The surgical treatment of glaucoma has been and is still based on filtering surgeries, commonly used for about half a century. The safety and efficacy of these techniques have been well described, as it has also been done for cyclophotocoagulation and valves or tubes, indicated in France mostly for refractory glaucoma. Minimally invasive glaucoma surgeries have emerged in recent decades, increasing the number of therapeutic options, and allowing treatment decisions to be as patient-centered as possible. Most of these techniques have now been studied for more than five years. Since glaucoma is a chronic, progressive optic neuropathy, the sustainability of each surgery's results is essential. The amount of available data concerning long-term efficacy and safety of glaucoma surgeries is increasing, so we have decided to describe it through this review of the literature.
