Glaucoma Surgery

Glaucoma surgery is a medical procedure aims to lower intraocular pressure, safeguarding the optic nerve from glaucoma damage. It establishes new drainage routes for aqueous humor or enhances existing ones. When medications or laser therapy prove insufficient, surgeries like trabeculectomy, tube shunt implantation, or MIGS are considered. The choice depends on glaucoma severity and overall eye health. These surgeries help preserve vision and slow disease progression.
