    Transcleral fistulizing surgery failure is indicated by a lack of an anemic, cystic bleb and reduced fluorescein fluorescence. Eccentric suction can be used to create or improve bleb formation, offering a quantitative measure of function.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Surgical Innovation

    Background:

    • Transcleral fistulizing surgery is a glaucoma treatment.
    • Assessing the success of this surgery is crucial for patient outcomes.

    Observation:

    • Failure of transcleral fistulizing surgery is often associated with the absence of an anemic, cystic bleb.
    • Reduced fluorescein fluorescence in the bleb area also indicates surgical failure.

    Findings:

    • Eccentric suction is a viable method to create or enhance bleb formation in suitable eyes.
    • This technique induces localized ocular massage, mobilizes conjunctival and episcleral tissues, and provides a quantifiable assessment of bleb function.

    Implications:

    • Eccentric suction offers a novel approach to improve surgical success rates in glaucoma.
