Abstract

The article reports on the clinical outcomes of trabeculectomy in the U.S. A systematic, evidence-based review of prior randomized clinical trials (RCTs) of aqueous shunts have found no clear evidence that long-term clinical outcomes of trabeculectomy differ substantially from those of aqueous shunts in similar patients with complicated glaucoma over similar follow-up.
