Bron AJournal Français d'Ophtalmologie 2001; 24: 1110-1113
Although many improvements have been made to filtering surgery in glaucoma, some postoperative 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 intraocular pressure signals the failure of the initial surgery. In this article, review the diagnostic tools useful for detecting the early and late failures of glaucoma surgery are reviewed, and recommendations provided for their treatment. LA: French
