Abstract

Glaucoma is the leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide [1, 2]. Though trabeculectomy still remains the “gold standard” in glaucoma surgery, it is associated with significant morbidity such as hypotony and bleb-related complications [3–5]. With this background, there has been a constant search for alternative procedures that are less invasive and safer, have optimal IOP-lowering effect, and improve quality of life in patients with chronic glaucoma.
