Inclusion Criteria:
* Available for up to 3 years follow-up.
* Diagnosed with primary open-angle, pseudoexfoliative, or pigmentary glaucoma or more than one glaucoma diagnosis of these types.
* Subject scheduled to undergo glaucoma surgery with the Suprachoroidal Dissection Instrument involving creation of fistula between Schlemm's canal and the suprachoroidal space without combined cataract surgery.
* Subject has failed at least one incisional glaucoma surgery (trabeculectomy, tube shunt, deep sclerectomy, viscocanalostomy, canaloplasty) or angle surgery (Trabectome) OR Is not a candidate for conventional glaucoma surgery due to reasons such as the presence of scleral buckle or compromised conjunctiva.
* Subject has IOP ≥ 16 mm Hg on maximally tolerated medications within the six week (-42 days) period prior to surgery.
* Visual field defect defined as mean deviation (MD) score worse than or equal to -10 dB on the Swedish Interactive Threshold Algorithm \[SITA\] Standard 24-2 Humphrey Analysis during the 6 month period prior to surgery. OR Subject has vertical cup-to-disk ratio ≥ 0.75 during the 6 month period prior to surgery.
Exclusion Criteria:
* Significant lens opacities or patient is candidate for cataract surgery during the duration of the study.
* The patient had developmental glaucoma or a secondary glaucoma including steroid-induced, uveitic, or neovascular glaucoma (with the exception of pigmentary and pseudoexfoliative glaucoma).
* The patient has narrow angle…
