What is Glaucoma Surgery?
Glaucoma surgery lowers the pressure inside the eye when drops or laser treatment are not enough, to protect the optic nerve and prevent further loss of vision.
Glaucoma Surgery cost
The price depends on the hospital, the surgeon's experience, the anaesthesia used, the length of the hospital stay and the tests needed before surgery. Each doctor below shows a starting price; the final price is confirmed after the consultation.
Benefits
- Lower and more stable eye pressure
- Helps protect remaining vision
- Fewer eye drops for many patients
Possible side effects
- Temporary blurred vision
- Redness and discomfort
- Pressure that is too low or too high
- Rarely infection
Most side effects are mild and temporary. Your surgeon will explain the risks for your case.
Types of glaucoma surgery
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Trabeculectomy | A small drainage channel is created |
| Drainage implant | A tiny tube drains fluid from the eye |
| Laser procedures | Laser opens the natural drainage |
How it is done
- Assessment: Eye pressure and the optic nerve are checked
- Anaesthesia: The eye is numbed
- Surgery: A new drainage route is made
- Follow-up: Several visits check the pressure
Results and recovery
Lost vision cannot be restored, but lowering the pressure helps keep the sight you have.
