Changes of the Peripapillary Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer After Filtration Surgery in Glaucoma Patients

Stopped: short of study staff

Germany12 participantsStarted 2011-11

Plain-language summary

At present, trabeculectomy is the most common performed and effective surgical method of filtration surgery for patients with medically uncontrolled glaucoma. The aim of this prospective observational case study is to determine changes of the peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer thickness using spectral domain optical coherence tomography in patients with glaucoma after surgical reduction of intraocular pressure.
