AI Summary
New glaucoma surgeries, including MIGS and bleb-forming techniques, offer less risky treatment options. Clinicians now have more tools, emphasizing evidence-based decisions for patient care.
Abstract
Purpose of review: Rapid innovation in glaucoma surgery is expanding surgical options in the angle, subconjunctival space, and supraciliary space.
Recent findings: Advancements in glaucoma surgery make it possible for surgeons to provide treatments with less risk. In particular, new devices and lasers are available for minimally invasive glaucoma surgeries. There are also new implants and techniques for bleb-forming glaucoma surgery.
Summary
As glaucoma surgeons have access to an increasing number of procedures, devices, and treatments, it is important for evidence to drive decision-making.
