TY - JOUR T1 - Trabeculectomy: long-term follow-up. JF - British Journal of Ophthalmology JO - Br J Ophthalmol SP - 535 LP - 538 DO - 10.1136/bjo.61.8.535 VL - 61 IS - 8 AU - P Wilson Y1 - 1977/08/01 UR - http://bjo.bmj.com/content/61/8/535.abstract N2 - The postoperative course of 309 eyes subjected to trabeculectomy has been studied over a 7-year period. The results have been compiled with regard to effectiveness to maintain a normal range of intraocular pressure with and without postoperative medication. The figures have been assessed in toto and for 3 groups of glaucoma, namely, open angle, chronic angle-closure, and acute angle-closure. Results support those of other reports to show that trabeculectomy gives satisfactory control over the years in a reasonably high proportion of eyes and with relatively few postoperative complications. There is also a small group of combined trabeculectomy with cataract extraction. ER -
