Trends in Glaucoma Fellowship Surgical Experience

The declining exposure to trabeculectomy surgery, both as primary and assistant surgeon raises concerns about glaucoma fellowship graduate proficiency with this fundamental procedure. This may limit access to qualified care for specific glaucoma populations that may benefit most from this intervention, and for the continued care of patients that have previously undergone trabeculectomy surgery. These findings highlight the need to maintain proficiency in trabeculectomy to ensure optimal care for diverse glaucoma patient populations.
