  • 5-FU = 5-fluorouracil; I-f = Interceed + 5-FU; I-fv = Interceed + 5-FU + Viscoat.

  • M/C = between superior rectus muscle and conjunctiva.

  • M/S = between superior rectus muscle and sclera.

  • 0 = no adhesion; 1 = filmy adhesions easily separable with blunt dissection; 2 = mild to moderate adhesions with freely dissectible plane; 3 = moderate to dense adhesions with difficult dissection; 4 = non-dissectible plane.
