Indomethacin collyrium, a powerful inhibitor of prostaglandin synthesis, was used successfully in many applications. The authors evaluated its action in the surgery of glaucoma. Two groups of patients had a trabeculectomy. The first group received instillation of indomethacin; the second was a control group. Four parameters were evaluated and compared in both groups: 1. Inflammatory state of the anterior chamber (AC). 2. Anterior chamber depth. 3. Filtration bleb state. 4. Intra-ocular pressure. Indomethacin promotes the establishment of a good filtration bleb that yields on a lasting ocular hypotonia, thus improving the results.
