    Trabeculectomy outcomes were analyzed using visual field data. Visual field defect size, not post-operative pressure, correlated with visual field changes after glaucoma surgery.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Glaucoma Research
    • Surgical Outcomes

    Background:

    • Trabeculectomy is a common surgical procedure for glaucoma.
    • Monitoring visual field changes post-surgery is crucial for patient management.
    • Previous studies have explored factors influencing visual field stability.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To retrospectively analyze visual field changes after trabeculectomy.
    • To investigate the correlation between visual field progression and post-operative intraocular pressure.
    • To identify predictors of visual field stability in patients who underwent trabeculectomy.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of visual field data from 20 eyes post-trabeculectomy.
    • Utilized computerized perimetry to assess visual field status.

  • Applied regression analysis to track visual field changes over time.

    • Main Results:

    • No significant correlation was found between the regression coefficient (rate of visual field change) and mean post-operative intraocular pressure.
    • Similarly, no correlation was observed between the regression coefficient and mean pressure reduction.
    • A significant dependence was noted between the regression coefficient and the initial size of the visual field defect.

    Conclusions:

    • Visual field defect size, rather than intraocular pressure control, appears to be a key factor in visual field progression after trabeculectomy.
    • These findings suggest that pre-existing visual field damage may influence long-term outcomes.
    • Further research is warranted to understand the implications for surgical decision-making and patient monitoring.
