Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Complete Resolution of Intraocular Gas Bubble
This will be reported by the patient when they see/feel the gas bubble disappear.
Following surgery, until gas bubble is gone. Up to 2 months.
Secondary Outcomes (1)
Number of Participants With Return of Intraocular Pressure to Normal Levels
Month 2
Study Arms (2)
Post surgery without glaucoma drops
ACTIVE COMPARATORThis will be for the group that had gas duration surgery using SF6 (Sulfur Hexafluoride) or C3F8 (perfluoropropane gas tamponade) and only uses the standard post-operative topical drops.
Post surgery with glaucoma drops
EXPERIMENTALThis will be for the group that had gas duration surgery (using SF6 or C3F8). In addition to the standard post-operative topical drops, glaucoma drops, Timolol-dorzolamide (timolol 0.5%-dorzolamide 2%) will be given.
Interventions
Patients will receive the standard post-operative drops regardless of what group you are in. The glaucoma drops will only be given to the experimental group.
Patients will receive the standard post-operative drops regardless of what group ther are in. The standard post-operative drops are Prednisolone acetate,Polymyxin B and Trimethoprim
Eligibility Criteria

- Prior surgery to treat glaucoma.
- Current use of glaucoma eye drops.
- Absence of a lens in the eye or presence of a lens implant in front of the iris (colored part of your eye).
