Blindness and prognostic factors after trabeculectomy with mitomycin C in patients with open‐angle glaucoma with long‐term follow‐up
One-eighth and one-sixth of the eyes became blind at 10 and 20 years post-trabeculectomy using MMC. Preoperative severe visual impairment and visual field loss and postoperative nonsustained IOP reduction were identified as independent prognostic factors leading to blindness.
