This study investigated the intraocular pressure (IOP) lowering effect of subconjunctival injection of mitomycin C (MMC) in human eyes blinded by glaucoma. Twenty eyes received injection of 1 mg MMC and were followed up for two months. A statistically significant decline in IOP was observed until day 30 in all patients. The IOP-lowering effect of 1 mg subconjunctivally injected MMC in patients with intractable glaucoma appears to be temporary.
