Abstract

Background: Refractory glaucoma represents one of the most challenging conditions in ophthalmology because of itsprogressive nature, resistance to conventional medical therapy, and high risk of irreversible visual loss. These glaucomasare frequently associated with severe ocular inflammation, neovascularization, conjunctival scarring, and previous failed filtration surgeries, all of which significantly reduce the success of traditional surgical approaches.
