glaucoma

Question
HI,



Could you tell me situations where glaucoma can occur. I had glaucoma long back after a LASIK surgery, Could you list out any other situations, symptoms, if any. If i am not mistaken, it can be treated by eye-drops as well as oral drugs. Correct.?


Answer
Dear Devi,



yes, Glaucoma can be Primary or Secondary to a surgery, trauma etc.



Also, most cases are under control with drops or oral medications, rarely does one need surgery.



You can read more about Glaucoma, causes, prevention etc on www.shroffeye.org



Hope this helps,



Best,

Dr Anand Shroff
