Abstract

Purpose: To report the surgical outcome of juvenile glaucoma who had filtering surgery with Mitomycin C (MMC). Methods: We have studied 38 patients (42 eyes, respectively) who were diagnosed as primary open angle glaucoma (31 patients), secondary open angle glaucoma (6 patients) and primary angle closure glaucoma (1 patients). The patients have been followed up for 24 months. Results: Of total 42 eyes, 32 eyes had trabeculectomy only and the other 10 eyes had combined trabeculectomy and trabeculotomy. Mean preoperative intraocular pressure (IOP) was 34.412.0 mmHg, which was dropped to 13.34.0 mmHg postoperatively. There were statistically significant drop of IOP after filtering operation (P
