Abstract:
Subconjunctival 5-Fu injections were administered to 10 glaucomatous eyes (8 patients) with unsuccessful previous filtration surgery, resulting in improvement of the filtration bleb and restoration of normal intraocular pressure to 9 eyes. Corneal exfoliation occurred in 2 eyes, which healed after cessation of the injections.
