Ophthalmology and Vision Science

Every glaucoma surgery procedure, whether utilizing laser technology or not, aims to achieve one of two primary outcomes: reducing the production of intraocular fluid (aqueous humor) or increasing its outflow/drainage. Typically, surgery is not the initial approach for treating glaucoma, but it can be crucial in preserving eyesight when other treatments prove ineffective. Surgical interventions may involve laser treatments or incisions in the eye to alleviate intraocular pressure.
