DPP-4 Inhibitors Attenuate Fibrosis After Glaucoma Filtering Surgery by Suppressing the TGF-β/Smad Signaling Pathway.

The current study indicates the potential effect of DPP-4is for maintaining bleb function after glaucoma filtering surgery in patients with diabetes with NVG.

Prediction of Surgical Outcome After Trabeculectomy for Neovascular Glaucoma With Anterior-segment Optical Coherence Tomography.

AS-OCT-measured reflectivity of the bleb wall, measured at 1 week of trabeculectomy for NVG, might be able to predict of the final status of the bleb.

Optical Coherence Tomography Assessment of Risk Factors for Visual Acuity Decline After Trabeculectomy in Patients With Advanced Open-Angle Glaucoma.

This study found that thin mRNFLT in the PMB were risk factors for VA decline after trabeculectomy.

Quantification of the filtering bleb's structure with anterior segment optical coherence tomography.

Early postoperative AS-OCT measurements of blebs, especially horizontal brightness of the bleb wall, were associated with postoperative IOP at 6 months. AS-OCT measurements of blebs may be useful predictors of trabeculectomy outcomes.
