Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that can damage the optic nerve and cause vision loss.
The most common type of glaucoma surgery is called trabeculectomy. This is a procedure where a small hole is created in the white part of the eye (sclera) to allow the fluid inside the eye to drain out. This reduces the intraocular pressure and helps to protect the optic nerve.
Another option is laser therapy, which uses a laser to make small openings in the iris to increase the drainage of the eye's fluid, also reducing the intraocular pressure.
You will typically be awake during this procedure, but you will also be given numbing and relaxing medication.

The success rate varies based on multiple factors between 72-92%.
