Long-term outcomes of trabeculectomy versus canaloplasty in open-angle glaucoma – an 11-year follow-up of the TVC study cohort
After 11 years, trabeculectomy still demonstrated greater IOP reduction and higher complete success rates but was associated with a higher complication rate. In contrast, canaloplasty offers a safe alternative when slightly higher IOPs and moderate medication use are acceptable.
