The clinic features highly qualified medical specialists using the latest medical equipment and methods with the goal of providing the best outcomes. The center also provides one day surgeries.

Glaucoma is manifested by an increased intraocular pressure and the damaging of the optic nerve. After an examination, the ophthalmologist will decide how the intraocular pressure will be reduced, depending on each medical case.

The glaucoma surgery reduces the intraocular pressure by opening the blocked drainage angles, or by creating new openings through which the fluid can be removed out the eye. In some cases, the surgery may be done to relieve the pain caused by glaucoma.

The two main techniques for the glaucoma treatment are:

• The trabeculectomy, a surgical procedure made under local anaesthesia, painless and fast, carried out with laser instrumentation. This technique reduces the intraocular pressure caused by glaucoma and it's recommended for the open-angle glaucoma, closed angle glaucoma, post-uveitic glaucoma, post-traumatic glaucoma and juvenile glaucoma.
• The implantation of the dispositive Ex Press, a technique that represents a valid alternative to the trabeculectomy for various kind of glaucoma (except for the closed angle one). The intervention consists in the insertion of a small device (3mm of length) which allows the passage of aqueous humour, reducing the intraocular pressure.

What is the cost of the glaucoma surgery?

At Villa Donatello (Florence, Italy), both procedures (the trabeculectomy and the implantation of the dispositive Ex Press) are performed as one-day surgeries, including a daytime stay in a first class single room and the preoperative examinations.

The cost for performing the glaucoma surgery in the clinic is about $4,775 - $6,900, depending on the technique, the device's materials and the specific case history.

Benefits of the glaucoma surgery:

• Reduces the intraocular pressure.
• Relieves the pain that can be caused by glaucoma.
