title: [Lessons from 10 years of the Advanced Glaucoma Intervention Study (AGIS)].
abstract: The 10-year results of the AGIS have revealed different outcomes of therapeutic strategies depending on ethnic factors, but also different success rates of trabeculectomy depending on age, preoperative intraocular pressure, and presence of diabetes or postoperative complications. Conclusions from the study may be limited by the fact that medical options and surgical strategies in glaucoma treatment have obviously changed during the last decade.
