AB  - The processes regulating ocular scarring are numerous and complex, with modulation being now possible at virtually every stage of the healing response. This article reviews existing and potential therapies that modify the scarring response with particular reference to glaucoma filtration surgery. Although the introduction of the antiproliferative drugs mitomycin-C (MMC) and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) represents a major advance in antiscarring treatments, they are associated with significant complications. It is only with increasing knowledge of the mechanisms underlying the scarring process that refinement and development of such therapies can be achieved. As we move into the next millennium, new techniques and technologies in molecular therapy and cell biology provide exciting alternative strategies that may offer safer, more specific, focal, and titratable treatments with far- reaching clinical applications.
