Les nouveaux systèmes de drainage de l'humeur aqueuse

The use of drainage systems in glaucoma treatment progressively increase, mainly in case of failure of medical treatment and/or laser and/or trabeculectomy. They aimed to improve aqueous humor drainage through the trabecular meshwork. New drainage concepts are regularly proposed, either with biomaterial implants, inert or non absorbent, or with approaches to bypass trabecular resistance and facilitate aqueous humor outflow directly in Schlemm canal. The aim of this article is to present and discuss these new approaches.
