Astigmatism Post-trabeculectomy
Completed
- Conditions
- Glaucoma
- Registration Number
- NCT01711190
- Lead Sponsor
- Universitaire Ziekenhuizen KU Leuven
- Brief Summary
The aim of this project:
1. Confirming the modification in corneal astigmatism after trabeculectomy with MMC and intracameral administration of bevacizumab.
2. Medium-term follow up (6 months) of the induced corneal astigmatism.
3. Investigating correlations between postoperative astigmatism, particularly with the postoperative IOP.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Change in ocular cylinder and axis untill 6 months after trabeculectomy. pre-operative until 6 months post-operative Comparing the change in corneal cylinder, axis and IOP before the operation and 1,3 and 6 months after the operation. We will compare these vectors by vector analyses.
