Which is better for anti-glaucoma surgery, filtering bleb dependence or non-dependence
Xie L; Zhu XMChinese Journal of Ophthalmology 2018; 54: 806-810
The filtration bleb dependent surgeries, such as trabeculectomy, are the main methods for glaucoma treatment in China. However, the filtration bleb scarring after the surgery has always been a challenge to long-term results. In recent years, with the application of anti-glaucoma non-filtering bleb dependent surgery, the surgery complications of filter bubble dependence have been avoided, such as shallow anterior chamber and leakage of filtering bleb. Researches are still needed on the indications, long-term effects and health economics evaluations. It also takes time to widely popularize its application in China. This article focuses on comparing the filtration bleb dependent surgeries with non-filtering bleb dependent surgeries to deeply state the characteristics, advantages and disadvantages of the two methods. -.
