A member asked:
Can you tell me about trabeculectomy for high ocular pressure using local anaesthetic?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Standard procedure: Trabeculectomy is a surgical procedure used to create an alternate drainage for the internal eye fluids when the pressure is too high. It is usually done under local anesthesia, is practically painless, and has a high degree of success. Your surgeon can give you the details of how he does this.
