Trabeculectomy with MMC combined with direct cauterization of peripheral iris decreases the incidence of both intraoperative bleeding, and early postoperative hyphema, and provides reduction of IOP and the number of antiglaucomatous medications in cases with NVG in a 6-month follow-up period.

Releasable scleral flap sutures reduce the incidence of shallow anterior chamber and iridocorneal touch after trabeculectomy. Releasable scleral flap suture technique and standard trabeculectomy are similar in terms of lowering intraocular pressure at 1-year-follow up.

The differences in mean eyelash lengths at baseline and at the sixth month of latanoprost therapy were statistically significant in both adults and children (p=0.000). The mean of the difference of the eyelash length in children was higher than in adults but the result was not statistically significant (p=0.678).

In addition to its effect in the accuracy of intraocular pressure measurements, CCT has a structural relationship with the ONH in healthy nonglaucomatous eyes. Therefore, its effect on disc area might be especially important to explain the structural strength of the ONH in the pathogenesis of glaucoma.

We suggest that secondary glaucoma is a common and serious complication of Behcet disease. It develops as a result of multiple factors, generally triggered by recurrent intraocular inflammation. Early recognition and treatment of these factors have vital importance to avoid the visual morbidity.
