Abstract
Medicare recipients with glaucoma are more likely to be treated with aqueous shunting procedures or cyclophotocoagulation and less likely to be treated with trabeculectomy, compared with past years. After a decline in use between 1995 and 2001, laser trabeculoplasty increased substantially from 2001 to 2004. Fistulization procedures other than trabeculectomy and surgical iridectomy have become very uncommon.
