- The study aimed to evaluate three different treatments for flat anterior chamber (FAC) due to overfiltration after trabeculectomy within the first two weeks after surgery.
- Thirty-six eyes were randomly assigned to three treatment groups: one group had anterior chamber reformation using viscoelastic substance, another used balanced salt solution with concurrent drainage, and the last group received pharmacologic therapy.
- Results showed that drainage with balanced salt solution resulted in worse visual acuity outcomes compared to medicinal therapy, while viscoelastic reformation showed a trend towards lower intraocular pressure.
