Glaucoma Surgery

Glaucoma surgery is a treatment aimed at reducing high eye pressure to prevent damage to the optic nerve and preserve vision. It is recommended for patients whose glaucoma cannot be controlled effectively with medications or laser treatments. Timely surgery can slow or stop the progression of glaucoma and help maintain long-term eye health.

Symptoms Indicating the Need for Surgery

Glaucoma often develops without early symptoms, but some patients may notice gradual loss of side vision, blurred vision, eye discomfort, headaches, or seeing halos around lights. Advanced glaucoma can cause permanent vision loss if left untreated, making early diagnosis and surgical intervention important.

Types of Glaucoma Surgery

There are different surgical options depending on the severity and type of glaucoma. Traditional procedures like trabeculectomy create a new drainage pathway for eye fluid, while newer techniques focus on minimally invasive approaches to lower eye pressure with faster recovery. The choice of surgery is determined after a thorough evaluation of the patient’s eye condition.

Treatment and Surgical Process

Glaucoma surgery is performed under local or general anesthesia, depending on the procedure and patient needs. The surgeon creates a controlled pathway for fluid to exit the eye, reducing intraocular pressure. Post-surgery, patients are monitored closely with follow-up visits to ensure proper healing and effective pressure control. Most patients experience gradual improvement and can resume daily activities after a short recovery period.
