Trabeculectomy is the most common procedure. A tiny drainage hole is created in the sclera (white of the eye) to allow fluid to drain out, lowering pressure. Minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) with tiny shunts (stents) is also an option for mild cases.
Before Glaucoma Surgery: 1) Complete all required pre-operative tests and evaluations, 2) Inform your doctor about all medications and supplements, 3) Follow fasting instructions (typically no food/drink after midnight before surgery), 4) Arrange for transportation and post-operative care at home, 5) Prepare your home for recovery with necessary supplies.
Vision may be blurry for a few weeks. Anti-inflammatory eye drops are used. Heavy lifting and bending must be avoided for a month.
After Glaucoma Surgery: 1) Take prescribed medications as directed, 2) Keep the surgical site clean and dry, 3) Watch for signs of infection (increased pain, redness, fever, discharge), 4) Follow activity restrictions and gradually increase activity as advised, 5) Attend all follow-up appointments, 6) Contact your doctor immediately if you experience concerning symptoms.
As with any surgical procedure, Glaucoma Surgery carries potential risks including bleeding, infection, adverse reaction to anesthesia, blood clots, and procedure-specific complications. Your surgeon will discuss these risks in detail and take all necessary precautions to minimize them.
Note: All surgical procedures carry some level of risk. Your surgeon will discuss specific risks based on your individual health profile.
