A collection of eye conditions known as glaucoma can result in vision loss and blindness by harming the optic nerve, a nerve located in the back of the eye. Your doctor might advise surgery if glaucoma medications and laser therapy haven't helped to treat your glaucoma. Surgery can help safeguard your vision and prevent it from deteriorating, but it cannot reverse vision loss or treat glaucoma. Congenital, neovascular, and injury-related glaucomas are among the many forms of glaucoma that can be treated with this kind of surgery. It normally takes one to two hours and is performed at a hospital. The surgeon performs this procedure by inserting a tiny tube called a shunt onto the white of your eye. The tube aids in the drainage of excess fluid from your eye, thereby reducing ocular pressure.You will typically be awake during this procedure, but you will also be given numbing and relaxing medication. The majority of the time, you can return home the same day, but you'll need a ride.
