Treatment is designed to prevent the disease. Treatment does that by preventing pain and loss of ganglion cells. Unless it is probable that the patient will be in some展开更多

Methods: Observational series of 17 cases having guarded filtration procedure. 5-FU was administered postperatively as follows: The eye was anesthetized topically. A 30-gauge needle on a vial of Healon GV was introduced into the inferotemporal conjunctiva 5mm inferior to the limbus, and a bolus of 0.2 mL of展开更多
