Abstract:
Although the literature provides approximate guidance on the treatment of glaucoma, it remains a complex puzzle with multiple pieces whose importance to the ultimate success varies widely from a person to another. In 1969 trabeculectomy signified a major step in glaucoma surgery becoming the first protected filtering procedure. Performed timely, not as a last therapy resort, trabeculectomy provides a maximum intraocular pressure reduction with a low rate of complications. Moorfield Safer Surgery System combines a number of beneficial chances to the classic trabeculectomy, changes leading to increased efficiency and safety of surgical procedure.

01:27Open Angle Glaucoma: Treatment
In open-angle glaucoma, the iridocorneal angle remains open, but the trabecular meshwork becomes stiff, slowing down the outflow of aqueous humor. This causes a buildup of aqueous humor in the anterior chamber, leading to a sudden increase in intraocular pressure. The treatment for open-angle glaucoma focuses on reducing the elevated intraocular pressure by either decreasing the secretion of aqueous humor or increasing its outflow.

01:28Angle Closure Glaucoma: Treatment
Angle-closure glaucoma, or closed-angle glaucoma, is an eye condition where the iris bulges out and blocks the iridocorneal angle, resulting in a buildup of aqueous humor and increased intraocular pressure. Immediate medical attention is necessary due to the sudden onset of symptoms. The treatment for angle-closure glaucoma includes short-term and long-term approaches. Short-term treatment involves using eye drops like pilocarpine to lower intraocular pressure by increasing aqueous humor...
