Glaucoma
In some cases, your surgeon may feel that an artificial
valve implanted onto the wall of your eye might
provide the best control of your glaucoma. A valve
can be attached to the wall of the eye and a tube
goes through the wall into the eye. When the pressure
in the eye reaches a certain level, the valve
opens and fluid is allowed to drain through the
tube into the device attached onto the wall of
the eye. Once the pressure reaches an acceptable
level, the valve closes and fluid is no longer
drained from the eye. Sugarland Eye & Laser Center
is excited to offer this surgical option to patients
with difficult to control glaucoma. |
