  • What surgery can treat glaucoma?

    Several surgical and laser options exist for treating glaucoma, all with the goal of lowering your eye pressure. An in-office laser treatment, called laser trabeculoplasty, can be effective in mild to moderate glaucoma. Glaucoma surgery in an operating room includes angle procedures to increase drainage of eye fluid through the normal drainage channels, filtering procedures and glaucoma tube implants to create a new drainage channel, and other laser procedures to decrease the flow of fluid into the eye. It is important to discuss your options with your ophthalmologist who can tailor your treatment to what best suits your situation. READ MORE
