Glaucoma Surgery

Glaucoma surgery aims to lower intraocular pressure to prevent vision loss. Procedures like trabeculectomy create a drainage channel to reduce pressure. Minimally invasive options like trabecular stents are gaining popularity. Laser surgeries, such as SLT, help improve drainage. Surgery is considered when medication or laser treatments aren't effective. Regular follow-ups are essential to monitor pressure and ensure treatment success. Surgeon's expertise influences surgical approach and outcomes. Glaucoma surgery can help preserve vision and slow disease progression. Individual suitability for surgery is determined through comprehensive evaluation. Advancements continue to refine glaucoma surgical techniques.
