This is a post-market, prospective, single-masked, randomized, controlled, multicenter clinical trial comparing Cataract Extraction (CE) surgery + Hydrus Implant vs CE surgery alone for the reduction of intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with a positive diagnosis for open angle glaucoma (POAG) or pseudoexfoliative glaucoma. Eligible patients will be scheduled for cataract surgery. At the time of the procedure, qualified subjects will be randomized into 1 of 2 treatment groups: Hydrus Implant with cataract surgery or cataract surgery alone. Post-operative follow up will be conducted at regular intervals.
The objective of this study is to demonstrate the ability of the Hydrus Implant to lower intraocular pressure in glaucoma patients undergoing cataract surgery.
