Patient's question:
My father used Tobradex eye drops every 2 hours and Tobradex ointment every night for 10 days after his trabeculectomy surgery on May 9th. On the 11th day, he had a follow-up appointment (on May 20th), and his intraocular pressure was 7 mmHg. The doctor said everything was normal and told him to stop all eye drops and ointments. He was scheduled for a follow-up in one month. His vision was 0.12 (0.4 when discharged).Doctor's answer:
The choice of surgical methods for secondary glaucoma following ocular trauma is relatively complex, as the location and severity of the trauma vary. Within the first month after surgery, mild eye redness and soreness are generally normal. If the redness becomes significant after stopping the use of Bausch & Lomb, it can be resumed, with 2 to 3 applications per day. Since the factors leading to ocular trauma are diverse, it is essential to identify the cause before treatment to adopt targeted measures for effective results. Additionally, daily care measures are indispensable. It is recommended to drink plenty of water and consume vegetables and fruits rich in vitamins.
