Glaucoma surgery should be considered if your [eye_doctor] has tried all other treatments, including prescription eye drops, oral medications and laser therapy, without success.
Many types of glaucoma surgery exist. Ask your eye doctor to assess your condition and help decide which surgery is the best option to reduce your risk of vision loss, including blindness.
Surgery cannot restore vision already lost because of glaucoma, but it can help protect the vision you still have and prevent your glaucoma from worsening.
