Our aim was to determine the predictive value of postoperative Background bleb morphological features and intraocular pressure (IOP) on the success rate of trabeculectomy. : In this prospective interventional case series, we analyzed for one Methods year 80 consecutive primary open angle glaucoma patients who underwent mitomycin-augmented trabeculectomy. Bleb morphology was scored using the Ind...

PURPOSE A honeycomb-patterned film (HPF) prevents bleb scarring and mitomycin C (MMC)-related bleb avascularity in a rabbit model of filtration surgery. In this study, we examined whether a HPF-releasing paclitaxel (PTX) can prevent bleb avascularity without compromising filtration. METHODS Filtration surgery was performed in one eye of rabbits. A 14-μm thick HPF made from poly(L-lactide-co-ε...

PURPOSE To report an unusual case of spontaneous late leakage of filtering bleb in a patient with orbital pseudotumor. METHODS Single case report. RESULTS A 53-year-old woman developed spontaneous leakage of bleb in her right eye 23 years after trabeculectomy with application of mitomycin-C (MMC). Two weeks later, her symptoms were blurring of vision, increasing redness, and dull ocular pai...

AIM To determine outcomes of bleb excision and conjunctival advancement for leaking or hypotonous eyes after glaucoma filtering surgery. METHODS In a retrospective case series the medical records of all patients who underwent bleb excision and conjunctival advancement surgery for bleb leaks or hypotony (defined as IOP less than 6 mm Hg, associated with reduced vision) at the Jules Stein Eye I...

Background: Our aim was to determine the predictive value of postoperative bleb morphological features and intraocular pressure (IOP) on the success rate of trabeculectomy. Methods: In this prospective interventional case series, we analyzed for one year 80 consecutive primary open angle glaucoma patients who underwent mitomycin-augmented trabeculectomy. Bleb morphology was scored using the Ind...
