Case description

World-famous glaucoma specialist Dr Iqbal  Ike; Ahmed shares with extremely excellent lecture on cutting edge glaucoma technology. Dr Ahmed rates surgical trabeculectomy and then procedes to be potentional candidate to replace trabeculectomy. Dr Ahmed shows plasma ablation with the Fugo Plasma Blade to remove sclera, until as only very thin layer of sclera remains. This slighted sclera is thin enough to allow eye aqueous humor to drain through this thin sclera window and then filter into the subconjunctival space. Dr Ahmed elucides that this removing of sclera with plasma makes non-penetrating surgery enough such that most surgeons are able to perform this until now very difficult operation.
