1. INTRODUCTION
Ocular massage is likely the most commonly used maneuver to improve the surgical
success in the postoperative management of trabeculectomies. The intended purpose of
ocular massage is to encourage the flow of aqueous humor through the ostium and into
the subconjunctival space thus elevating and enlarging the filtration bleb, lowering intra-
ocular pressure and preventing any obstructions to filtration from becoming permanent.
