In this study, the investigators will collect tissue from patients undergoing trabeculectomy
for primary open-angle glaucoma treatment. This tissue would normally be discarded. These
trabecular meshwork (TM) cells can be cultured and used experimentally to better understand
the mechanisms of glaucoma. These TM biopsies will be cultured on the same day as the
trabeculectomy using established techniques.


Inclusion Criteria:

- Patients having glaucoma and undergoing a trabeculotomy
