  Aim: To analyze the mid-term effect of filtering surgery in patients with corticosteroid-induced glaucoma (CIG). Methods: This case-series study consisted of 20 eyes of 15 corticosteroid-induced glaucoma patients who received trabeculectomy or non-penetrating trabecular surgery (NPTS) from March 2005 to March 2008. Both preoperative and postoperative intraocular pressure (IOP), cup -disk ratio, Humphrey visual fields, number of glaucoma medications were recorded. Characteristics of postoperative blebs were analyzed with Ultrasound biomicroscope (UBM), and slitlamp. Bleb grading and Ultrasound biomicroscope were performed on all glaucoma surgery eyes at a single final time point. Results: 14 eyes were performed trabeculectomy, 6 eyes were performed NPTS. Mean IOP before and after trabeculectomy were 30.5±13.1 and 11... View More»
