Trabeculectomy With Antimetabolite Agents for Normal Tension Glaucoma: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Evidence regarding the impact on visual field (VF), intraocular pressure (IOP), and antiglaucoma medications from trabeculectomy with antimetabolites for normal tension glaucoma (NTG) is conflicting because of insufficient study sample sizes. The aim of this study is to systematically assess VF progression rate, IOP control and antiglaucoma medication use after trabeculectomy with antimetabolites for progressing NTG.

Methods

We searched published articles on PubMed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials from database inception to March 21, 2022. We selected studies that reported VF data before and after trabeculectomy with antimetabolite agents for NTG. We followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses repo
