Purpose of this Study
In this study visit, participants will have a regular eye exam. The doctor will place a small amount of special dye in the eye to look for any leaks. The doctor will use a light and microscope to look closely at the eye and may gently move the eyelid to see certain areas better. The visit should take about the same amount of time as a normal eye doctor appointment.

What is Involved?
Description
This study looks at how well a special dye called fluorescein helps doctors find fluid leaks on the surface of the eye after glaucoma surgery. The goal is to learn when this test gives correct information and when it might give confusing results. What researchers learn can help patients get the right care for their eyes.
