ABSTRACT
When performing non-penetrating glaucoma surgery the surgeon, besides obtaining adequate control of intraocular pressure (IOP), has two aims. First, a trabeculoDescemet’s window needs to be created that allows a reproducible postoperative outflow resistance, thereby decreasing the immediate postoperative complication rate. Second, an intrascleral filtering bleb needs to be promoted at the expense of a subconjunctival bleb, thus reducing the risk of late hypotony and blebrelated endophthalmitis.
