectomy. We obtained an additional 12.5% reduction in the intraocular pressure compared with the standard surgery.
