Bleb grading by photographs versus bleb grading by slit-lamp examination.

MaBAGS shows good reproducibility. Using such a grading system improves precision of the description of a highly variable clinical finding. The reliability of grading by slit-lamp examination exceeds that of grading on photographs.

The size of subconjunctival preparation does not influence the outcome of trabeculectomy with mitomycin C.

There were no significant differences between study groups in mean IOP reduction, change in BCVA, or number of applied 5-FU and SL at 1-year follow-up.
