Trabeculectomy remained as the most
popular surgical treatment for glaucoma since early 60s. A study that tried to assess the efficacy and safety of the collagen-based Ologen implant compared tomitomycin-C (MMC) in a predominantly African American patient population. The
study found Ologen as more effective and safe to treat glaucoma compared to
mitomycin-C for the Afro-Americans as it could exhibit lower rates of adverse
events as compared to MMC.
