Abstract
The intraocular pressure variations after the water-drinking test are similar in non-glaucomatous individuals and in patients submitted to a penetrating filtering surgery, (trabeculectomy) or a non penetrating technique (deep sclerectomy). The water-drinking test demonstrated that these two filtering procedures are safe and efficient in avoiding intraocular pressure peaks and large fluctuations in glaucomatous patients.
