Needling revision of trabeculectomies bleb morphology and long-term survival.

Purpose: To assess the long-term success rate and to determine factors that predict survival after 5-fluorouracil-augmented needling revision of poorly functioning trabeculectomy blebs.

Design: Prospective observational cohort study.

Participants: Eighty-one consecutive patients undergoing bleb needling.

Cataract surgery after needling revision of trabeculectomy blebs.

Purpose: To assess the effect of cataract surgery on trabeculectomy blebs that have previously had successful needling revision.

Study Design: A retrospective controlled study.

Patients And Methods: A cohort of patients undergoing needling of a poorly functioning trabeculectomy bleb was collected.

Sensitivity and specificity of frequency-doubling technology, tendency-oriented perimetry, and Humphrey Swedish interactive threshold algorithm-fast perimetry in a glaucoma practice.

Purpose: To evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of the screening mode of the Humphrey-Welch Allyn frequency-doubling technology (FDT), Octopus tendency-oriented perimetry (TOP), and the Humphrey Swedish Interactive Threshold Algorithm (SITA)-fast (HSF) in patients with glaucoma.

Design: A comparative consecutive case series.

Methods: This was a prospective study which took place in the glaucoma unit of an academic department of ophthalmology.
