Trabeculectomy
Trabeculoplasty is a surgical treatment option for glaucoma that aims to reduce eye pressure. It may be performed on its own or in combination with medication in the form of eye drops to help lower eye pressure.
There are different types of trabeculoplasty surgery.
- Traditional trabeculoplasty
- Argon laser trabeculoplasty
- Micropulse diode laser trabeculoplasty (MDLT)
- Selective laser trabeculoplasty
Trabeculoplasty is a common choice for treating glaucoma, with a success rate of around 80% among those who undergo the procedure. It typically results in a reduction of eye pressure by 20-30% and the effects of the surgery tend to last for 3-5 years. If the benefits of the surgery begin to diminish, selective laser trabeculoplasty can be repeated. This type of surgery is often the first option considered for individuals with glaucoma, before exploring other surgical options.
The following basic steps are typically followed:
- The eye is numbed with eye drops.
- A lens and special microscope are used to guide the laser.
- Small burns are made into the eye’s trabecular meshwork.
- The doctor inputs eye drops to prevent an immediate rise in eye pressure.
