The preoperative and postoperative intraocular pressure (IOP), the results of Schirmer, and tear break-up time tests were analyzed. Postoperative bleb morphology was also evaluated at the 1st day, and 1st and 2nd weeks, and 1st and 2nd months.Results: There was no statistically significant difference in preoperative IOP, Schirmer test or tear break-up time between groups. The mean horizontal extent of the blebs was significantly wider in Group 1 at the first week (p= 0.02). Bleb vascularization was also found to be lower in Group 1 at the second week (p= 0.001). The mean bleb height and horizontal extent were significantly higher in Group 1 at the first month (p=0.02, p= 0.03, respectively). The mean bleb horizontal extent was significantly higher in Group 1 at the second month (p= 0.03).Conclusion: The use of trehalose improved surgical success of primary trabeculectomy with MMC in terms of IOP control, post-operative complications, and bleb morphology during the early postoperative period. Trehalose might contribute to wound healing which led to an ideal bleb.Keywords: bleb morphology, glaucoma, Schirmer test, trabeculectomy, trehaloseSen EElgin UOzen OOzturk FGDove Medical Pressarticlebleb morphologyglaucomaschirmer testtrabeculectomytrehaloseOphthalmologyRE1-994ENClinical Ophthalmology, Vol Volume 15, Pp 2301-2306 (2021)
