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.
