To monitor intraocular pressure in glaucoma patients after cataract surgery preformed in conjunction with minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS)
The purpose of this study is to monitor glaucoma patients intraocular pressure (IOP) after cataract surgery performed in conjunction with minimally invasive glaucoma surgery. After qualifying for this study, subjects will be randomized in a 1:1 allocation of one of two arms. The purpose of this study is to determine if Dextenza (dexamethasone) 0.4mg intracanalicular insert delivery system, provides a decreased risk of elevated post-operative IOP vs. standard therapy controlled topical steroid Durezol (Difluprednate ophthalmic emulsion) 0.05%
