Question
My grandmother is 51 years old and has glaucoma. She is about to undergo surgery. I am worried about the risks and would like to ask what possible adverse reactions might occur after glaucoma surgery? Are there any complications?
Answer
Glaucoma surgery is performed for specific indications, and if the patient meets the surgical criteria, it can be considered as a treatment option. Although there may be a risk of recurrence, there is no need to worry excessively as it usually does not leave any complications. In cases where medication is ineffective, surgery may be a necessary treatment method. It is recommended that the patient go to the hospital for a detailed examination to determine if surgery is suitable for treatment.
