Healthy volunteers: no

Brief summary:
The investigators hypothesize that intracameral Triesence during glaucoma surgery will provide lower intraocular pressure through better control of ocular inflammation, thus leading to a more successful filtering procedure.

Detailed description:
Determine the efficacy and safety of intracameral Triesence in patients who undergo trabeculectomy, tube shunt, or combined cataract extraction, intra-ocular lens implantation and trabeculectomy with or without adjunctive mitomycin-C.

Arms:
arm 1: glaucoma surgery with 0.2cc Triesence adjunct. arm 2: glaucoma surgery with balanced salt solution, the standard technique.

Interventions: intervention 1: Triesence intervention 2: balanced salt solution BSS
Intervention descriptions: intervention 1: At end of standard glaucoma surgery and the anterior chamber is reformed with balanced salt solution or viscoelastic to an adequate intraocular pressure, 0.2cc of Triesence will be delivered into the anterior chamber through the previously created paracentesis wound. intervention 2: At end of standard glaucoma surgery, the anterior chamber is reformed with balanced salt solution or viscoelastic to an adequate intraocular pressure.
