What is glucoma?
Glaucoma is a group of diseases of the optic nerve involving loss of retinal ganglion cells in a characteristic pattern of optic neuropathy. Although raised intraocular pressure is a significant risk factor for developing glaucoma, there is no set threshold for intraocular pressure that causes glaucoma. One person may develop nerve damage at a relatively low pressure, while another person may have high eye pressures for years and yet never develop damage. Untreated glaucoma leads to permanent damage of the optic nerve and resultant visual field loss, which can progress to blindness.
What to Expect Following Glaucoma Surgery?
Glaucoma is a progressive eye disease that can lead to irreversible vision loss if left untreated. Surgery may be recommended when medications and other conservative treatments are no longer effective in managing glaucoma. Glaucoma surgery aims to reduce intraocular pressure (IOP) and preserve vision by improving the drainage of aqueous humor from the eye. Understanding what to expect during recovery is crucial for a successful outcome if you or a loved one is scheduled for glaucoma surgery. This comprehensive guide will explore the various types of glaucoma surgery, post-operative care, and what to expect following glaucoma surgery.
