Long‐term outcome following trabeculectomy: II

Abstract: The long-term changes of the visual field defects of 54 glaucoma patients operated on with trabeculectomy were reviewed. Five years after operation 28% of the patients had suffered from further loss of visual field despite lowering of the intraocular pressure (IOP). All but three of these patients had their postoperative IOP regulated within statistically normal levels (11-21 mmHg). All patients with continued loss of postoperative field were generated from groups of patients with milder to moderate preoperati… Show more

“…More recently, a significant increase in LT (0.07 ± 0.1 mm) was reported six months after trabeculectomy with MMC . These small changes may indicate early cataract formation or progression, which is a common complication after trabeculectomy . An increase in LT may be partly responsible for the reported ACD reduction after trabeculectomy.…”

“…Its risk factor has been reported advanced age, a history of coronary artery disease, postoperative severe hypotonia, and split fixation on VF tests (7,11,13). Even though IOP decreases to normal after filtration surgery, VF loss may persist (14). To demonstrate progression in advanced glaucoma, 10-2 VF test offers better results than 24-2 VF test in assessing rates of mean deviation (MD) changes (15).…”
