Popis: | PURPOSE Whereas achieving intraocular pressure (IOP) targets ≤ 10 mm Hg typically requires surgical intervention, we sought to examine the safety and efficacy of trabeculectomy in normal-tension glaucoma (NTG). METHODS Patients with progressive NTG undergoing trabeculectomy with preoperative IOP ≤ 15 mm Hg during the 12-month period before surgery were identified at a single academic institution. Failure was defined as IOP reduction |
