Glaucoma

 

This online brochure is provided to inform you about glaucoma and glaucoma surgery including trabeculectomy, glaucoma implant, and laser surgery. These are performed by the Eye Specialists of Mid-Florida, P.A., surgeons. If you are contemplating glaucoma surgery, your surgeon will discuss the entire procedure with you. This brochure will be your future reference concerning details of the procedures. Our goal is to inform you as thoroughly as possible. It is natural to be somewhat anxious when considering any type of surgery. However, a well-informed patient's anxiety will be minimal. Also, a well-informed patient will understand the importance of caring for the eye properly after surgery; this will ensure achieving optimal control of your glaucoma.
