Instrument allows novel approach to ab interno trabeculotomy
The evolution of technology in microincision glaucoma surgery pushes ophthalmologists and developers to create new approaches to better control IOP. If we were to imagine the ideal glaucoma surgery, what would it include?The first issue is to decide between an ab interno vs. ab externo approach. When treating glaucoma patients, the gold standard remains trabeculectomy and tube shunt surgery. This means that any new procedure that spares conjunctival tissue for use in later glaucoma surgery is ideal. Therefore, an ab interno approach is ideal.
