Intraoperative and postoperative complications were uncommon, occurring in less than 3 percent of patients. Details of the incidence and nature of these<br />

complications are shown in the charts below. The need to reoperate within 90 days due to postoperative complications or to recurring IOP elevation<br />

occurred in 2.4 percent of patients. Despite the high level of complexity of a significant number of glaucoma surgery cases at the <strong>Cole</strong> <strong>Eye</strong> <strong>Institute</strong>, we<br />

are able to achieve a high level of efficacy in reducing IOP through surgical intervention, with a low risk of intraoperative or postoperative complications.<br />
