Glaucoma Surgery

What is glaucoma surgery?

Glaucoma surgery includes different procedures designed to control pressure inside the eye and reduce the risk of progressive damage to the optic nerve. Surgery may be recommended when eye drops, medications, or laser treatment do not adequately control the condition.

What types of glaucoma surgery are available?

Depending on the type and severity of glaucoma, procedures may include trabeculectomy, glaucoma drainage devices, minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS), and other surgical techniques. The ophthalmologist selects the most appropriate procedure based on eye pressure, optic nerve health, visual field results, and other individual factors.

What specialist performs glaucoma surgery?

Glaucoma surgery is performed by an ophthalmologist specializing in glaucoma. Before recommending surgery, the specialist evaluates intraocular pressure, the optic nerve, visual field, and other aspects of eye health to determine the most appropriate treatment.
