A member asked:
What to do if i have been diagnosed with glaucoma, are there any surgeries that can correct this.?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
"cure": Filtering surgical procedures to control eye pressure can control "cure" glaucoma. These type of procedures are done only after medicine or laser treatments are unsuccessful, due to their inherent risks. Technical answer is yes, practical answer -- no.
