  Objective: To investigate the efficacy and safety of the collagen-based Ologen implant as an adjuvant therapy in trabeculectomy as compared to mitomycin-C (MMC) in a predominantly African American patient population. Methods: This study was a retrospective review of 54 eyes of 50 primary open angle glaucoma patients who underwent trabeculectomy with either MMC or Ologen. 16 eyes were included in the MMC group and 38 in the Ologen group. Primary outcomes included treatment success (as defined by target IOP <21 mmHg, IOP reduction >20) both qualified (with and without medications) and unqualified (without medication), overall IOP reduction, and reduction of number of medications as compared to pre-operative state.
