Surgery technique Method advantages Our advantages Cost of treatment
Treatment of glaucoma using surgical methods involves the formation of a reliable additional path for the outflow of intraocular moisture, causing the increase of IOP. The decision on necessity of surgical intervention is made by the specialist based on the data of earlier treatment and guided by the results of the survey about the stage of the disease.
The indication for surgical intervention is the continued progression of the disease on the background of ongoing drug or laser treatment, and its combinations.
Sinus trabeculectomy is called international "gold” standard in the treatment of glaucoma. The operation is performed in a hospital, during the month after its completion drug therapy with anti-inflammatory drops is prescribed by the doctor.
Sinus trabeculectomy and laser treatment of glaucoma is performed in several stages, i.e. at once it is possible to perform the necessary manipulations only on one eye. On average, the interval between phases of the operation is about 4-6 weeks.
The efficiency of operation is 60 to 80%, in other cases, due to the result of various causes (for example, excessive scarring of the operating area), there is a need for re-intervention.

The main objective of the surgical intervention is the creation of a new path for the outflow of intraocular moisture under sclera and mucosa from both chambers of the eye. Created there filtration cushion will reduce intraocular pressure to a normal level and stabilize it.
Modern modification of sinus trabeculectomy is considered the operation with the inside implantation of the mini-shunt ExРress. This miniature drainage is implanted in the anterior chamber of the eye under the superficial scleral patch. Due to the unique design of the product, there is a reliable way of intraocular moisture outflow. Such operations are considered more effective and safe.
