【 摘 要 】

Incisional filtration surgery with bleb formation has been the mainstay of glaucoma surgery for decades and is particularly useful in progressing or advanced glaucoma. However, the flipside of these procedures is the sight-threatening complications that may occur. Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery has made in-roads in the past two decades – these are known to be high on the safety aspect and therefore can be used much earlier on in the disease spectrum. Some of these relatively new devices and procedures are now available in India also.
