Glaucoma is one of the most common causes of blindness worldwide, and its prevalence is increasing. The aim of the present review is to describe the current medical and surgical treatment trends in the management of open-angle glaucoma. There has been an increase in the availability of glaucoma medications and the use of laser trabeculoplasty over the past decade, with a subsequent decrease in invasive incisional surgery. In addition, a new class of glaucoma procedures, termed microinvasive glaucoma surgery, has emerged, which aims to fill the gap between conservative medical management and more invasive surgery.
青光眼是全球最常见的致盲原因之一，且其患病率正在上升。本综述的目的是描述开角型青光眼治疗中当前的药物和手术治疗趋势。在过去十年中，青光眼药物的可获得性有所增加，激光小梁成形术的使用也有所增加，随后侵入性切开手术的使用减少。此外，一类新的青光眼手术——微创青光眼手术已经出现，其目的是填补保守药物治疗和更具侵入性手术之间的空白。
