Glaucoma usually occurs when intraocular pressure increases. This happens when the fluid pressure in the eye's anterior chamber, the area between the cornea and the iris, rises. Normally, this fluid, called aqueous humor, flows out of the eye through a mesh-like channel. If this channel becomes blocked, fluid builds up, causing glaucoma.

WHAT TO EXPECT WITH GLAUCOMA SURGERY. Trabeculectomy, or “filtering surgery”, is the most common type of glaucoma surgery. It is usually recommended when the eye pressure cannot be lowered enough with medical and\or laser treatments. A new drain for the fluid is created within the wall of the eye.

You have glaucoma. Glaucoma is a disease defined by optic nerve damage. The optic nerve connects the eye to the brain. Fluid imbalance or pressure problems in the eye damage the nerve. Glaucoma slowly gets worse over time and cannot be reversed. If it is not treated, it causes a painless loss of eyesight. In some cases, it can lead to blindness.

Symptoms include unusually large eyes, excessive ...

approach. These techniques work by lowering eye pressure to reduce the amount of fluid in the eye, and by increasing fluid outflow from the eye. Beyond drugs and surgery, several recent studies suggest that lifestyle choices may also help minimize the risk of losing vision to glaucoma.

This type of Glaucoma is most common and occurs when pressure in the eye builds to abnormal levels. This pressure, also referred to as intraocular pressure, may rise when the drainage system in the eye is clogged, which causes an excess of fluid in the eye. High intraocular pressure can potentially lead to permanent vision loss.
