Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Post surgery without glaucoma drops

This 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.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

standard post-operative topical drops

Intervention Type DRUG

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

Post surgery with glaucoma drops

This 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.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Timolol-dorzolamide (Glaucoma drops)

Intervention Type DRUG

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.

Intervention Type DRUG
