    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Surgical Procedures
    • Glaucoma Management

    Background:

    • Trabeculectomy is a common glaucoma surgery.
    • Outcomes can vary significantly between patient populations.
    • Long-term efficacy data in Black patients is crucial.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the success rate of trabeculectomy in Black patients.
    • To identify factors influencing surgical outcomes.
    • To assess long-term pressure control post-surgery.

    Main Methods:

    • A retrospective analysis of 122 trabeculectomy procedures.
    • Minimum 12-month postoperative follow-up.
    • Assessment of glaucoma control with and without medication.

    Main Results:

    • Glaucoma control achieved in 57% of patients at 12 months.
    • 39% achieved control without medication; 18% required medication.
    • A significant correlation was observed between bleb presence and successful pressure control without medication.

    Conclusions:

    • Trabeculectomy demonstrates moderate success in controlling glaucoma in Black patients.
    • The presence of a functional bleb is a key indicator for medication-free success.
    • Surgical outcomes remain relatively stable beyond the 12-month postoperative period.
