Abstract:
We evaluated the influence of apraclonidine on the outcome of filtering surgery. Patients treated with apraclonidine who underwent a guarded filtration procedure were retrospectively evaluated and compared to a control group. Complications were more frequent in patients treated with apraclonidine than in the control group, but the difference was not statistically significant. We encourage further studies regarding the effects of apraclonidine in filtering procedures.
