There was a significant difference in the preoperative and postoperative median intraocular pressure (IOP; z = 3.928; p < 0.001). The postoperative IOP (median = 12) was significantly lower than the preoperative IOP (median = 28; interquartile range = 9).Conclusion: This modification can prove to be an effective method to reduce IOP with minimal complications.
