Introduction
Introduction
Glaucoma laser surgery is an advanced treatment 
option designed to lower intraocular pressure (IOP) 
and prevent further damage to the optic nerve, 
which is vital for maintaining vision. As glaucoma 
progresses, elevated eye pressure can lead to 
irreversible vision loss, making timely treatment 
essential. Laser surgery offers a minimally 
invasive, effective solution that can help patients 
manage their glaucoma and protect their eyesight. 
In this presentation , we'll explore how glaucoma 
laser surgery works, its benefits, and what to 
expect during.

Common Types of 
Glaucoma
Common Types of 
Glaucoma
 Open-Angle Glaucoma: 
   The most common type, where the drainage angle in    
    the eye remains open, but fluid builds up due to slow
    drainage, increasing IOP.
 Angle-Closure Glaucoma: 
   A more acute form, where the drainage angle becomes 
 
   completely blocked, causing a rapid increase in eye
   pressure.

Surgery
Preparation for Glaucoma Laser 
Surgery
 Eye drops: 
   Patients may be instructed to use specific eye drops
   before the procedure to prepare the eye.
 Avoid contact lenses: 
   If you wear contact lenses, you will likely need to switch
   to glasses for a few days leading up to the surgery.
 Medications: 
   Discuss any medications you’re currently taking with
    your doctor to avoid complications.

The Glaucoma Laser 
Surgery Procedure
The Glaucoma Laser Surgery 
Proc Aendesuthreetic drops: 
   Numbing drops are applied to the eye to ensure the
    patient feels no discomfort during the procedure.
 Laser application: 
    A special lens is placed on the eye, and the laser is  
    directed at the targeted area (trabecular meshwork,
    iris, or ciliary body, depending on the type of  
surgery).
 Post-procedure care: 
   After the surgery, the patient may experience some 
mild 
   discomfort, but most people can resume their normal
   activities the next day.

Risks and 
Complications 
Risks and Complications 
 Increased IOP: 
    In rare cases, eye pressure may temporarily increase
    after surgery.
  Inflammation: 
    Some patients experience mild inflammation, which 
can
     be treated with medicated eye drops.
  Vision disturbances: 
    Temporary vision disturbances, such as halos or blurred
     vision, may occur but usually resolve within a few days.

Conclusion
Conclusion
Glaucoma laser surgery has revolutionized the 
way we manage glaucoma, providing patients 
with a less invasive, effective option to control 
intraocular pressure and preserve vision. With 
various types of laser surgeries available, 
patients have more opportunities to find a 
treatment that suits their specific needs. If you 
or a loved one is dealing with glaucoma, 
consult with an ophthalmologist to determine 
whether laser surgery is a viable option. By 
addressing the disease early, you can 
significantly reduce the risk of vision loss and 
improve your quality of life.
