Visual Field Outcomes in the Tube Versus Trabeculectomy Study.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To describe visual field (VF) outcomes in the Tube Versus Trabeculectomy (TVT) Study.

Design

Cohort analysis of patients in a multicenter randomized clinical trial.

Participants

A total of 122 eyes of 122 patients, with 61 eyes in both the tube shunt and trabeculectomy groups.

Methods

The TVT Study is a multicenter randomized clinical trial comparing the safety and efficacy of tube shunt surgery (350-mm² Baerveldt implant) and trabeculectomy with mitomycin C (MMC) (0.4 mg/ml for 4 minutes) in patients with previous cataract or glaucoma surgery. Enrolled patients underwent perimetry at baseline and annual follow-up visits. The VFs were included if the false-positive rate was ≤20% and false-negative rate was ≤35%. The VFs were excluded if visua
