PurposeTo compare the efficacy of Ex-PRESS implantation to trabeculectomy with mitomycin C, for maintaining low target intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with open angle glaucoma. Materials and MethodsPatients were randomly assigned to receive Ex-PRESS implantation or trabeculectomy. Patients with IOP [≥] 15 mmHg were included in this study. Surgical success was defined according to three target mean IOP ranges (5 mmHg [≤] IOP [≤]18 mmHg [criterion A], 5 mmHg [≤] IOP [≤]15 mm...
