The goal of this observational study is to better understand the learning curve among novice glaucoma surgeons performing Hydrus microstent insertion. The main question it aims to answer is what is the average number of cases does it take new glaucoma surgical fellows to become competent in Hydrus insertion. Researchers will review and grade videos of surgical cases. Participating fellows will complete a survey reporting the number of cases they had completed before beginning their glaucoma surgical fellowship and how many Hydrus cases they performed during their fellowship before they felt comfortable performing Hydrus cases without an attending surgeon overseeing their work.

| Mean number of cases across all fellows needed to achieve and maintain at least an 80% competence score | The competency matrix for Hydrus follows recommended surgical procedural steps. There are 12 competency steps that will be scored on a scale of 1-Novice to 4-Competent, for a total of 48 points. A score of 39 (80%) is considered competent. | through study completion, an average of 9 months |
