Introduction
Elevated IOP is a significant risk factor for
Glaucomatous neuropathy
Visual field loss
Decrease the IOP will preserve visual function
Filtering surgery is the most popular for
lowering IOP
History of Filtering Surgery
Target pressure
Some glaucoma patients progress even after
achieving target pressure reductions
recommended in guidelines for glaucoma
management.
More aggressive treatment that reduces IOP can
minimize the risk factor of glaucoma progression
Need minimal medical glaucoma adhesion to
prevent the progression, to maintain diurnal IOP
