ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
The evaluation of postoperative results of the non-penetrating deep sclerectomy in primary open angle glaucoma. MATERIAL ANDMETHODS:
From September 1999 to October 2000 the procedure was performed in 10 patients (15 eyes). There were 7 men and 3 women aged from 45 to 87 years. Preoperative IOPs ranged from 16 to 38 mm Hg. The follow up time ranged from 3 to 12 months.RESULTS:
Success was considered an IOP of less than 20 mm Hg without medication in 87%. There were a few early postoperative complications included hypotony (9 patients), hyphema (1 patient), chorioidal detachment (3 patients). Late complication was bleb fibrosis in only 1 patient. Visual acuity and visual field were not worse than before surgery.CONCLUSIONS:
Our experience confirms that the non penetrating deep sclerectomy appears to be a safe and effective procedure in open angle glaucoma.
