Question
Lately, when I go to bed in the morning, I find it hard to see things clearly with my eyes. After staring at them for a while, they get sore and tired. Moreover, when I look up at the sun, it appears rainbow-colored. After a thorough check-up at the hospital, the doctor said I have glaucoma and both eyes need surgery. How long does glaucoma surgery take?
Answer
The duration of glaucoma surgery is usually about 20 minutes to half an hour, varying depending on the individual’s condition and the complexity of the surgery. It is generally recommended to visit a local large-grade three hospital’s ophthalmology department for a follow-up examination and receive treatment according to the doctor’s diagnosis. After the surgery, it is important to take routine anti-inflammatory and nursing measures, ensure adequate rest, and maintain a light diet.
