Glaucoma AVANÇADO: É melhor LASER ou CIRURGIA?

★ Advanced glaucoma can lead to blindness, and controlling eye pressure is essential. When eye drops aren't enough, treatment may involve laser or surgery – but which is the best option? Laser cyclophotocoagulation reduces the production of ocular fluid and is less invasive, ideal for those who have undergone other surgeries or require a quick recovery. However, its long-term effectiveness is not yet fully understood. Traditional surgeries, such as trabeculectomy and valve implantation, reduce eye pressure more effectively and may eliminate the need for eye drops, but require a longer postoperative period. The choice between laser and surgery depends on the patient's history and the goal for controlling eye pressure. ★ Related videos: Does a large cup mean advanced glaucoma?    • ESCAVAÇÃO muito GRANDE significa GLAUCOMA ...   What is the best surgery for advanced glaucoma?    • Qual é a melhor cirurgia para glaucoma ava...   How do you know if glaucoma is ADVANCED?    • Como saber se o glaucoma está AVANÇADO?   ★ Glaucoma Chat – Dr. Samantha Vasques – Preventing blindness with information My name is Samantha Vasques, an ophthalmologist specializing in glaucoma and cataracts in Rio de Janeiro.
