Glaucoma Surgery
1. Glaucoma Drops
2. Selective Laser Trabeculoplasty (SLT)
The painless laser treatment known as SLT boosts ocular fluid evacuation, hence reducing pressure. The trabecular meshwork, in charge of eye fluid drainage, is lightly targeted with the laser. Though its benefits may fade over time, usually years, SLT is a safe and efficient substitute for glaucoma drops. If this happens, the SLT laser can be repeated.
3. Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery (MIGS)
MIGS stands for several glaucoma operations carried out in an operating theatre meant to reduce intraocular pressure. Common MIGS procedures include:
- Intent
- Hydrus stent
- Preserflow shunt
4. Trabeculectomy
A trabeculectomy leaves a little “trap door” in the eye wall allowing fluid from inside the eye to progressively drain out, hence lowering pressure.
5. Glaucoma Drainage Devices
Often referred to as glaucoma “tubes,” these devices drain fluid from the eye towards the outside using a tube. Common types of tubes include the Paul tube, Baer veldt tube, and Ahmed tube.
