Abstract

100 eyes of 100 patients operated at least 1 year ago retrospectively , 20 eyes of 20 patients evaluated in prospective study bleb photographs evaluated by two masked observers as avascular bleb, fibrosed bleb and good diffuse blebs based on pre surgical factors like age, sex, baseline IOP, duration of glaucoma medication, surgical factors like tenon thickness, MMC, size of scleral flap and ostium, size of iridectomy. None of the above factors affecting bleb morphology and majority of blebs were good diffuse one and there was no difference among MMC and non MMC group. At 1 year absolute success rate was higher with MMC group compared with non MMC group.
