Abstract

The present review describes simple economical procedures that were introduced to the literature by the author to facilitate Non-penetrating Deep Sclerectomy and enhance the efficacy in lowering the intraocular pressure in glaucoma patients.

Keywords: Non-penetrating Deep Sclerectomy (NPDS); Intraocular Pressure (IOP); Schlemm's Canal
