Description:
Glaucoma surgeries all seek to either decrease production of intraocular fluid or increase drainage of the fluid to prevent damage to the optic nerve. Glaucoma surgery may be an option if glaucoma eye drops or other medications are not effective in treating your glaucoma. There are several different glaucoma surgeries, one of which might be appropriate for you.
