Materials and methods This study was a retrospective, comparative case series. Thirty eyes with primary open-angle glaucoma underwent consecutive trabeculectomies with MMC injection (injection group), and thirty eyes with sponge-applied MMC w...
متن کامل[Mitomycin C and excimer laser].
Mitomycin C is an antimetabolite agent that blocks DNA and RNA replication and protein synthesis. It has been used in several ophthalmologic areas, and recently as a modulator of corneal wound healing in excimer laser surgeries. A single application of mitomycin C during surface corneal photoablative surgery seems a safe and efficient therapeutic option for eyes with corneal opacity and/or as p...
متن کاملMitomycin-C Use in Ophthalmology
Mitomycin-C is a chemotherapeutic drug that acts by inhibiting DNA synthesis. Its use and application in ophthalmology has been increasing in recent years because of its mandatory effects on wound healing. Current applications include pterygium surgery, glaucoma surgery, corneal refractive surgery, cictracial eye disease, conjunctivalneoplasia, dacryocystorhinostomy surgeries and allergic eye d...
متن کاملMitomycin C in photorefractive keratectomy.
PURPOSE To evaluate the outcome of primary or retreatment photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) or phototherapeutic keratectomy (PTK) with mitomycin C (MMC) 0.02% applied prophylactically intraoperatively for the prevention of haze and regression in cases of significant haze and regression after primary PRK, due to previous radial keratotomy (RK), in primary PRK eyes with high myopia, and in comeas...
