Trabeculectomy: chronic inflammatory corneo-conjunctival infiltration. a-c show basal epithelium after trabeculectomy with diffuse hyper-reflective inflammatory cells (infiltrate) and bright micro-particles. Micro-blebs are evident associated with lymphocytes and pigment at basal epithelium in (d). e & f show a rarefaction of sub-epithelial nerve fibers associated with peri-neural inflammation. g-i show the bleb with intra-bleb connective tissue sepiments indicating a potential time-dependent inflammatory fibrosis and bleb failure
