AIM: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of trabeculectomy for glaucoma in high intraocular pressure in persistent. METHODS: Surgery was performed on 36 patients (40 eyes) with uncontrolled intraocular pressure, with drug visual acuity, filtering bled, anterior chamber, intraocular pressure and complications were observed after operation. RESULTS: All patients were followed up for 2-12 months, the IOP of 34 eyes (85%) were lower than 21 mmHg without any anti-glaucoma drug after the operation one month. After using part medicine IOP of 5 eyes (12%) were controlled. Visual acuity was improved in 21 eyes, kept the same in 10 eyes. No serious complications were found except malignant glaucoma.
