Abstract

During the last few years, there has been a considerable capacity of innovations in glaucoma surgery owing to new micro-stents increasing the aqueous outflow via transscleral routes, via the trabecular meshwork or the suprachoroidal space. These interventions can be easily performed in combination with small-incision cataract surgery. Even the well-known filtering procedures, trabeculectomy and drainage device surgery, formerly perceived as being outdated, re-achieve better reputation owing to refinements in surgical technique and improved surgical experience. Although enthusiasm is understandable, considering the technical advances, we must wait for clinical long-term results and compare the new procedures with the established ones.
