Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • intraocular pressure (IOP)

    to evaluate one-year intraocular pressure (IOP) reduction after a standard pneumatic trabeculoplasty (PNT) treatment

    Patients will be followed for one year. Time-points:recruitment, Basal (30 days after recruitment), Follow-Up2 (30 days after basal), Follow-Up3 (3 months after basal), Follow-Up4 (6 months after basal), Follow-Up5 (one year after basal)

Study Arms (1)

PNT treatment

EXPERIMENTAL

all subjects enrolled in the study, that underwent PNT treatment

Device: "model 1000 PNT vacuum controller" (the vacuum device for ocular suction)

Interventions

A Pneumatic Trabeculoplasty treatment, composed of 3 single PNT applications at day 0, 7 and 90. Each treatment consist in a ocular pneumatic suction of 500inchHg administered for 60 seconds in perilimbal region through the device (model 1000 PNT vacuum controller). This suction is then repeated after a 5 minutes pause.
