Question
My father is 80 years old, and his eyesight has been poor. The recent examination revealed that he has glaucoma and needs surgical treatment. How long does glaucoma surgery usually take?
Answer
Elderly individuals may experience recurrent glaucoma, and if the intraocular pressure continues to rise, it may trigger glaucoma. In treatment, surgery can be considered, and some low-concentration eye drops can be used to reduce the intraocular pressure. Glaucoma surgery usually takes about an hour.
