Question
What causes tear production after acute glaucoma surgery?
Answer
Actually, the presence of tears after glaucoma surgery is not a major issue; the key is the post-operative eye pressure situation. If the eye pressure is normal and there is a tear production, it could be due to photophobia, or possibly an inflammatory response. It’s advisable to visit an ophthalmologist for a check-up to determine the cause. Once a clear diagnosis is made, treatment will follow suit.
