Purpose: To investigate the lymphatic vascular microvessel density (LVD) and the blood
vascular microvessel density (MVD) and their distribution in excised leaking blebs after
mitomycin C trabeculectomy and normal conjunctiva specimens. Materials and Methods:
LVD and MVD in normal human conjunctiva (n= 8) and excised blebs in the hypocellular
stroma and peribleb tissue (conjunctiva adjacent to hypocellular bleb tissue)(n= 8) were
evaluated by immunohistochemistry using antibodies raised against Lymphatic Vessel …
