Postoperative adjunctive bevacizumab versus placebo in primary trabeculectomy surgery for glaucoma.

Aim: To compare the effectiveness of postoperative adjunctive use of subconjunctival bevacizumab in altering the outcome of primary trabeculectomy in terms of sustained lowering of intraocular pressure (IOP) and reduction of postoperative bleb vascularization and fibrosis.

Methods: A prospective, one center, randomized, placebo-control study. Fifty-nine patients (59 eyes) with uncontrolled IOP under maximal tolerated medical treatment (MTMT) were recruited.

Surgical techniques for the treatment of conjunctivochalasis: paste-pinch-cut conjunctivoplasty versus thermal cautery conjunctivoplasty.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcomes of paste-pinch-cut conjunctivoplasty and cautery conjunctivoplasty for the treatment of symptomatic conjunctivochalasis.

Design: This was a prospective cohort study.

Participants: Sixteen patients (32 eyes) with bilateral conjunctivochalasis that was symptomatic after medical therapy were enrolled in the study.
