Early Intrableb Features on Anterior Segment Swept-Source Optical Coherence Tomography Predict Surgical Success After Trabeculectomy in Uveitic and Neovascular Glaucoma.

ABSTRACT: Background: This study aimed to evaluate prognostic factors of early filtering blebs using anterior segment swept-source optical coherence tomography (AS SS-OCT) in patients with uveitic and neovascular glaucoma. Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 22 eyes from 22 patients who underwent trabeculectomy (11 eyes each with uveitic or neovascular glaucoma). Intrableb characteristics were assessed using AS SS-OCT at 1 month, postoperatively. Surgical success was defined as intraocular pressure (IOP) ≤ 18 mmHg and ≥30% IOP reduction without medication at 12 months. Logistic regression was used to identify the prognostic factors associated with IOP control. Results: Sixteen eyes (72.7%) achieved surgical success, while six (27.3%) were unsuccessful. Eyes with su
