Patient's question:
Doctor, I would like to say hello to the doctor. How should I deal with high intraocular pressure after glaucoma surgery? My husband suffers from glaucoma, and he has had surgery now. The doctor said his intraocular pressure is still a bit high. What should we do? How can we reduce the intraocular pressure?Doctor's answer:
After glaucoma surgery, it is still possible for intraocular pressure to rise. Medications to lower intraocular pressure may still be needed, and even a second surgery may be required. Therefore, it is essential to have regular eye pressure checks at the hospital after surgery. If the eye pressure remains high, consider using medications to lower it concurrently. If a filtering surgery was performed, the massage of the filtration bubble can also help reduce intraocular pressure. In some cases, a second surgical procedure may still be necessary.
