Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Assess the safety and performance of the Miami InnFocus Drainage Implant in patients suffering from glaucoma that is inadequately controlled on tolerated medical therapy with intraocular pressure greater than or equal to 18 mm Hg and less than or equal to 40 mm Hg.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Unicentric, non-randomized, single arm safety and performance study which will be conducted in accordance with the applicable parts of CFR 21 and Standard EN-ISO 14155 I \& II: 2003 on clinical investigations with medical devices on human subjects and recommendations guiding physicians in biomedical research involving human subjects adopted by the 18th World Medical Assembly, Helsinki, Finland, 1964 and later revisions
