*In some case, these symptoms may be due to preservatives in the drops—if this is the case, preservative free drops can be used.

These are based on knowledge of adverse events associated with augmented trabeculectomy and the relevant product information documented in the summary of product characteristics (SmPC). The latest online version of the appropriate SmPC will be considered in the assessment of an adverse event.
