What is Glaucoma Surgery?

Glaucoma Surgery or Trabeculectomy is a surgical outpatient procedure used primarily in the treatment of different types of glaucoma. An opening is created inside the eye’s trabecular meshwork to relieve intraocular pressure and drain fluid (aqueous humor). The eye surgeon may use topical analgesia with mild sedation depending on the ability of the patient to cooperate during the procedure.

Eye conditions that may benefit from Trabeculectomy:

• Open-Angle Glaucoma [Primary] (increase in intraocular pressure in the eye; most common)

• Primary angle-closure glaucoma not responsive to iridoplasty or iridotomy

• Secondary open-angle glaucoma

• Secondary angle-closure glaucoma

• Chronic Closed-Angle Glaucoma (iris or colored part of the eye and the lens blocks the movement of the fluid between the eye’s chambers)

• Childhood glaucomas

• When laser treatment or medicine have failed to decrease the eye pressure to prevent eyesight damage.

Some eye centres in other destinations offer eye packages that include hotel accommodations, airport pickup and drop-off, diagnostics and laboratory work-up, take home meds, aside from the procedure fee and hospital expenses.  The glaucoma surgery package at Istituto Auxologico Italiano   costs only $5,875 USD for 1 day hospitalization.
