In newly diagnosed glaucoma, the majority of doctors prefer the use of medication to keep the intraocular pressure under control. If drug therapy is not appropriate or insufficient, the option of glaucoma surgery may be considered.
In laser trabeculoplasty (SLT or ALT), the draining channels inside the eye are tightened using a high-energy light beam. Thus, the fluid flow from the eye is facilitated, and the intraocular pressure is reduced. In angle-closure glaucoma, a hole is created in the iris (iridotomy) using a laser, enabling the flow of aqueous fluid into the drainage system. Glaucoma filtration surgery (trabeculotomy) aims to create a new opening so that the fluid can leave the eye. Surgeon: It removes some tissue from the sclera, the white part of the eye, and creates a new channel for fluid drainage.
Although serious complications after glaucoma are very rare, such events can occur after any surgery. Operation: The ophthalmologist should consider this procedure safer than continuing to damage the optic nerve.
