2. Trabeculectomy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trabeculectomy

   Trabeculectomy is a surgical procedure used in the treatment of glaucoma to relieve intraocular pressure by removing part of the eye 's trabecular meshwork and adjacent structures. It is the most common glaucoma surgery performed and allows drainage of aqueous humor from within the eye to underneath the conjunctiva where it is absorbed.

3. Glaucoma surgery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glaucoma_surgery

   Glaucoma surgery. Glaucoma is a group of diseases affecting the optic nerve that results in vision loss and is frequently characterized by raised intraocular pressure (IOP). There are many glaucoma surgeries, and variations or combinations of those surgeries, that facilitate the escape of excess aqueous humor from the eye to lower intraocular ...

4. Minimally invasive glaucoma surgery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimally_invasive...

   Micro-invasive glaucoma surgery ( MIGS) is the latest advance in surgical treatment for glaucoma, which aims to reduce intraocular pressure by either increasing outflow of aqueous humor or reducing its production. MIGS comprises a group of surgical procedures which share common features. [ 1] MIGS procedures involve a minimally invasive ...

5. Glaucoma valve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glaucoma_valve

   The glaucoma valve implant is indicated for glaucoma patients not responding to maximal medical therapy, with previous failed guarded filtering surgery ( trabeculectomy) or in cases where conventional drainage surgery is unlikely to succeed. Common situations where the use of a glaucoma implant as a primary procedure is indicated include.

7. Trabeculoplasty - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trabeculoplasty

   Trabeculoplasty is a laser treatment for glaucoma. It is done on an argon laser equipped slit lamp, using a Goldmann gonioscope lens mirror. Specifically, an argon laser is used to improve drainage through the eye's trabecular meshwork, from which the aqueous humour drains. This helps reduce intraocular pressure caused by open-angle glaucoma.
