NCT00346489

Brief Summary

A clinical trial to establish the long term response of using intraoperative 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) versus mitomycin C (MMC) in trabeculectomy glaucoma surgery. Antiproliferative agents such as 5-fluorouracil and Mitomycin C have been used extensively in trabeculectomy surgery to improve the success of the surgery and prevent further visual loss and blindness in glaucoma patients.
