American Journal of Ophthalmology
|June 15, 1986
Summary
Argon laser treatment effectively shrinks large conjunctival blebs after glaucoma surgery, resolving complications. This method maintained filtering capability without increasing intraocular pressure in patients.
Area of Science:
- Ophthalmology
- Surgical Innovation
Background:
- Large conjunctival blebs post-glaucoma filtering surgery can cause significant complications, including foreign-body sensation and endophthalmitis.
- Management of these blebs is crucial for patient comfort and visual health.
