What is it about?
Glaucoma is a chronic, progressive disease of the optic nerve that can cause vision loss and blindness. High-frequency deep sclerotomy (HFDS) is a novel ab interno procedure used to lower intraocular pressure (IOP).

Why is it important?
During the recent years, glaucoma surgery has been evolving toward minimally invasive surgical techniques that are supposed to be more safe, efficient, and predictable than their predecessors. These minimally invasive glaucoma surgeries (MIGS), which include limited manipulation of conjunctival and scleral tissue, have had favorable outcomes in lowering IOP. One of these relatively novel MIGS techniques for decreasing IOP is high-frequency deep sclerotomy (HFDS).
Perspectives
Writing this article was a great pleasure as it has co-authors with whom I have had long standing collaborations. This new technique will be more effective in future
