Summary:

It is evident that in the last couple of years there has been a surge of interest in research in the field of glaucoma surgery. This includes research in the improvement of conventional glaucoma surgery; trabeculectomy, and glaucoma drainage devices, as well as research in more recently introduced surgical methods and their emplacement in our range of surgical therapeutic options. Modulation of wound healing, a factor of paramount importance, has also received its share of research interest. More recently, research has embarked on identifying different surgical approaches and alternative surgery
