Filtration has traditionally been the first choice because of its efficiency and predictability, whereas cyclodestruction has been reserved for more refractory cases which have little or no visual potential. Recently, development of endoscopic surgery caused to use less energy while achieving more efficacy and less collateral damage and is seeking more widespread indications in glaucoma surgery.
