title: Ab interno approach to the suprachoroidal space.
abstract: Although glaucoma filtration surgery options are generally effective means of surgically lowering intraocular pressure (IOP), complications have driven innovators to develop novel approaches to the lowering of IOP. Using the suprachoroidal space has been one novel way to avoid these complications. This article reviews how recent innovation has exploited this space to lower IOP.
