The binary or-logic combination of minimum GCIPL and average RNFL or rim area provides better diagnostic performances than those of and-logic combinations or best single GCIPL, RNFL, or ONH parameters. This finding may be clinically valuable for the diagnosis of early glaucoma.

These data support the hypothesis that CTGF plays an important role in scarring and wound contracture after GFS. Inhibition of CTGF synthesis or its action may help prevent bleb failure and improve long-term GFS outcomes.

Canal surgery has proven to be an alternative to traditional glaucoma surgery, lowering IOP relatively well. Surgeons must be comfortable with the anatomy and proceed with the procedure in eyes that are amenable to various new surgical advances.
