Glaucoma surgery is often necessary to preserve vision when other treatments fail. At The Eye Center Karachi, our specialists provide various surgical options to help control intraocular pressure and prevent vision loss. Here, we outline the key benefits and risks to help our patients make informed decisions.
Risks of Glaucoma Surgery
Surgery effectively lowers intra-ocular pressure (IOP), preventing optic nerve damage and slowing disease progression.
Reduced Need for Medications: Surgery can reduce the reliance on daily eye drops, improving patients’ quality of life.
Vision Preservation: In advanced cases, surgery may be the only way to preserve remaining vision.
Advanced Care: We offer state-of-the-art procedures like MIGS and drainage devices for optimal outcomes.
Benefits of Glaucoma Surgery Effective Pressure Reduction:
Infection and Inflammation: There is a risk of post-surgery infection or inflammation. At Eye Clinic Karachi, we ensure our specialists follow strict sterile protocols and provide antibiotics to manage any risk of infection effectively
Bleeding and Scarring: Some procedures carry a risk of bleeding or scar tissue formation, which can reduce effectiveness over time. Our experts are highly trained and qualified, ensuring these risks are minimized with precise surgical techniques and careful post-operative monitoring.
Vision Changes: Temporary or permanent changes in vision, such as blurriness or light sensitivity, can occur. Our specialists take every precaution to minimize vision changes and provide comprehensive follow-up care to address any complications quickly.
Possible Additional Procedures: Further surgery may be required if pressure is not adequately controlled. At The Eye Center Karachi, our specialists use advanced surgical techniques to achieve optimal outcomes, reducing the likelihood of needing additional procedures. However, if needed, we are fully equipped to provide further care.
Low Eye Pressure (Hypotony): Over-reduction of IOP can cause complications like blurry vision. We carefully monitor patients’ eye pressure throughout the recovery process to ensure that it remains within a safe range, adjusting treatment as necessary.
