Cómo dijo el Dr. se deben considerar los beneficios y los riesgos de esta cirugía hay otras opciones de cirugía menos invasivas como el baypas o implante exprés y otras que son la primera opción en el tratamiento quirúrgico del glaucoma la trabeculectomia o trabeculoplastia lasser. Pero sin duda la colocación de la válvula de Ahmed es la más invasiva.
In the last couple weeks I had the laser treatment on both eyes to reduce the pressure in my eyes. I'm saying a prayer to God that this works. Hopefully some of the other procedures like this one just shown will work for other people just as well!
I never had glaucoma surgery on my eyes because my eye drops have been working with lowering my pressure however I almost had to have laser surgery because the pressure in my left eye five years ago was High and my glaucoma doctor wanted it in the teens
Just had this done to my right eye and in the second week of recovery, still quite sore but the pressure has come down from 34 to 14 in the first week hope that it stay in the teen range. My left eye has a bleb in it to keep the pressure down but sometimes the pressure is low cause my vision to be blurry until the pressure increases to 7or above. This surgery was due to my being allergic to the majority of pressure lowering drugs and also the laser cause the pressure to rise right after being use with no lowering drops to use in my case. Will let you know how my recovery goes in the next few weeks, oh yes do have double vision when I first wake up in the morning but tends to go away as I focus my sight.
Dr why block drain system after surgery during 5 month I have five time needling procedure please would you like explain I am worried about this situation
For baerveldt Glaucoma Implant, the external diameter of the tube is 0.63mm while in internal diameter is 0.30mm (see www.vision.abbott/content/dam/bss/divisionalsites/amo/DFUs/other/Baerveldt_packageinsert.pdf if you want to play with one 8-) )
I'm going with Canaloplasty and never a Trabeculectomy. Trabeculectomy is nothing but problems and problems that can arise even years later from it. No good, Charlie!
