Trabeculectomy

Trabeculectomy is the most common form of incisional surgical glaucoma treatment. This involves creation of a communication between the fluid compartment in the eye with the layer underneath the conjunctiva or the skin like layer of the eye. In general, this procedure is reserved for situations in which drops and laser do not adequately control the intraocular pressure.
