Abstract
This pilot study demonstrates that tissue obtained during KDB goniotomy has a high yield of containing TM compared to reported yield of TM in specimens collected from traditional ab externo trabeculectomy (71% vs 20%, respectively). These goniotomy specimens possess sufficient anatomic preservation to be studied histologically. Trabecular meshwork obtained with this procedure may provide a novel modality to study TM dysfunction in open-angle glaucomas.
