| Research Abstract |
An experimental glaucoma filtration surgery was performed for rabbits. Conjunctival epithelial damage was all reduced in MMC+HPF eyes compared to MMC-only eyes and the film without honeycomb structure eyes treated with MMC. The concomitant use of a thin biodegradable HPF reduced conjunctival damage in blebs without compromising filtration in rabbits following filtration surgery with MMC. HPF : Honeycomb-patterned film
