This study compared bleb assessment methods, finding the visual IBAGS scale correlated better with IOP than AS-OCT. This suggests IBAGS is more relevant for predicting trabeculectomy success and guiding glaucoma management.

This study found trabectome surgery effectively lowers IOP in mild-moderate POAG, regardless of Schlemm's canal blood-filling patterns, suggesting consistent efficacy for patients.

Cataract surgery negatively impacts glaucoma filtering bleb morphology (height, thickness, hyporeflective space) and increases intraocular pressure, highlighting a clinical concern for patients with prior trabeculectomy.

Early bleb characteristics (taller, thicker walls, "striping") seen on 3D AS-OCT at 2 weeks predict successful IOP control one year after trabeculectomy, offering a prognostic tool for glaucoma management.
