“How long is laser surgery for glaucoma?”

The laser surgery really depends upon the type of glaucoma you have. If you have narrow angle glaucoma and the surgeon is performing an iridotomy, this usually takes just a few minutes. If you are having a trabeculectomy in order to open up the trabecular meshwork, this can take at least an hour. Please discuss all pre-operative and post-operative questions that you may have with your eye doctor in order to be fully prepared. Good luck and best wishes.
