Trabectome Surgery

Trabectome surgery is a minimally-invasive procedure designed to reduce pressure in the eye caused by glaucoma. It is a safe, effective and long-lasting treatment for glaucoma, a condition characterized by increased pressure in the eye that can lead to irreversible vision loss. The procedure utilizes a small device called a trabectome which works by cutting, coagulating and aspirating tissue in and around the trabecular meshwork, the area where fluid drains from the eye. The surgery reduces pressure in the eye and can be used in addition to or instead of traditional glaucoma treatments, such as eye drops, laser procedures and drainage implants. After the procedure, it is normal to experience some mild side effects, such as discomfort in the eye, redness and pain, but these typically resolve within a few days. Trabectome surgery has revolutionized glaucoma treatment and has improved the vision of countless patients around the world.
