Success rates of trabeculotomy for steroid-induced glaucoma: a comparative, multicenter, retrospective cohort study.

摘要

IT IS WITH GREAT INTEREST THAT I READ THE ARTICLE BY Iwao and associates on the success of trabeculotomy in steroid glaucoma. There has been a long-felt need for studies looking at alternatives to trabeculectomy in glaucoma that can minimize surgical complications while providing adequate long-term intraocular pressure (IOP) control. So this multicenter study assumes great importance since it tries to rigorously address the issue of trabeculotomy vs trabeculectomy in steroid glaucoma.
