  1. filtration surgery

    Filtration surgery is a type of surgical procedure used primarily in the treatment of glaucoma to relieve intraocular pressure where medication has failed or is not appropriate. The procedure involves creating a drainage pathway for the fluid in the eye (aqueous humor) to flow out of the eye, thereby reducing pressure within the eye. This can help to prevent or slow down damage to the optic nerve and loss of vision.
