  1. Clinical Success defined as complete (without the use of IOP-lowering drugs) and qualified (with the use of additional IOP-lowering drugs) success for the complete treated group of eyes and the four subgroups of the different glaucoma types (A) IOP reduction of ≥20% from baseline and resulting IOP of < 21 mmHg; complete success (B) IOP reduction of ≥30% from baseline and resulting IOP of < 18 mmHg; complete success (C) IOP reduction of ≥40% from baseline and resulting IOP of < 15 mmHg). Additionally, distribution of achieved success levels was compared between treatment groups using Kruskal-Wallis test
