The Incidence of Clinically Significant Hypotony After Trabeculectomy.
What's New
Only 20% of eyes with numerically low pressure after trabeculectomy developed clinical signs of hypotony, and Asian ethnicity was associated with lower risk.
Detailed Summary
A retrospective cohort study of 992 eyes that underwent trabeculectomy with mitomycin-C found that 28.6% had numerical hypotony but only 10% met criteria for clinical hypotony. Asian ethnicity (OR 0.29; P=0.015) and postoperative suture lysis (OR 0.49; P=0.006) were each associated with lower odds of clinically significant hypotony.
