The authors performed nonpenetrating trabeculectomy with deep sclerectomy in 21 eyes. The series comprised primary open-angle glaucoma (11 eyes), normal-tension glaucoma (two eyes), capsular glaucoma (three eyes), primary closed-angle glaucoma (two eyes), and one eye each of traumatic and developmental glaucoma. Eight eyes in the series received simultaneous cataract surgery. The follow-up period averaged 3.7 ± 1.5 months. The pre- and postoperative intraocular pressure (IOP) averaged 22.5 ± 6.5 mmHg and 12.8 ± 3.0 mmHg, respectively. The difference was significant (p ≤ 0.05). The number of antiglaucomatous medication before and after surgery averaged 2.5 ± 1.3 and 0.7 ± 1.1, respectively. The difference was significant (p < 0.05). There was no difference regarding the IOP control and number of medication between 13 eyes that received glaucoma surgery only and eight eyes that received additional cataract surgery. No eyes developed deterioration in visual field after surgery. Major complications comprised perforation into the anterior chamber (three eyes), wound opening (one eye), and peripheral anterior synechia (ten eyes). LA: Japanese
