TI  - The outcome of trabeculectomy for primary glaucoma in adult patients in UKM.
PG  - 17-25
AB  - A clinical audit was conducted for a 4-year period at the Universiti Kebangsaan 
      Malaysia (UKM) Ophthalmology Department in which 61 eyes of adult patients with 
      primary glaucoma underwent trabeculectomies without antimetabolites. At a 2-year 
      follow-up duration, successful trabeculectomies as defined by intraocular 
      pressure below 20 mm Hg without additional glaucoma medication were 62% for 
      primary open-angle glaucoma, 48% for primary acute angle-closure glaucoma and 43% 
      for chronic angle-closure glaucoma. 50.8% of eyes were without complications 
      while 49.2% had complications. Shallow anterior chamber (22.9%) and hyphaema 
      (19.7%) were the two commonest complications.
