Conjunctival characteristics in primary open-angle glaucoma and modifications induced by trabeculectomy with mitomycin C: an in vivo confocal microscopy study

Abstract

Conjunctival epithelial microcysts were demonstrable in glaucomatous eyes under medical therapy prior to trabeculectomy. The filtering procedure increased microcysts density and surface at bleb site indicating a marked postsurgical enhancement of aqueous filtration across conjunctiva.
