Filtering Surgery
Filtering Surgery is a surgical procedure used to treat glaucoma, a condition in which pressure builds up in the eye and can potentially cause blindness. It involves making a tiny incision in the eye and placing a tiny mesh tube (or “filter”) into the eye to help reduce the pressure and improve the circulation of fluids within the eye. The tube allows fluid to drain out of the eye, relieving pressure. By reducing the pressure inside the eye, Filtering Surgery helps to prevent or slow down vision loss. Additionally, it can help to improve the eye's overall health, allowing the patient to enjoy better vision and greater comfort. Although Filtering Surgery is an effective glaucoma treatment, it is still important for patients to monitor their eye pressure and use approved glaucoma medications before and after the surgery.
