Transconjunctival reopening of an occluded filtration fistula with the Q-switched neodymium-YAG laser

The Q-switched neodymium-YAG laser was used via a transconjunctival approach to reopen a failed filtering bleb, 6 weeks after a primarily successful trabeculectomy had failed. One day after treatment, the intraocular pressure had decreased from 34 mm Hg to 17 mm Hg, and a conjunctival bleb had refor...
