Patient's question:
The child was born not long ago, and their eyes always tear up, and they always cry a lot. How many days after glaucoma surgery can they be discharged?Doctor's answer:
Glaucoma surgery generally requires a hospital stay of one week. After the surgery, avoid overusing your eyes and do not rub your eyes with your hands. You need to have a slit lamp examination every day to carefully observe the formation of the filtering bleb. After discharge, you should also have irregular eye pressure tests at the hospital. Re-examine every two weeks to prevent overusing your eyes, staying up late, getting angry, or drinking too much water at once. Pay close attention to any other discomfort symptoms, maintain local cleanliness and hygiene, prevent local infection from recurring, and avoid sharing hygiene utensils.
