  • If the leak allows bulk flow of aqueous, the rest of the bleb' can collapse, allowing apposition of the inflamed inner '''bleb''' walls, which are likely to adhere. If such adherence is over most or all of the '''bleb''' area, ' bleb failure is probably inevitable.

The ' bleb expands locally, producing a tractional hole when the tissue overreaches its maximal stretch.
