TL;DR: Level I evidence indicates that there are no advantages to the adjunctive use of antifibrotic agents or systemic corticosteroids with currently available shunts, and aqueous shunts seem to have benefits comparable with those of trabeculectomy in the management of complex glaucoma.

TL;DR: A review of the published literature and summarize clinically relevant information about novel, or emerging, surgical techniques for the treatment of open-angle glaucoma and to describe the devices and procedures in proper context of the appropriate patient population, theoretic effects, advantages, and disadvantages is presented in this paper.

TL;DR: The ONH and RNFL imaging instruments reviewed in this assessment were determined to be highly effective in distinguishing eyes with glaucomatous visual field (VF) loss from normal eyes without VF loss, based on level II evidence.

TL;DR: One hundred twenty-seven trabeculectomies performed on aphakic eyes at the Bascom Palmer Eye Institute between 1972 and 1982 were reviewed and 42 were categorized as complete failures.
