1. INTRODUCTION
Although major advances have been made in the medical management of glaucoma,
filtration surgery (trabeculectomy) remains a common operation for patients with
poorly controlled intraocular pressure (IOP) and progressive vision loss. Evidence from
a recent clinical trial (1) that this vision loss can occur at IOPs within the statistical
normal range has increased the clinical challenge for glaucoma physicians in achieving
therapeutic target IOPs.
