Where is the best place to have surgery for angle-closure glaucoma?

Patient's question:

Recently, I've been experiencing headaches, eye pain, and temporary blurred vision. Previous thorough examinations revealed narrow-angle glaucoma. After using pilocarpine eye drops, the pain persists, and I'm planning to undergo a minor surgery. Where is the best place to have narrow-angle glaucoma surgery? Is it risky?

Doctor's answer:

Angle-closure glaucoma is a common type of glaucoma. Generally speaking, as long as it is a regular hospital ophthalmology department, the treatment effect is usually quite good. Pay attention to rest and normal life. Early follow-up and treatment in a regular hospital ophthalmology department can effectively stabilize the symptoms. Otherwise, there is nothing much to worry about or solve, just take it slow. If the symptoms persist and gradually subside, it is recommended to follow up early.
