Glaucoma Surgery Trabeculectomy is the most common surgical non-laser procedure performed for glaucoma when the IOP is no longer controlled by eye drops, pills or laser trabeculoplasties. A trabeculectomy creates a controlled leak of fluid (aqueous humor) from the eye, which percolates under the conjunctiva.

TREATING GLAUCOMA TREATING GLAUCOMA. Glaucoma can be treated with eye drops, pills, laser surgery, traditional surgery or a combination of these methods. The goal of any treatment is to prevent loss of vision, as vision loss from glaucoma is irreversible. The good news is that glaucoma can be managed if detected early, and that with medical and/or surgical treatment, most people with glaucoma will not lose their sight.
