We report the adjuvant role of oral doxycycline therapy for the management of early bleb leaks post mitomycin-augmented trabeculectomy. Two glaucoma patients, who underwent trabeculectomy with mitomycin C, presented with a low intraocular pressure (IOP) in the early postoperative period. Both patients had moderately elevated bleb with Seidel's positive test. Oral doxycycline 100 mg twice daily was given for 1 week in addition to routine postoperative management. Post doxycycline therapy at 1 week, healing of the wound was noted, with a negative Seidel's test. The IOP was maintained at 3 months postoperatively in both patients.
