Question
What are the post-operative situations of glaucoma?
Answer
Regular follow-up after glaucoma surgery is very necessary. The detailed examinations mainly include: vision, routine eye examination, intraocular pressure, the shape and color of the optic nerve, field of vision, and angle of the chamber. Through follow-up, we can understand from the doctor the condition of the surgical channel, intraocular pressure levels, changes in field of vision, and the extent of damage to the optic nerve. The doctor can detect any abnormal changes in the channel early on and take appropriate measures to extend the lifespan of the channel.
