Abstract:
Recent years have seen a trend towards change in glaucoma treatment. In addition to classic trabeculectomy, implant surgeries such as those based on the Baerveldt, Ahmed and Molteno devices are increasingly performed as a primary procedure. This is doubtless partly due to the fact that surgeons have become more comfortable with the use of tube shunts and their postoperative management. The aim of this article is to present the currently available evidence on glaucoma surgery in a succinct format, to enable the best possible decisions to be made for patients.
