Glaucoma Surgery is a type of eye surgery used to treat glaucoma, a condition that causes damage to the optic nerve. It is typically performed by an ophthalmologist, a medical doctor who specializes in eye care. The goal of the surgery is to reduce the pressure in the eye, which can help prevent further damage to the optic nerve. The most common type of glaucoma surgery is laser trabeculoplasty, which uses a laser to create tiny openings in the eye’s drainage system. Other types of glaucoma surgery include trabeculectomy, which involves creating a new drainage system, and tube shunt surgery, which involves implanting a tiny tube to help drain fluid from the eye.
