Abstract

Purpose of review To review the various surgical options in the management of medically refractory glaucoma in uveitic eyes. Recent findings Uveitic glaucoma is particularly challenging to manage. We look at the evidence for various surgical options, or the lack of, in the surgical management of medically refractory glaucoma in uveitis. Summary Conventional glaucoma filtration surgeries such as trabeculectomy and glaucoma drainage implants were more commonly described first line surgical options in the therapy of medically refractory uveitic glaucoma. However, with the introduction of newer implants and options of minimally invasive glaucoma surgeries, the choice of first line surgeries may now be possibly expanded to include other options. More research is required to evaluate the efficacy of the newer surgical options in the management of glaucoma in uveitis patients.
