Repetitive short-pulse transscleral cyclophotocoagulation for glaucoma (IPG692)
Evidence-based recommendations on short-pulse transscleral cyclophotocoagulation for glaucoma. This involves using repeated short pulses of laser energy to destroy some of the cells in the eye that produce fluid.

Trabeculectomy with a biodegradable collagen matrix implant for glaucoma (IPG750)
Evidence-based recommendations on trabeculectomy with a biodegradable collagen matrix implant for glaucoma. This involves cutting a small flap in the white of the eye and putting a patch over the flap to help healing and prevent scarring. Fluid slowly drains out of the flap and the patch dissolves over time. The aim is to reduce pressure in the eye and slow or stop damage to sight.

Trabecular stent bypass microsurgery for open-angle glaucoma (IPG575)
Evidence-based recommendations on trabecular stent bypass microsurgery for open-angle glaucoma. This involves inserting a hollow metal tube (stent) into the eye, to improve drainage of fluid from the eye.
NICE has developed a Medtech Innovation Briefing (MIB) on the SENSIMED Triggerfish contact lens sensor for continuous 24-hour recording of ocular dimensional
Ab externo canaloplasty for primary open-angle glaucoma (IPG591)
Evidence-based recommendations on ab externo canaloplasty for primary open-angle glaucoma in adults. This involves widening the eye’s main draining canal by inserting a tiny tube, then removing the tube and stitching the canal to keep it open.
Evidence-based recommendations on microinvasive subconjunctival insertion of a trans-scleral gelatin stent for primary open-angle glaucoma in adults. This involves putting a tiny gelatin tube (stent) under the skin at the base of the eye to create a new drainage channel for excess fluid.
