This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing three different surgical techniques to treat open-angle glaucoma — a condition where fluid builds up in the eye and damages the optic nerve. The three approaches being compared are: the Hydrus Microstent (a tiny tube placed in the eye to help fluid drain), incisional goniotomy (making a small cut in the eye's drainage area), and excisional goniotomy (removing a small section of the drainage area). All three procedures are performed at the same time as cataract surgery to give your eye the best chance at improvement.
Doctors want to know which of these three newer, less invasive surgical techniques works best at lowering eye pressure and which is safest for patients with mild to moderate glaucoma. Right now, there's no clear answer about which approach is superior, so this study will help guide treatment decisions in the future.

If you join this trial, you will be randomly assigned to receive one of the three surgical procedures combined with your cataract surgery. After surgery, you'll return for regular eye exams to have your eye pressure measured and your vision checked. The study will track how well each surgery lowers your eye pressure and monitor for any side effects, with follow-up visits scheduled according to the study protocol to make sure the treatment is working safely.
