25GMIVS: 25-gauge microincision vitrectomy surgery; IOP: intraocular pressure; VA: visual acuity; IOP: intraocular pressure; TLE: trabeculectomy; HM: hand movement; CF: counting fingers; NLP: no light perception.

P < 0.01; Wilcoxon signed-ranks test; pre-25GMIVS VA versus final VA.

P < 0.001; Friedman test for 3 groups: pre-TLE IOP, pre-25GMIVS IOP and final IOP.

P = 0.50; Scheffe's test; pre-25GMIVS IOP versus final IOP.

P = 0.67; Wilcoxon signed-ranks test; pre-25GMIVS number of glaucoma medications versus final number of glaucoma medications.
