Activity Outline
There has been a rapid evolution of glaucoma surgery in the past two decades, leading to an ever-increasing array of treatment options for clinicians who treat glaucoma. Lowering intraocular pressure (IOP) to halt glaucoma progression remains the treatment aim for all surgeries. Innovations in glaucoma surgery aim to achieve this with less side effects and improved repeatability. Classical filtration surgery, however, is still the mainstay of surgical management owing to its efficacy in advanced glaucoma and long track record. Drs Aaron Wong and Ridia Lim look at developments in glaucoma surgery and review older surgical techniques that are still key in a glaucoma surgeon’s armamentarium.
