Glaucoma surgery

What Is Glaucoma surgery?

Glaucoma is pressure inside your eye, like a basketball being overinflated. Fluid in your eye can’t drain out the way it should. This can damage the optic nerve inside your eye and harm your vision

When Can Surgery Help?

Your eye doctor will give you prescription eye drops or oral medicine to lower the pressure in your eye. If drugs don’t work, surgery is the next step.

If the medicine causes severe side effects like high blood pressure, rapid heartbeat, or impotence, you may want to try surgery instead. Some people need it right away if their eye pressure is high and puts their vision at risk.

What Are the Kinds of Surgery?

Doctors may try laser surgery first. You can get the treatments in your doctor’s office or at a clinic. You’ll be able to go home after the procedure and get back to your normal routine by the next day.

The laser is a beam of intense light. It’s aimed at your eye to help open clogged tubes and drain fluid. It can take a few weeks to see the full results.

After Laser Surgery

Your eyesight may be a little blurry right after the treatment. It may feel a little sore, too. In a couple of hours, the doctor will check your eye pressure. You’ll need someone to drive you home after the surgery.

You may need to stay on your medications after laser surgery to keep your eye pressure under control.

What Can You Expect?

You’ll get drugs to numb your eye and relax you. You shouldn’t feel any pain. You may feel really drowsy during the operation.

After surgery, you’ll rest at home for about a week. Don’t drive, read, bend over, or lift anything heavy for up to 4 weeks. Keep water out of your eye. Your eye may be red, sore, or watery. You may also see a little bump where the cut was made.

Your vision might be a little blurry for about 6 weeks. Contact lenses may not fit until the bump or swelling goes down. About half of people who get this surgery no longer need medications to keep pressure down.

Are There Risks?
  • Glaucoma surgery can make you more likely to get cataracts later. Other possible risks include:

    Eye pain or redness
    Eye pressure that’s still too high or even too low
    Loss of vision
    Infection
    Inflammation
    Bleeding in your eye
    Glaucoma surgery can’t restore eyesight you’ve lost already. You may need to take drugs or have more surgery down the road if pressure builds up again. Get regular eye exams to make sure you’re OK.
