Trabeculectomy with Mitomycin C for Neovascular Glaucoma: Prognostic Factors for Surgical Failure

Clinical characteristics of optic neuritis in Taiwanese children

“…Eyes without formed vision were classified into one of four low-vision categories, which were assigned decimal equivalents as follows: counting fingers ¼ 0.00500; hand motion ¼ 0.00250; light perception ¼ 0.00125; and no light perception ¼ 0.00100. 18 The logarithm of reciprocal decimal VA was used to approximate the logarithm of minimal angle of resolution (log MAR). All statistical analyses were conducted using SPSS software (Standard Windows version 15.0, SPSS, Chicago, IL, USA).…”

Neovascular Glaucoma – A Review

“…The success rate of trabeculectomy with MMC in NVG at 1 year has been reported to be around 62.6% and reduced to 51.7% at 5 years. 26 With the use of preoperative Bevacizumab, success rate may improve upto 95%. 27 Regressed NVI and reduced intraocular inflammation before trabeculectomy increases the success rate ( Figure 5).…”

One-year results of intravitreal bevacizumab as an adjunct to trabeculectomy for neovascular glaucoma in eyes with previous vitrectomy

“…I read with interest the clinical study of Welch et al 1 The study highlights the fact that with a decrease in glaucoma surgery trainees have less opportunity for gaining experience in trabeculectomy.…”

“…1,2 Preoperative adjunctive use of bevacizumab before trabeculectomy might improve the surgical success rate of NVG in previously vitrectomised eyes. …”
