title: Appraisal of Bleb Using Trio of Intraocular Pressure, Morphology on Slit Lamp, and Gonioscopy.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The aim of this study was to assess bleb function using Wuerzburg bleb classification score (WBCS) for bleb morphology on slit lamp, intraocular pressure (IOP), and gonioscopy.
  
  
  METHODS
  A total of randomly selected 30 eyes posttrabeculectomy were assessed for bleb function with the trio of bleb morphology, IOP, and gonioscopy. Bleb was assessed using the WBCS of 0-12 on slit lamp, IOP was assessed using applanation tonometry, and visualization of inner ostium and iridectomy were assessed using gonioscopy. Postoperative patients of less than six weeks were excluded from the study.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The correlation between WBCS and the duration of trabeculectomy was found to be highly significant (Pvalue = 0.029). The correlation of IOP with WBCS was also found to be strongly positive (P= 0.000). IOP was found to be highly associated with peripheral iridectomy (P= 0.000), internal window (P= 0.001), and bleb characteristics.
