Trabeculectomy reversal

[WickedWhale]

Hi

I'm new to the forum. I had a trabeculectomy 13 months ago in my right eye. The pressure lowered well but the bleb leaked causing a blister of liquid to form on the outer corner of my eye. It's painful, debilitating and had such an impact on my life.

My consultant suggested having stitches around the middle of the eye to hopefully solve the leak. I had this procedure 5 weeks ago and the blister is just starting to form again.

Prior to this procedure, my consultant said that if this didn't work that I'd have to consider reversing the trabeculectomy.

So, I'm asking if anyone else has found themselves in a similar position and what their experience of a reversal has been?

I feel so scared to commit to further surgery but the thought of living with ongoing pain feels unbearable.
