Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Insertion of 3 trabecular bypass stents (iStent inject W) with or without cataract surgery.
1. Receipt of treatment is not conditional on participation in the study (patients meeting inclusion/exclusion criteria not wishing to be enrolled in a study are still eligible to receive the described treatment)
2. Follow-up from the date of treatment will be a minimum 24 months with assessments at 3-6 monthly intervals after the initial post-operative phase.
3. Follow-up will require a 1 hour appointment during which primary and secondary outcome measures will be assessed
4. The istent inject W (x3) will be injected into the nasal trabecular meshwork, @ 2 clock-hour intervals, at the time of cataract surgery or as a stand-alone procedure under topical or local anaesthesia in an operating theatre
5. Stents will be inserted by an ophthalmologist experienced in the use of the istent inject device.
6. Confirmation of iStent inject W placement will be recorded in the patients surgical records a copy of which will be retained in the patient records.
7. Patients with visually significant cataract who meet the inclusion/exclusion criteria for istent inject W (x3) will have stent placement combined with cataract surgery. Patients without cataract or who've previously undergone cataract surgery who meet the inclusion/exclusion criteria for istent inject W (x3) will have stent placement as a stand-alone procedure.

Statistical methods / analysis
No formal sample size calculation was performed. Assuming a 20% drop-out rate per year, approximately 75 patients will be enrolled in this registry to yield at least 60 patients per treatment arm with follow-up data at 2 years post-procedure.

The primary efficacy endpoint is the percentage of eyes with greater than 20% IOP reduction vs preoperative IOP. Mean IOP will be reported at baseline and at each post-treatment follow-up time point and change from baseline to each time point will be calculated for each eye.

Summary
Brief summary
This is a multi-center, prospective, open-label, post-market registry of the safety and efficacy following implantation of iStent inject W stents (G2W), with or without phacoemulsification, in eyes with OAG in a real-world clinical setting. All patients will be evaluated at a preoperative visit the post-operative visita on Day 1, Week 1, and Month 1, 3, 6, 12, 18 and 24 after treatment. Slit lamp and fundus/optic nerve assessments, Gonioscopy, Pachymetry, Visual Field (VF) and Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) assessment f Retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) will be performed at pretreatment baseline and at appropriate times after treatment. it is expected the intervention will demonstrate clinically significant IOP-lowering with a good safety profile.
