A member asked:
My mother has severe glaucoma & will have trab procedure. has noticed some vision loss in 1 eye. what is prognosis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: You really should ask the surgeon because it depends on the eye pressure, peripheral vision loss, nerve damage etc. Assuming that medications are not controlling glaucoma, it is reasonable to pursue surgery (like a trab) as the next option.
