Trabeculectomy is a conventional glaucoma surgery used to lower eye pressure by creating a new drainage pathway for fluid inside the eye. This helps reduce pressure and prevent further damage to the optic nerve. It is usually recommended for patients with moderate to advanced glaucoma when medications or laser treatments are not effective. The procedure plays an important role in long-term control of glaucoma.
