Glaucoma Surgery

Glaucoma surgery is performed to lower intraocular pressure (IOP) and prevent further damage to the optic nerve caused by glaucoma. It helps preserve remaining vision when medications or laser treatments are no longer effective.

Overview

Glaucoma surgery includes advanced procedures designed to improve the drainage of fluid from the eye or reduce fluid production, thereby lowering eye pressure. Depending on the severity and type of glaucoma, your ophthalmologist may recommend procedures such as trabeculectomy, glaucoma drainage device (tube shunt) implantation, or Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery (MIGS). The goal of surgery is to slow or stop vision loss, as damage from glaucoma cannot be reversed.

Procedures Offered

Comprehensive Eye Examination – Assessment of eye pressure, optic nerve, and visual field.
Preoperative Evaluation – Medical history review and surgical planning.
Surgical Procedure – Trabeculectomy, tube shunt implantation, or MIGS performed under local or general anesthesia.
Recovery & Monitoring – Regular follow-up visits to monitor healing and eye pressure.
Long-Term Care – Ongoing monitoring to maintain optimal eye health and vision.
