Effectiveness of a Procedure for Previously Failed Glaucoma Surgery

Completed

Conditions studied: Glaucoma

In brief

Transconjunctival mitomycin-C in needle bleb revision may be an effective procedure to treat cases with a previously failed trabeculectomy. We will investigate approximately 100 consecutive cases with follow up of up to 9 years. We anticipate that this procedure is an effective, safe, and appropriate option for successful glaucoma treatment.
