Abstract
Trabeculectomy is glaucoma filtration surgery that lowers Intra-Ocular Pressure(IOP). The indications include all glaucomas. There are variations in the procedure, pre and post operative management, and results vary among different centers and surgeons. The indications of trabeculectomy are changing in recent years, especially in primary and secondary open angle glaucomas. The clinical outcome of trabeculectomy is affected by the indications for surgery, intraocular inflammation, and antiglaucoma medication use. Our study aims to study the longterm clinical outcome of trabeculectomy in patients with various types of glaucoma s. This retrospective observational study was conducted on 63 eyes of 54 patients which underwent trabeculectomy with more than 3 months post-operative duration. All the eyes underwent clinical examination, and glaucoma evaluation .The pre and post-operative details were retrieved from patient records. Overall success rate of trabeculectomy in long term was 76.19%.
