Early results of punch trabeculectomy.

Purpose: To evaluate the effectiveness of punch trabeculectomy in controlling intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients with uncontrolled chronic open-angle glaucoma (COAG) undergoing medical treatment.

Methods: This prospective study included 22 patients (27 eyes) with uncontrolled COAC on medical treatment undergoing punch trabeculectomy through a scleral tunnel. The tunnel was created with a 3.

A comparison of the effectiveness of dorzolamide and acetazolamide in preventing post-operative intraocular pressure rise following phacoemulsification surgery.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of topical dorzolamide versus systemic acetazolamide in preventing the intraocular pressure (IOP) spike, following routine phacoemulsification surgery. In this prospective study, 59 eyes (59 patients), undergoing routine phacoemulsification surgery with posterior intraocular implant, were divided into three groups. Group 1 received acetazolamide 250 mg SR orally, immediately post-operatively.
