IS SURGERY AN OPTION FOR GLAUCOMA? YES!
Glaucoma is often caused by high pressure in the eye (intraocular pressure).
Hence, intraocular pressure is one factor that can be controlled, so as to slow progression of glaucoma and protect your vision.
This can be achieved with medication, laser treatment, or surgery.
At The Premium Nation’s Eye Hospital, patients whose intraocular pressure does not respond adequately to medication or laser treatment are offered surgery (trabeculectomy) to safely reduce eye pressure and preserve vision.
