[How to prevent and treat glaucoma surgical failures?].
Although many improvements have been made to filtering surgery in glaucoma, some post operative complications do occur quite often. Patients need careful and frequent follow-up to assess and treat the early complications that may occur after glaucoma surgery. Over the medium and long term, insufficient verification of the intra ocular pressure signals the failure of the initial surgery. In this article, we review the diagnostic tools useful for detecting the early and late failures of glaucoma surgery and we provide recommendations for their treatment.
