Abstract
THERE HAS BEEN A RAPID ADVENT OF ANGLE BASED AND MINIMALLY INVASIVE PROCEDURES IN GLAUCOMA SURGERY OVER THE LAST 3 YEARS IN INDIA. NUMEROUS GLAUCOMA IMPLANT MANUFACTURERS HAVE OBTAINED REGULATORY APPROVAL TO MARKET THEIR DEVICES IN INDIA. WE NOW HAVE NUMEROUS PROCEDURES WHICH CAN BE TAILORED TO THE PATIENTS’ NEEDS BASED ON THEIR STAGE OF GLAUCOMA AND SYSTEMIC COMORBIDITY. SUCH PROCEDURES INCLUDE NON-PENETRATING DEEP SCLERECTOMY (NPDS), STENTING THE SCHLEMM’S CANAL BY ISTENT INJECT, CANALOPLASTY, GONIOSCOPY ASSISTED TRANSLUMINAL TRABECULOTOMY (GATT) AND TRABECULAR MESHWORK INCISE & REMOVE OF PROCEDURES SUCH AS TANITO’S HOOK AND KAHOOK DUAL BLADE SYSTEM AND VISCOCANALOSTOMY. THIS INSTRUCTION COURSE WILL DISCUSS THE ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF ALL SUCH PROCEDURES AND ENLIGHTEN THE DELEGATES OF THE PEARLS AND PITFALLS OF SUCH ADVANCED GLAUCOMA PROCEDURES.
