    Transtrabecular iridectomy effectively normalized intraocular pressure in most narrow angle glaucoma patients. This surgical approach offers a promising alternative for managing glaucoma without long-term medication.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Surgical Procedures
    • Glaucoma Research

    Context:

    • Narrow angle glaucoma presents unique challenges for intraocular pressure management.
    • Traditional treatments may have limitations in specific patient populations.
    • Surgical interventions are explored to improve glaucoma outcomes.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of transtrabecular iridectomy in patients with narrow angle glaucoma.
    • To assess the impact of this surgical technique on intraocular pressure normalization.
    • To investigate the postoperative outcomes and potential mechanisms of transtrabecular iridectomy.

    Summary:

    • Transtrabecular iridectomy was performed on 20 eyes (17 with narrow angle glaucoma, 3 with obscured trabecular meshwork).
    • Postoperative findings included conjunctival adherence to the sclera (14 eyes) and bleb formation (6 eyes).

  • Within 12-24 months, 15 of 17 eyes achieved normalized intraocular pressure without miotics.

    • Impact:

    • Demonstrates the potential of transtrabecular iridectomy as an effective surgical treatment for narrow angle glaucoma.
    • Suggests a viable surgical option for normalizing intraocular pressure, potentially reducing reliance on medication.
    • Provides insights into the surgical mechanism and outcomes, contributing to glaucoma surgical technique advancements.
