[Naclof and dexamethasone in topical application after trabeculectomy]

Evaluated was the topically applied solution of natrium salt of diclofenac--Naclof (22 eyes) and a 0.1% solution of dexamethasone phosphate (23 eyes) on the healing of postoperative wounds after trabeculectomy in a clinical examination in patients with simple glaucoma. After the filtering operation the authors observed in the group of patients treated by dexamethasone a longer and more pronounced flattening of the anterior chamber (up to 14 days) a greater hypotensive effect and a more increased facility of the outflow (in an observation period of 6 months). In the case of a considerable flattening of the anterior chamber after trabeculectomy application of Naclof gives a better prognosis than of dexamethasone.
