Surgery

The Surgery module outlines some of the common surgical options available to treat open angle, angle closure, and childhood glaucomas. Upon finishing this module, clinicians should have a better understanding of when surgery is the most appropriate treatment choice and how to augment surgical procedures with pre- and postoperative care to optimise patient outcomes.

After beginning with an overview of when surgery is the most appropriate treatment for glaucoma and the indications for surgery, this module provides a more detailed look at some commonly performed surgical procedures, including trabeculectomy, bleb revision, and iridectomy. Surgical ‘pearls’ explaining each step of the procedure are included to give clinicians additional guidance on technique.
