A member asked:
Please help! what is the risk associated with eye filtration surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Minimal: This question should be addressed to the eye surgeon who is proposing the surgery to you. Eye filtration surgery is safe and effective surgery to drastically lower the pressure in the eyes. It is typically used for people who have advanced glaucoma that cannot be controlled medically.
