| Intervention | It is proposed to use 750-1000 cGY of beta radiation to the eye following surgery. Patients will be randomised to receive an active or a dummy plaque and clinically followed up with measurements of intra ocular pressure. (10P). |
| Intervention type | Other |
| Primary outcome measure | Success defined as reduction in from baseline at peak drug effect, response rate and quality of life as measured using the Glaucoma disability index. I0P <21 mm Hg. 1. Completed = without medication 2. Qualified = with additional medication |
