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.
; Wilcoxon signed-ranks test; pre-25GMIVS VA versus final VA.
; Friedman test for 3 groups: pre-TLE IOP, pre-25GMIVS IOP and final IOP.
; Scheffe's test; pre-25GMIVS IOP versus final IOP.
; Wilcoxon signed-ranks test; pre-25GMIVS number of glaucoma medications versus final number of glaucoma medications.
