An Emerging Multi-mechanism and Multi-modal Approach in Interventional Glaucoma Therapy

Abstract

trabecular outflow, uveoscleral outflow, aqueous suppression) and modalities (medications, laser, incisional surgery) by which intraocular pressure (IOP) is reduced. Many patients require more than one treatment to achieve adequate IOP reduction and glaucoma control. Comprehensive IOP control-reduction of both mean IOP and IOP fluctuation-can best be achieved by targeting multiple mechanisms of IOP reduction and taking advantage of the attributes of multiple treatment modalities.
