Circumferential Surgery of Glaucoma: A Brief History

Kanku Rawath

Elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) is the cardial risk factor for improvement and movement of glaucoma. Milestone studies, for example, OHTS and AGIS set up the significance of IOP decrease. Raised IOP is an outcome of expanded outpouring obstruction in the traditional (trabeculocanalicular) surge pathway. Careful mediations to diminish IOP expect to either go around the ordinary pathway, similarly as with filtration systems, or eliminate or sidestep obstruction working with physiological outpouring.
