Trabeculectomy is a procedure performed to lower the eye pressure in the case of glaucoma to prevent the progression of vision loss. A flap is created in the sclera, which allows fluid to drain, lowering eye pressure. This procedure takes around one hour, and the prognosis is good in about 60 to 80 percent of cases for five years.
