Glaucoma surgery is often essential to preserve vision when other treatments are insufficient. At The Eye Center Karachi, our specialists offer advanced surgical options to control intraocular pressure and prevent vision loss. Here’s an overview of the benefits and risks to help you make an informed decision.
Benefits of Glaucoma Surgery
Surgery effectively reduces intraocular pressure (IOP), slowing disease progression and preserving vision, especially in advanced cases. It can also reduce the reliance on daily medications, improving quality of life. At The Eye Center Karachi, we provide state-of-the-art procedures, including MIGS and drainage devices, for optimal outcomes.
Risks of Glaucoma Surgery
While effective, surgery carries some risks, such as infection, inflammation, bleeding, or scarring, which can impact results. Temporary or permanent vision changes, such as blurriness, are also possible. In rare cases, additional procedures may be required, and over-reduction of IOP (hypotony) can lead to complications. Our specialists minimize these risks with precise techniques, strict sterile protocols, and comprehensive follow-up care.
Personalized and Advanced Care
The decision to undergo glaucoma surgery is tailored to each patient. Our team ensures you understand the potential risks and benefits, offering personalized guidance and advanced surgical techniques to preserve your vision.
