2. Minimally invasive glaucoma surgery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimally_invasive...

   Micro-invasive glaucoma surgery ( MIGS) is the latest advance in surgical treatment for glaucoma, which aims to reduce intraocular pressure by either increasing outflow of aqueous humor or reducing its production. MIGS comprises a group of surgical procedures which share common features. [1] MIGS procedures involve a minimally invasive approach ...

3. Glaucoma surgery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glaucoma_surgery

   Glaucoma is a group of diseases affecting the optic nerve that results in vision loss and is frequently characterized by raised intraocular pressure (IOP). There are many glaucoma surgeries, and variations or combinations of those surgeries, that facilitate the escape of excess aqueous humor from the eye to lower intraocular pressure, and a few that lower IOP by decreasing the production of ...

4. Trabeculectomy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trabeculectomy

   Conclusion. Trabeculectomy is the most common invasive glaucoma surgery. It is highly effective in the treatment of advanced glaucoma as demonstrated in major glaucoma studies. [citation needed] Even if a prior trabeculectomy has failed a second trabeculectomy can be performed at a different site. If scarring is the main reason, anti-fibrotic ...

5. Pilocarpine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilocarpine

   Pilocarpine is a medication used to reduce pressure inside the eye and treat dry mouth. As an eye drop it is used to manage angle closure glaucoma until surgery can be performed, ocular hypertension, primary open angle glaucoma, and to constrict the pupil after dilation.

6. Iridectomy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iridectomy

   It facilitates the removal of the cataractous lens. [1] A sector iridectomy, also known as a complete iridectomy or total iridectomy, is the surgical removal of a complete radial section of the iris extending from the pupillary margin to the root of the iris. [2] A key-hole pupil is left by the removal of a wedge-shaped section of iris.

7. Cyclodestruction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclodestruction

   Cyclodestruction. Cyclodestruction or cycloablation is a surgical procedure done in management of glaucoma. Cyclodestruction reduces intraocular pressure (IOP) of the eye by decreasing production of aqueous humor by the destruction of ciliary body. Until the development of safer and less destructive techniques like micropulse diode ...
