Purpose To establish the efficacy and safety of non penetrating deep sclerectomy versus trabeculectomy in primary open‐angle glaucoma. Methods A Prospective randomized trial of fifteen patients (30 eyes) with bilateral primary open angle glaucoma were included in the study. Eyes were randomly assigned to receive deep sclerectomy in one eye and trabeculectomy in the other eye. Outcome Measures included :mean intraocular pressure (IOP), postoperative medications, visual acuity, success rate, and complications. Results At 12 months, mean IOP reduction was 11.5 +/‐ 3.5 (sclerectomy) versus 13.2 +/‐ 4,4mmHg (trabeculectomy) (P = 0.12), and an IOP
