Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma

The most common form, where the drainage angle formed by the cornea and iris remains open, but the eye’s drainage canals become clogged over time. This leads to gradual pressure buildup.

Angle-Closure Glaucoma

This occurs when the drainage angle closes or becomes blocked suddenly, leading to a rapid rise in eye pressure. It is considered a medical emergency that requires immediate attention.

Normal-Tension Glaucoma

Even when eye pressure remains within a normal range, damage to the optic nerve can still occur, leading to vision loss.

Congenital Glaucoma

A rare form that occurs in babies and young children due to improper development of the eye’s drainage system.

Recognizing the Symptoms of Glaucoma

In the early stages, glaucoma may not present noticeable symptoms. However, as the condition progresses, the following symptoms may occur

How It Works

The implant creates a new drainage pathway, allowing excess fluid to bypass the blocked drainage system and lower eye pressure. This can help prevent further optic nerve damage and slow the progression of glaucoma.

Types of Glaucoma Surgery We Offer​

Trabeculectomy

A surgical procedure that creates a small opening in the sclera (the white part of the eye) to allow fluid to drain from the eye, reducing pressure.

Laser Trabeculoplasty

A minimally invasive laser treatment that helps improve the drainage of fluid through the eye’s natural drainage system.

Rectangle 8

Glaucoma Drainage Implants (Shunts)

For advanced cases, a drainage implant can be placed in the eye to create a new pathway for fluid to escape, reducing intraocular pressure.

Rectangle 8

Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery (MIGS)

MIGS procedures are less invasive, offering quicker recovery times and fewer complications. These techniques include the use of microscopic stents and shunts to improve fluid outflow.

Frequently Asked Questions About Glaucoma Surgery

Is glaucoma surgery painful?

Glaucoma surgery is generally not painful. Local anesthesia is used to numb the eye during the procedure, and patients typically experience minimal discomfort afterward.

Common symptoms of cataracts include blurred vision, difficulty seeing at night, sensitivity to light, seeing ‘halos’ around lights, and colors appearing faded. If you experience any of these symptoms, it may be time to consult with Dr. Javaheri.
