- What is the experience of the surgeon performing the procedure?
- How long will the surgery take and what is the recovery time?
- Will I need to stay overnight in the hospital or can I go home the same day?
- Does the operating room where I will undergo surgery have state of the art equipment?
- What type of follow-up care will I need after the surgery?
- Will the surgery cure my glaucoma or just help manage it?
- Will I still need to take medication after the surgery?
- When can I return to my normal activities, including driving and working?
