Abstract
Thirty-four consecutive glaucoma triple procedures with a minimum follow up of six months have been shown to be effective and safe. Satisfactory control of the glaucoma was achieved in each case, and 91% of eyes were returned to an acuity of 6/12 or better. 1% sodium hyaluronate was found to be beneficial by preventing scleral or corneal collapse during surgery and ensuring an even filtration postoperatively without hypotony.
