Comparative study of trabecular aspiration vs trabeculectomy in glaucoma triple procedure to treat pseudoexfoliation glaucoma.
OBJECTIVES To establish the relative safety and effectiveness of trabecular aspiration in combination with phacoemulsification and intraocular lens (IOL) implantation (asp+IOL) for decreasing intraocular pressure (IOP), and to compare the outcome of this method of treatment with that of phacoemulsification and IOL implantation alone (IOL-alone) or standard filtering glaucoma triple procedure (t...
متن کاملTrabecular aspiration. A new mode to treat pseudoexfoliation glaucoma.
PURPOSE The primary cause of intraocular pressure (IOP) elevation in pseudoexfoliation glaucoma is obstruction of the intertrabecular spaces by exfoliation material. The aim of the current study was to evaluate the efficacy of a novel surgical approach--trabecular aspiration--for the management of pseudoexfoliation glaucoma. METHODS Twelve patients characterized by medically uncontrolled IOP ...
متن کاملGlaucoma triple procedure of extracapsular cataract extraction, posterior chamber lens implantation, and trabeculectomy.
Thirty-four consecutive glaucoma triple procedures with a minimum follow up of six months have been shown to be effective and safe. Satisfactory control of the glaucoma was achieved in each case, and 91% of eyes were returned to an acuity of 6/12 or better. 1% sodium hyaluronate was found to be beneficial by preventing scleral or corneal collapse during surgery and ensuring an even filtration p...
متن کاملResults of Combined Cyclectomy/Trabeculectomy Procedure Compared with Ahmed Glaucoma Valve Implant in Neovascular Glaucoma Cases
Purpose. Cyclectomy/trabeculectomy and Ahmed glaucoma valve implant are operations suggested for refractory glaucomas. In this study, we have evaluated the outcomes that we observed with these two techniques in neovascular glaucoma patients. Material and Methods. Thirty-five eyes with neovascular glaucomas were included in this study. Ahmed Glaucoma valve (group A) was applied to ten eyes, whil...
متن کاملTrabecular meshwork in pseudoexfoliation syndrome with and without open-angle glaucoma. A morphometric, ultrastructural study.
PURPOSE To test the hypothesis that glaucoma in eyes with pseudoexfoliation (PEX) syndrome results from blockage of the outflow channels by PEX material, melanin granules from the iris pigment epithelium, or both, and to determine the origin of intratrabecular PEX material. METHODS Trabecular meshwork tissue was obtained from five surgically enucleated eyes with PEX glaucoma, ten autopsy eyes...
