Glaucoma surgeons are constantly clamoring for better surgical techniques. Traditional, incisional glaucoma surgery shunts fluid to the subconjunctival space and provides a route for aqueous to leave the eye by bypassing the normal outflow system and avoiding sources of resistance to outflow, said Barbara Smit, MD, PhD.
