Functional evaluation of the filtering bleb by ultrasound biomicroscopy after trabeculectomy with mitomycin C.

Aim: To study the role of ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) in the assessment of the bleb function after trabeculectomy with mitomycin C (MMC).

Methods: This was a cross-sectional study including all cases had undergone trabeculectomy with MMC 0.2 mg/mL for 3min.

Rigid Gas Permeable Contact Lens as a Vision-Sparing Tool in Children After Traumatic Corneal Laceration.

Purpose: To evaluate the clinical value of rigid gas permeable contact lenses in children after traumatic corneal scarring.

Methods: This comparative study included 15 children (age range: 5.7 to 14 years; mean ± standard deviation = 9.

Ultrasound biomicroscopy as a diagnostic tool in infants with primary congenital glaucoma.

Purpose: Studying the role of ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) in detection of anterior segment changes in infants with primary congenital glaucoma (PCG).

Methods: Cross-sectional study that included 25 eyes of 15 patients suffering from PCG and a control group of 15 eyes of ten age- and sex-matched participants. Diagnosis of PCG was based on clinical data (intraocular pressure, corneal diameter, fundus examination and amplitude-modulation scan measurement of axial length).
