Deterioration of filtering bleb morphology and function after phacoemulsification
BACKGROUND Trabeculectomy remains the most efficient method of lowering he IOP applied for the treatment of glaucoma refractory to pharmacological treatment. Cataract is concerned as the most frequent late complication of trabeculectomy. The aim of the study was to analyse the effect of phacoemulsification with posterior chamber lens implantation on the morphology and function of filtering bleb...
متن کاملEXTENDED REPORT Filtering bleb function after clear cornea phacoemulsification: a prospective study
Aim: To evaluate the influence of clear cornea phacoemulsification on filtering bleb morphology, function, and intraocular pressure (IOP) in glaucomatous eyes with previously successful filtering surgery. Methods: The clinical course of 30 patients (30 eyes) who underwent clear cornea phacoemulsification after successful filtering glaucoma surgery was prospectively evaluated. Mean IOP and filte...
متن کامل[Filtering bleb after surgical cyclodialysis].
CASE REPORT A 35-year-old man with degenerative myopia suffered blunt ocular trauma due to being hit in the face by a ball. The injury caused four cyclodialysis clefts in his left eye which resulted in hypotony and chorioretinal folds. DISCUSSION The persisting hypotony was unsuccessfully treated with topical therapy and with laser photocoagulation. Therefore, a surgical treatment with direct...
متن کاملEvaluation of filtering bleb function by thermography.
AIM To determine whether thermography can be used to evaluate bleb function. METHODS The surface temperatures of filtering blebs from 39 eyes of 33 post-trabeculectomy patients were measured using thermography. We introduced a new parameter: the temperature decrease in the filtering bleb (TDB) where TDB = (mean temperature of the temporal and nasal bulbar conjunctiva)-(temperature of the filt...
متن کامل1 Prognosis of Filtering Operations after Phacoemulsification
Intraocular surgical procedures in general and filtering surgery in particular, predispose to cataract formation or accelerate pre-existing lens opacification thus the management of a visually significant cataract in a glaucoma patient who has had a previous trabeculectomy is a common clinical challenge, with the possibility that the intraocular surgery might result in filtration failure and lo...
