Trabeculectomy after failed glaucoma drainage device (GDD) is often thought of as a poor choice due to the possibility of violated conjunctiva leading to failure of the trabeculectomy. Thus, no large ...

Purpose: The goal of this study was to identify the early postoperative intraocular pressure (IOP) that predicts low pressure control after a trabeculectomy with mitomycin C. Materials and Methods: ...

MILAN, Italy — Results of a 2-year study comparing viscocanalostomy to trabeculectomy show greater intraocular pressure (IOP) reductions for patients receiving standard trabeculectomy. Roberto Carassa ...

The addition of an intravitreal anti-VEGF agent at the time of trabeculectomy may result in more favorable bleb characteristics compared with mitomycin C alone. The results of a pilot study by Malik Y ...

The incidence of trabeculectomy is falling due to more effective medical therapies, resulting in fewer trabeculectomy operations carried out by Ophthalmology trainees. This study audits all primary ...

The goal of glaucoma surgery should be the preservation of visual function, the avoidance of sight-threatening complications, and the preservation of the quality of life of the patient. Curiously, the ...

GDDs significantly increase corneal edema risk compared to trabeculectomy, with a 27.7% incidence versus 13.5% for trabeculectomy. MIGS and Xen stents show lower risks for corneal edema, with ...

Glaucoma is the leading cause of blindness worldwide. It is a disease which damages the optic nerve which, quite often, happens due to increase of pressure within the eye (intra ocular pressure IOP).

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - More than half of people getting a certain type of glaucoma surgery may suffer from temporary, sometimes severe vision loss afterwards, suggests a new study. A smaller ...
