One-year results of two-site trabeculotomy in paediatric glaucoma following cataract surgery.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The management of glaucoma following cataract surgery (GFCS) in children is challenging. This study looks at the results of two-site trabeculotomy in paediatric aphakic/pseudophakic glaucoma, 1-year post operatively.

Methods

This prospective, institutional study was performed on 33 eyes with GFCS in patients aged ≤14 years. Patients underwent two-site trabeculotomy using the rigid-probe trabeculotome, through a superonasal and an inferotemporal scleral flap. Intraocular pressure (IOP), medications, complications and success rates at 1 year were reported. Success was defined as IOP < 23 mmHg or 30% IOP reduction, on the same or fewer number of medications at 1 year, without the need for another glaucoma procedure.

Results

Trabeculotomy was performed on average
