ABSTRACT
It is important to assess each patient individually before undertaking trabeculect-
omy. Aiming for a target pressure specific for each individual eye should be an important
consideration.
There are many different modifications of the trabeculectomy technique (3). To
obtain optimum results, however, careful attention to detail at every step of the procedure
is essential. In this way, outcomes can be improved and complications minimized. In
general, everything possible to minimize fibroblast proliferation should be done, with as
little tissue manipulation as possible.
