Trabeculectomy is a surgical procedure to treat open-angle glaucoma by creating a new channel for the aqueous fluid to drain out of the eye, reducing intraocular pressure. It involves removing a small piece of the eye's outer coating and forming a pocket between the sclera and the conjunctiva, where a sponge is placed to absorb excess fluid.
