The drainage angle in the anterior chamber of the eye mediates the outflow of aqueous humor, and pathological changes here can lead to high intraocular pressure and glaucoma. Minimally invasive glaucoma surgery, particularly angle surgery, has advanced recently, allowing clear visualization of angle structures like the trabecular meshwork and Schlemm's canal using surgical goniolens. Techniques for angle intervention include widening the angle, reopening closed angles, and rebuilding outflow pathways using methods such as laser peripheral iridotomy, Argon laser peripheral iridoplasty, and mechanical separation of adhered tissues. Our research team plans to conduct imaging studies to track the healing of angle tissues post-surgery, aiming to support innovation and standardization of minimally invasive angle surgery.
