[Tonometric results and complications of trabeculectomy in Black Africa. (Apropos of 170 cases of chronic open angle glaucoma operated on at the Ophthalmologic Clinic of CHU in Dakar)].
Intraocular pressure results and complications of trabeculectomy in Black African. The authors reported in 16 years 170 cases of trabeculectomy in Black African with open angle glaucoma. They observed excellent control of intraocular pressure (84% of normalisation at four years). This compared with others, shows that troubles are less important. All this advantages make that trabeculectomy is the best choice that authors advocate in surgical treatment of open angle glaucoma in our countries.
