This study compared the effect of trabeculectomy versus medical therapy on pulsatile ocular blood flow (POBF) in eyes with primary open angle glaucoma, Thirty-eight patients with primary open-angle glaucoma, in whom one eye had glaucoma surgery and the other eye received topical antiglaucoma therapy, underwent bilateral POBF testing before treatment and at the three-month follow-up. POBF in trabeculectomy treated eyes was significantly higher at three months than in contralateral eyes treated medically.
