Abstract:·AIM:To analyze the effect of massage on eyeball to prevent intraocular hypertension after trabeculectomy.·METHODS:We preformed normal trabeculectomy on 33 glaucoma patients(57 eyes).After operation,the 33 patients were randomly divided into two groups:therapy group(group A),including 17 patients(29 eyes)and control group(group B),including 16 patients(28 eyes).These patients in therapy group received not only conven-tional treatment,but also massage on eyeball.These patients in control group received only conventional treat-ment.To observe intraocular pressure of these patients in two groups within 6-24 months after operation.·RESULTS:There were 2 eyes of therapy group over 21mmHg.And there were 10 eyes of control group over 21mmHg.The difference between the two groups showed statistical significance(P<0.01).·CONCLUSION:Massage on eyeball can effectively prevent intraocular hypertension after trabeculectomy.·
