Patient's question:
My job involves long hours of computer use, and my daily diet and lifestyle are also irregular. I often work overtime. Recently, I've noticed that my eyes are very painful, and I see double. After a thorough examination at the hospital, the doctor diagnosed me with glaucoma and recommended surgery. How long does glaucoma surgery take?Doctor's answer:
The surgery for glaucoma usually takes about 20 to 30 minutes. During the surgery, local anesthesia will be used, so there will be no pain at all. Just actively cooperate with the doctor during the surgery. For glaucoma, you can first consider using medication to lower eye pressure. If the medication is not effective, surgery can also be considered. It's important to pay attention to proper eye use in daily life. A good mood is very helpful for recovery from the disease.
