Abstract
This study compared the effect of trabeculectomy vs medical therapy on pulsatile ocular blood flow (POBF) in eyes with primary open-angle glaucoma. Thirty-eight patients with primary open-angle glaucoma, in whom one eye had glaucoma surgery and the other eye received topical antiglaucoma therapy, underwent bilateral POBF testing before treatment and at 3-month follow-up. The POBF in trabeculectomy-treated eyes was significantly higher at 3 months than in contralateral eyes treated medically.
